The Cure have launched an extensive remixed edition of last year's Songs Of A Lost World album.

The Mixes Of A Lost World set will be released acrosss multiple editions via Fiction on June 13, and includes tracks by established remixers like Four Tet and Paul Oakenfold – both out now – and Orbital, as well as artists like Deftones frontman Chino Moreno, Mogwai, 65daysofstatic, The Twilight Sad and many more.

“Just after Christmas I was sent a couple of unsolicited remixes of Songs Of A Lost World tracks and I really loved them," says band leader Robert Smith. "The Cure has a colourful history with all kinds of dance music, and I was curious as to how the whole album would sound entirely reinterpreted by others.

"This curiosity resulted in a fabulous trip through all eight songs by 24 wonderful artists and remixers and is way beyond anything I could have hoped for. Giving our recording royalties from the project to War Child helps make Mixes Of A Lost World an even more special release.”

War Child, the charity that supports children living with the effects of war and conflict, was also the beneficiary Songs Of A Live World Troxy London MMXXlV, a live album recorded at The Cure's album launch show at the 3100-capacity Troxy in East London last year.

Mixes Of A Lost World will be available as a 3LP/3CD/3MC deluxe edition featuring both the ‘Artists’ & ‘Remixers’ tracks, while the The 2LP/2CD/2MC edition features the ‘Remixers’ tracks only. All editions come wrapped in alternative artwork by the band's longtime collaborator Andy Vella. Full tracklist below.

Mixes Of A Lost World is available to pre-order now.
