Robert on 'Three Imaginary Boys'...
"The reason for the non image was that we weren't particularly affiliated as a group with anything. There was no left wing, no right wing, no nothing. People think that if you enjoy playing the same sort of music you have to have the same beliefs or like the same things or stand for the same things. I don't think it really follows. If it was a co-operative like the Mekons I could understand it. But with us it's just a musical thing. I don't really socialize with Mick and Lol. I never socialize with anyone really." (Elliptical Image Games Sounds 9/8/1979 talking about the cover graphic)
"It's funny, but I don't really think of that as the cure, because it grew out of something that was happening at school. On the first night of recording, I distinctly remember thinking, this isn't sounding the way I want it to. Even then, I was very calculating and very aware of what we where doing, but I realised that unless we conceded certain things, we'd never get the record made. Then I actually went outside for a piss, and thought, forget it...I could go home now and do the record when I have the chance to do it the way I want. But then my other voice said, do it now, then do the next one how you want. I'm very glad I listened to that voice. When the album got a good reception, I began to think seriously that i could do this for real". (Cure News 19 - May 1998)
"Not a very good album. Michael was the only one who could play, so his guitar melodies were quite dominant." (Gaffa (Danish music magazine) Feb.2000)
"I thought the artwork was a bag of shite, too. It was all Parry's idea, he had this vision of the group that I reluctantly went along with. He even chose which songs should go on the LP. By the time it came out, I'd already written "M" and "Play For Today", so I'd mentally divorced myself from it anyway. I thought what were doing was soulless." (Uncut Magazine, February 2000) |
