The 2LP/2CD/2MC edition features the “Remixers” tracks only and comes as a black vinyl 2LP with a gatefold sleeve; a double CD in 6-panel digisleeve includes foldout CD poster; the limited edition double cassette has individually printed o-cards and obi-strip is also exclusive to The Cure store.
Speaking about Mixes of a Lost World, Robert Smith said: “Just after Christmas I was sent a couple of unsolicited remixes of Songs of a Lost World tracks and I really loved them. The Cure has a colourful history with all kinds of dance music, and I was curious as to how the whole album would sound entirely reinterpreted by others. This curiosity resulted in a fabulous trip through all 8 songs by 24 wonderful artists and remixers and is way beyond anything I could have hoped for. Giving our recording royalties from the project to War Child helps make Mixes of a Lost World an even more special release.”
Andy Vella, a long-time Cure collaborator, has “remixed” the artwork for the album, which as with Songs Of A Lost World, features “Bagatelle,” a 1975 sculpture by Janez Pirnat.
