Surely I'm not the only one who's got some love for anything from the rest of the Curve catalog. While "Horror Head" is indeed a truly awesome song, nothing beats "Coast Is Clear" [from the Frozen EP and the EP collection, Pubic Fruit--best album art EVER!] and "Unreadable Communication".

"I would like to invite you to my mother's house, to my bedroom, to play all those records we know all the words to and I would like you to kiss me, to crush me, to lick me 'til I beg you to stop, 'til you drive me crazy, 'til I want you to stop."

Toni Halliday could have her way with my little homo ass anyday. Don't act like you don't know what I'm talking about either, kittens. I've never been so sad as the day I found out they'd broken up.

Except for the day that I found out they'd broken up the second time.

This was the first "britpop" band in my perception. Curve were responsible for pushing me toward other under-the-radar british artists and I will always associated them with that movement. I don't know where or how I originally keyed into Curve (I think it might have been Beavis & Buthead), but I remember thinking it all sounded so refreshing next to the slop of grunge/alternative that was everywhere.

As mentioned above, imitated often(you hear me Garbage!). FYI: Toni's husband Alan Moulder is responsible for some of the greatest albums of all time(Nine Inch Nails, Jesus & Mary Chain, My Bloody Valentine, Depeche Mode, etc...)

Thanks for posting it, I think I lost track of that CD years ago.

(re: "Horror Head") But you posted first, so I guess I owe you the Coke.

I worshipped this album in college.

As long as you're summarizing the album, you guys should post "Horror Head" (track 2) - killer guitar and vocal hooks on that one.

Easily the best song of 1992, and definitely one of the best of the entire decade.

Curve was one of those early innovators who get very little credit for what they helped create, in this case the mid '90s electronica movement. Without Curve you never would have had Gravity Kills, Stabbing Westward, Sister Machine Gun, The Prodigy, Chemical Brothers, etc...
