Happens often with Curve. Toni's voice and the production are so good, it's inevitable. I remember not liking Cuckoo too much when it came out - seemed less extreme and less beautiful than the earlier songs, but I grew to like it.
@@vanillacaffelatte get into Frozen EP. It's a stunner. Still have fond memories of seeing them a few times in the early 90's. Toni Halliday was a force to be reckoned with.
Always and forever, thank you to Great Britain and the British people whose creativity, since the 1960s, has given the rest of the World hundreds of unique bands such as the Curve and music of unparalleled beauty, quirkiness and atmosphere. What would our lives have been without British bands? Thank you from Sicily.
This song makes me nostalgic for very early 2000's (even though the song is from the 90's). I love this elegant darkness, unrepeatable in modern music.
Here are some fun facts about the songs: - Both were track #7 on their parent albums - Both were released as singles - Both had a video released - The video for each song included a remix version, instead of their original album versions - You can't find any video of the songs being performed on stage, only sound recordings *edit* Here's another fun fact I found out about: Both songs were part of MTV2's A to Z playlist marathon; Lush went first and then Curve, as part of letter S.
Saw Curve at Nottingham Rock City (92 or 93) the support band was Swervedriver who basically blew Nottingham away with how loud they played.I remember standing on the dancefloor with a pint in my hand and it actually had a tide in it because the wooden floor was bouncing that much !!! By the time swervedriver had finished I think everyone's ears (mine anyway) were squealing so when Curve came on everyone was really quiet, even Debbie the guitarist came up to the mike and said"You're all a bit fucking quiet aren't you ?" It was a shame, Curve was my favourite band, Toni has got a fantastic voice and an amazing stage presence.I've got to admit I left the gig a bit disappointed and never got the chance to see them again, but if Toni wants to marry me its still a "Yes, of course!!!"
Yeah was at that gig. Their performance ranks as one of the most eagerly anticipated but equally disappointing gigs of my life. Gutted to say the least as were my 2 pals
Curve were just so underrated. Love the clever continuity between this video and the previous one for the absolutely storming 'Missing Link' - that was a chaotic mudbath in the rain (funnily pre-empting NIN's mudfest at Woodstock 94) - whereas this one is a cleaner bubble storm in a similarly trashy setting. Smart!
'Superblaster' was a single in both Europe and America - though strangely not in Curve's native UK. The track listing across the 2 releases was different and the European release is now near-impossible to track down (and very expensive if it comes up for sale). I could never understand why it wasn't chosen as a single in the UK.
The finest then as now ignored band of the 90s. They influenced near enough everyone, and Garbage beat them to their fame in the process, who almost should've been sued for stylistic plagiarism. Curve were the shit.
I found out about the band only in 2008 on a game called frequency, I wish I knew them before. Unfortunately here in my country no one knows the band and there are no records from them on the stores, I met only 2 guys here who also know them, but the rest of people never heard about, it's sad =\ I tried to like garbage, but I can't, for me their music is too awful, there's only one song from them that I like, it's called Vow, but only this one. Garbage is not that good, but Curve, Curve is pure love ♡
Curve's first four CDs are out of print now, Kywoki. I actually lost my copies of Cuckoo and Doppelganger. I'm buying them back second hand soon on Amazon. And yeah, I quite like Garbage in small doses, but they were grossly overyped.
If you love Curve you should check out an album called Wrapped in Plastic by the band Blindness, which was Debbie Smith's band after her time in Curve and Echobelly. Also Dean Garcia's post-Curve stuff with SPC-ECO
Curve was - and still is - one of my favourite bands of all time! Please unblock (remove geo-lock) for "Fait Accompli", "Horror Head", "Missing Link" etc :-(
...But adored by us Goths! I remember watching them back in 92 in Manchester. Such a great band. I still use them in my DJ sets to this day. I think the mistake people make is labelling them. I got in a 'handbags at dawn' type scrap over them outside the London Astoria in 93. He said "They're Shoegaze" and I said "Bugger off! They're goth" Turns out, we were both kind of right! I won the fight though..
I've been watching a lot of Curve videos these last few days. They're mentioned in this this book I keep in the bathroom, and then there was the LAZOR COLLECTION, and I fell in a hole. The entire time I'm thinking, "Okay, attractive white woman on the mic, generic nineties rock, all the TV soundtracks are full of this shit, and it sounds okay, but they ain't the Pixies, y'know?" And this is just the kind of shallow, bland, guess-you-had-to-be-there impression you could expect from a caucasian, cis-het, Gen X metalhead that pretty much gave up on music after Dimebag was murdered, and flat out buried it after Anselmo kept chucking up nazi salutes, 'cause who needs _that_ shit in their lives, right? I don't. But the commentors are all gigantic Curve fans, and I hope you don't waste a single heartbeat of your precious COVID-free time hating me for not getting on board. It's not so much that Curve isn't seaworthy, it's more that I can't reach the ladder. Feel free to pity me my philistinery. The comments are making one thing undeniably clear to me: Curve sound generic to me 'cause the entire nineties radio-friendly rock/TV soundtrack industry saw and heard what Curve were doing and copied it to fucking death and massive profit before Curve themselves popped up on my admittedly limited radar. So they didn't construct the central column on which nineties pop-culture was built and hanged, they drew up the blueprint. That I can respect. Then again, there are tons of multi-hour jazz collections here on TH-cam, and I've been letting them play in the background on my headphones while I work on my DFBHD mods, a situation which can comfortably be described by the phrase, "What the not-metal _fuck?"_ and I can only conclude that my thoughts and opinions on anything short of .wac file scripting can be safely ignored, but thanks for reading, anyway.
they didn't actually Garbage and Curve sound were not similar until Curve came up with "Come Clean" in 1998 when Garbage already had that industrial sound in their 1995 debut
That's true Lizard. Yet 'true' musicheads have always narrowed everything down to the initial ep's. But Pubic Fruit, Doppleganger, Radio Sessions and Cuckoo are all great recordings - I would have loved to hear Cherry with Cukoo's production. I'm not a fan of later stuff, but that's because of the stylistic shift.

Most under-appreciated band of all time. Doppelganger is still in my top 10 of albums of all time.
same here.
🔥🔥🔥1993🔥🔥🔥
They are literally the blueprint for Garbage.
@@mrwanksock Yup. I often think that. If Garbage got Flood to produce their album I can see that sounding very similar.
No no and no, the most underappreciated shoegaze band is called Ozean
Discovered this band yesterday, now I'm on a binge of all of their material

I discovered them in January this year thanks to Recoil. What a fcking amazing band.

Nice one :) Tell that to the Eurovision judges :P
Eurovision isn't really music is it
It's cheese and toast.

I have the same feeling... I get the same "2000s nostalgia" from this song
Definitely The best contemporany rock era... 90's I miss them!
Curve and Toni were pure gold!
Curve - Superblaster, & Lush - Superblast! Both from 1992
Here are some fun facts about the songs:
- Both were track #7 on their parent albums
- Both were released as singles
- Both had a video released
- The video for each song included a remix version, instead of their original album versions
- You can't find any video of the songs being performed on stage, only sound recordings
*edit*

@@yckfides5613 Thanks for these weird facts! I wonder if it's just a coincidence?
1993*
Love this band great music vocals always from toni loved that era
I really, really miss CURVE... much needed today.
Not quite the same but they sprang to mind. have you heard No Joy? They've done some interesting albums.
th-cam.com/video/svGwTxzn-a4/w-d-xo.html
Better go check SPC ECO... not the same but evolving. Dean Garcia, he's the man.
One of my most favourite bands *EVER*. Jesus, they were ~AMAZING~!!!
their sound is so awesome and out of this world.
I remember when they first hit. The sound and the vocals I loved.. I found Frozen Ep Clipped ep on vinyl. Now I want the lot
Super feedback black noise all day long 😊❤😊❤
Great track from the most underrated band in the world! Heavenly vocals from wonderfull Toni Halliday! 💯
Saw Curve at Nottingham Rock City (92 or 93) the support band was Swervedriver who basically blew Nottingham away with how loud they played.I remember standing on the dancefloor with a pint in my hand and it actually had a tide in it because the wooden floor was bouncing that much !!!

Shame u were disappointed. I seen them at Brum Uni. Small venue packed out, great crowd. Curve rocked that night. Danced my socks off. Miss them days!
And the other support band along with Swervedriver was Tiny Monroe (at least at Manchester Academy in September 1993)
Oh!!! the 90´s
masterpiece! my favourite band ever
I love Curve. Since highschool. In the early 90s. ❤ forever.
I'm do daaam grateful I saw them live at iBeam, San Francisco ❤

I have all of their albums and ep's, loved them. Never got to see them live though

woow why this band is not so famous???.. great ,danke brittain
Toni
best video ever, period
Just discovered that Toni is married to one of my favourite producers of all time: Alan Moulder.
какая женщина 🤘🖤
I'm completely new to Curve. Why, oh why haven't I checked them out before now?
saw them live twice back in the day, much ignored but great band. The early ep's were superb.
We're the masters
Of the superblaster

No, the thing is that Curve albuns were never on the stores here, even when they started the band, their albuns never came to my country
That's too bad. On another note, their early catalogue desperately needs rereleased.
I'm still young
Style!
Thanks be to egregore for Curve
If you love Curve you should check out an album called Wrapped in Plastic by the band Blindness, which was Debbie Smith's band after her time in Curve and Echobelly. Also Dean Garcia's post-Curve stuff with SPC-ECO
thank you for existing, fellow human being!!!
Also, the sound of Paradise Lost's album "Host" is heavily influenced by Curve.
Found it:

They were good in the early 90s, and they still sound great nearly 30 ys later. Good is good FACT.
Oh Lord, how I miss them...
Perfect.
Yay! I thought a vid for this must exist :) Love this tune and the album 'Cuckoo' - my favourite record of Curve's.
It’s unusual to see Curve in the light.
Mi grupo favorito,..
Nada se le parece !
Aha !!!
What a tune
Goats go for joy ride in sid vicious car
Ecstasy music
Love Curve
amooo
love it
Toni Haliday is fit
aaaaaaaah aaaaaaaaaaaaaah .... I luv u baby I luv u baby.

Best climate change impression in an alternative music video ever.
In fact this is more what was on the Doppelganger album which was pretty choice
Fuck i love them so much !!!!!!! They made my 90`S ! Tony is a true beauty, looks like my bride
Mother of God...Toni Halliday...Will You Marry Me?
Goats go for joy ride in sid vicious car= yes I will
lmao she's married
I would reach out, until you COME
Too indie for the pop kids, too pop for the indie kids...
Slipped straight between genres and disappeared down the back of the sofa.

Are there any more videos recorded of them playing live at gigs or on TV out there? Just asking as there seems to be so little available.
GUSTAVO CERATI!
Amaba Curve ese hombre.
the band Garbage never managed to be . . .
LOL Garbage were super famous and delivered great music.
@@calinfus80s But they took a great cue from Curve and you should be able to admit that.
@@pablobroardo3921 i admit that, they took some influence, but saying Garbage copied everything from Curve is a stretch.

not really.
