The Cure will reissue their timeless 1989 gothic masterpiece Disintegration on May 25. Across the pond? The day before.

Included therein, this previously-unreleased track — among many others, apparently — “Delirious Night.” It is nice work, a better cut than, say, “Homesick” or “untitled,” but it simply wouldn’t have fit. Disintegration remains as one of the most cohesive works of the decade: a project in every sense of the word. But this fact puts a reissue under some pretty heavy scrutiny.

So while the present correspondent takes no umbrage with a musician trying to earn a living, even a bit crassly, he doesn’t have to recommend you part with your hard-earned, either.

Listen to the track just below. And find source of the title quote, here.
