“The Hanging Garden” / “A Forest” (Fiction FICG 15) July 1982
The Cure | The Hanging Garden | (Fiction) 1982 | Clever idea – an open-out double single pack. One 7″ is a live version of what is probably the best known Cure track, ‘A Forest’ sounding as powerful as ever and conveying a controlled aggression.
The other record is what’s probably the actual single, a track taken from their latest album. ‘The Hanging Garden’ has the familiar driving beat, rhythmic guitar and anguished vocals faded into the background, but lacks that extra something to make it strand out. (Noise! magazine, July 1982)
