Stunning and Essential,
By Bodhisatva Baby "bodhisatvababy" (Sparks, NV United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Pubic Fruit (Audio CD)
For those of you who have not managed to locate the EPs or did not purchase them when they were first release, this is a wonderful way to make up and complete your Curve listening experience. It also includes an extended mix of 'Fait'. Curve's earlier sound is gritty, innovative, and most importantly fun in an "angry girl gets back" kind of way. Of course Toni's voice is completed beautifully by the wonderful noise of Dean, which is the yang to her yin, and the twang and grind in what would otherwise be another chick fronted band with angst (which, as we all know, would be Garbage ; ) ).Even here Toni's lyrics show a maturity we don't get from many female front persons, where she broods but not without a sense of irony and responsibility. She doesn't blame everything on men like most of my gender do. And how can she, when a man, Dean Garcia, provides the best music a girl to hope to sing with? I envy her, I do. But in any event, get this, because if you don't, you will be kicking yourself over and over later when you chance to hear it at your dodgy ex-boyfriend's house.

Way Ahead of their time...,
By Greekfreak (Pusan Korea (South)) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Pubic Fruit (Audio CD)
Hands down, one of the top 25 records of the 1990's, although some may disqualify it on account of it being a collection of the band's first 3 or 4 EPs.Curve was definitely a studio band, and the production here lacks a peer. From "Cherry", "Clipped", "Coast Is Clear", to (my favourite on the album) the extended version of "Fait Accompli", there isn't a weak track on it. It sounds more abrasive than anything Skinny Puppy could put out, but at the same time, more lush than a Brian Eno wet dream. Time might have passed Curve by, but a certain band loved them enough to revamp/dilute the formula a few years later to mainstream success (read the other reviews to figure it out); the difference in quality between the two is massive. Shirley Manson, eat your heart out...

The Start Of A Great Band,
By
This review is from: Pubic Fruit (Audio CD)
"Pubic Fruit" is actually a compilation of EP's, that Curve had first released in the early 90's. But listening to this album, you wouldn't even know. The album flow remarkably well from start to finish. Curve is one of the biggest sleeper bands ever. Their trademark thrash metal guitars with techno beats and Halliday's sensual goth like female vocals is so out there, that no one has come close or sounds anything like them. And that's a great thing. Garbage must have been a fan of Curve, because they're are similarities in their music, but I like them both for different reasons. Stand out songs for me are "Galaxy", "Coast Is Clear", "Ten Little Girls" and "Die Like A Dog".
