Japanese Whispers catches The Cure mid-pivot, and this CD edition gathers the singles and B-sides that pulled Robert Smith out of the gloom and onto the dancefloor.
By 1983 the band had all but come apart after the bleak intensity of Pornography. Smith answered with a run of singles so playful and odd that they baffled some listeners and won over many more. Heard together in one sitting, they play like a secret diary of a group reinventing itself on the fly, one single at a time.
Let's Go To Bed opens proceedings with a wiry synth-pop strut, all drum machine snap and knowing deadpan, built to confound anyone expecting more darkness. The Walk follows with a chilly, insistent keyboard line that sits somewhere between New York club music and London art-school mischief. Then comes The Lovecats, a finger-clicking, upright-bass jazz caper that sounds like it was cut after hours in a cartoon speakeasy.
The deeper cuts earn their place too. The Upstairs Room and Speak My Language trade the hits' bright surfaces for murkier, more intimate moods, while La Ment drifts somewhere quietly unsettling.
Eight tracks and not a wasted minute. For anyone tracing the line from the goth years to the pop triumphs that followed, this is the hinge, and a very good time besides.
