| carnage visors |
| this long instrumental was recorded by the cure for a film of the same name, "carnage visors." the film was shot by simon gallup's brother ric gallup...instead of having an opening act for the 1981 picture tour, the band opted instead to have a short film play before they took the stage. in one of those strange cure-happenings, something went wrong with the film (technical mishap, the film was shot at the wrong speed or underdeveloped...or overdeveloped) and they had to rush to get a quick fix in time for the tour... this soundtrack was actually released as an extra for the cassette versions of the "faith" release ("faith" on side one/"carnage visors" on side two), but never officially released on compact disc. side note--the title "carnage visors" is actually a kind of antonym to the idea of "rose coloured glasses." instead of seeing things thru rose coloured glasses, imagine seeing the world thru carnage visors... |
