The Cure will be recording a new album in January 2006 with a release planned for Summer 2006. According to Porl, he will be staying in the band to work on the album, while Simon says that they have 20 songs already written. Smith is at the meantime wrapping up the next reissues planned for The Cure such as "The blue sunshine", "Top", "The head on the door" and "Kiss me, kiss me, kiss me". All are scheduled for release in spring 2006. Smith has also started writing some film music and putting together a 5.1 live summer 2005 DVD, "In orange". In a remark on the official website Smith also comments on the reason the band is not on the Live8 DVD: "... is because 'they' wanted 'hits'... plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose? Or something..."
