At
last, Roland Orzabal and Curt Smith have put the word 'end' to the many
rumours about a Tears for Fears reunion which is now, by all effects,
reality. The duo, who wanted 'to rule the world' in the 80's, split up
in 1992, when Curt Smith, after the thousandth argument with fellow group
member Orzabal, decided to leave the band, thus making 'Elemental' a Roland
Orzabal solo album. During the splitup period, both members hadn't enjoyed
big success as performers (Orzabal's songs have been released under the
TFF brand, Curt founded a band called Mayfield). Orzabal, though, has
produced, together with Eg of Eg & Alice fame, Emiliana Torrini's
brilliant debut, 'Love in the time of science'.
Of
course, Tears for Fears have announced a new record and a 'nostalgia'
tour, the best chance to hear those original songs from that original
band. Now, everyone expects some of those tunes we all loved to sing in
the times of old. Even if they're gonna be songs from the small chair,
well, who's going to care anyway...
