Ubuntwana bukaRobert Smith

URobert James Smith wazalelwa eBlackpool, eNgilandi. Xa wayeneminyaka engama-6, xa eqala ukuthabatha isiginci, wuleza wafunda izixhobo kwaye wabonisa wonke umntu italente yakhe yomculo. Ngo-13 umzalwana omdala wanika i-star star ikarita yokuqala yombane uRobert ayenolwazi ngokubini.

Ngaphandle kokufunda, umculi wakha amaqela akhe okuqala. Abazange bahlale ixesha elide, abadlali abazange bafike kwisigaba esikhulu, kodwa bafumana ithuba elifunekayo ekuqaleni komsebenzi wabo. Kamva, uRobert uxoshwa esikolweni, oku kumnika ithuba lokuba "adlale" kumculo aze aphuhlise iqela lakhe: loo minyaka yayisoloko iCure elula. Igama elithi uRobert akazange alithande kakhulu, iqela latshintshwa ngo-1977.

Ukuqala kweempawu zomculo

Ulwaphulo lwaqala umsebenzi wakhe, okwenzela iingoma zeengoma ezidumile: uDavid Bowie, uJimmy Hendrix nabanye. Emva kokuba iingoma zombhali zokuqala ezibhalwa nguRobert zibonakala, iqela lahlanganiswa nguPaul Stephen Thompson noPeter O'Toole. Bonke baqala umsebenzi wabo womculo. URobert ngokwakhe, njengokungathi akawuphepheli, wathatha indawo yomntu wangaphambili.

Ngowe-1977, iHansa Records iququzelele umncintiswano womculo kwiitalente ezincinci, apho iqela laphumelela khona kuqala. Kodwa impumelelo ayizange ihlale ixesha elide, uHansa Records akafuni ukutyikitya isivumelwano kunye neqela elincinane kunye nokurekhoda i-albhamu.

Ukuqala komsebenzi omkhulu

Sekuqaleni ngowe-1977, i-studio yeFiction Records "ithathe" iqela, kwaye kungekudala i-albhamu yokuqala yabhalwa. Iingoma ezibhalwa nguRobert Smyth, zithatha kakubi, zamangalela iqela lobuhlanga ngenxa yokubulala omnye umntu ongumArabhu. Abaphulaphuli babengacacanga ukuba ukwakhiwa kwabhaliwe phantsi kwengcamango kaRobert evela ku-Albert Camus wencwadi ethi Outsider, kodwa kwakunzima ukuyichazela uluntu.

Kuze kube ngo-1980, ibhande lixhasa i-S & TB, kwaye uRobert Smith ngokwakhe "uyaqhawulwa" phakathi kweS & TB kunye neCure. Ekupheleni khenketho, iqoqo lilinde impumelelo enkulu kunye nabalandeli abazinikeleyo emsebenzini wabo.

Iimpawu zeGothic

Kungekudala iqela likhuphe i-albhamu yesibili ebizwa ngokuthi yiSeventeen Seconds, enye enye e-TOP-10 yezona zinto zilungileyo kwi-UK. Imvakalelo yeengoma ibuhlungu ngakumbi, kodwa oku akuthinteli ukuba abalandeli baxabise ubuchule.

URobert Smith akaqapheli nokuba iingoma zakhe zininzi kangakanani "ababuhlungu" abaphulaphuli. Nangona uRobert engazange ahlale exinezelekile, iingoma zakhe zazizibulala, kwaye ngenxa yesi siganeko, uMatthew Hartley washiya elo qela.

Abafana basebenza ngokugqoka. Umfanekiso walawa maqhekeza-abavukeli kunye neengoma, ezizaliswe ukudabuka obubi, zaqhuba umenzi wezinto eziphambeneyo. URobert ngokwakhe uzibamba nje ukuba akaqondi nto nantoni na, ngohlobo oluthile lwesimo. Ukongeza, uqala ukusebenzisa iziyobisi ezinzima. Ukuvuselela ubuchopho obunjalo kwanikela ingoma entsha kwiingoma zebhendi, ngoku abazange bazidabuke, kodwa banobudlova.

Ukusuka kwinkokeli uRobert ujika waba ngumlawuli, kwaye kungekudala uTolhurst uhlala eqela. Kwixesha elithile uqokelelo luyeka ukuba lukho ngokwenene ekuphakameni kwalo.

Ukuzala kwakhona

Umtshakazi kaRobert Marie Paul uthatha umyeni waya eWales. Kulapho, imeko yakhe iphuculwe kakhulu, kunye nokubona okufanelekileyo ukubuyisela kuye inyaniso.

Iminyaka emininzi iqela liye lasebenza kuphela kwiingoma ezidibeneyo. URobert wenza kwi-S & TB, usebenzisa izidakamizwa kwaye ubuyela kwisidyuli sangaphambili. Ngaphambili ngamalungu eqela axoxisanayo, phantsi kokuhlaselwa kwabavelisi, ubhala iingoma ezihlukeneyo, ezithe zenzeke ngokumangalisayo, zize ziphumelele.

Emva kwexesha elithile, uRobert Smith uthatha inxaxheba kumaqela amathathu, emva koko kubini. Ukubuyiswa kokuxhomekeka kweziyobisi, umculi ulahlekelwa ukulawulwa kwimeko, ngokukhawuleza ugqibe ukushiya i-S & TB kwaye asebenze kuphela kwiCure. Ixesha elidlulileyo lachaphazela impilo ka-Smith, kokubili ngokomzimba nangokwengqondo, kodwa akashiyi ithemba.

URobert, Lawrence kunye noSeverin baye baqhuba kunye nomculi noAndy Anderson kunye no-bassist uPhil Thornelli okwethutyana, beqala iphepha elitsha ebomini bombutho. Nangona kunjalo, uAnderson uyashiya i-squad ngokukhawuleza, ngenxa yoluhambo olulandelayo, iqela liye lahamba kunye nomculo omtsha onetalente uBoris Williams.

Iqela elitsha elinomxholo omtsha

Kungekudala, uSimon Gallup ubuyela kwindawo yaseTrandel; kwiqela, akukho mntu usebenzisa iziyobisi ngelixa erekhoda ama-albhamu.

Ngomnyaka we-1986, abalandeli bamangaliswa ngenguqu kumfanekiso wenkokeli yeqela: wazisika iinwele zakhe, watshintsha. Ngeli xesha, I-Cure ikhupha rhoqo i-albhamu, ihamba ngeenxa zonke kwihlabathi. Nangona kunjalo, ngo-1989, inkokeli yeqela laxotha uLutherrence ngenxa yokunxila kwakhe. Abafundi abazange bafikelele ekufundiseni, ngokuqinisekileyo abazange bathathe inxaxheba ebomini beqela. Kwakunzima kuRobert ukuba enze ukhetho olunjalo, njengoko ubuhlobo besikhathi eside budibana noLaurence, kodwa iimfuno zeqela zazibaluleke kakhulu.

Ngo-1990, kwakhona ngenxa yokungavumelani nenkokeli, u-O'Donnell washiya ibhendi, owayesenokuba neCure kule minyaka emibili edlulileyo. Endaweni yakhe yafika uPerry Bamont, owayedla ngokuthatha inxaxheba kumbutho webhanki. Ekubeni ngo-1991 iqoqo labizwa ngokuthi "Iqela Eligqibeleleyo LaseBrithani Enkulu".
