Product Description

From Amazon.com

An ambitious yet practical idea, Trilogy underscores the tonal and lyrical connections between three of the Cure's darkest albums in the last 20 years. The restless, ever-changing band, fronted by goth-gloomster Robert Smith, took up residence at the Tempodrom Berlin for a couple of nights in late 2002 for the express purpose of playing the group's 1982 Pornography, 1989's Disintegration, and 2000's Bloodflowers live and in their entirety. Whether it was a good idea or not depends on one's point of view. All three sets are long on droning, funereal rhythm sections, thick guitar lines that carry good pop melodies to overstylized destruction, and Smith's own cracked, morose vocals. On the other hand, fine distinctions emerge: The Disintegration portion of the show is lightest on its feet, with lush orchestration on "Plainsong," a hint of swing on "Lovesong," and cinematic tendencies in the stirring "The Same Deep Water as You." The rest of the concert is numbing. --Tom Keogh

This review is from: Cure, the:Dark Trilogy (DVD)
The pornography set sounds amazing, much better than on the murky album when the band was not as experienced. Even the 2 bonus tracks, especially "The Kiss", sound awesome. The picture quality is quite incredible; I had to magnify quite a bit to notice any grain. And the camera work is nicely done. The performances are also pitch perfect and precise, so if you didn't like the "Show" or "Paris" albums for their improvisational qualities and off-beatedness, this is for you. A great buy.
