Robert Smith (The Cure) : (during recording at Hook End Manor, near Reading, UK) I became very isolated and went into one of my non-talking modes. The others thought I'd lost the plot. They were still caught up with the idea that we were becoming a really famous band and they weren't grasping that the music I wanted to make was incredibly morose and downbeat.
Stuart Braithwaite (Mogwai) : Disintegration by The Cure is one of the greatest records of all time. It has the feel that only a tiny amount of albums have, that it exists completely in its own universe, immune to context or fashion. I literally cannot imagine the band members in a room playing these songs for the first time, its as if they've always been there. From stunning opener, Plainsong, through to Untitled, it is unrelentingly beautiful and achingly sad. Disintegration is a simply wonderful record.
