I've totally been there with the noise/ambient stuff. Sometimes it catches me when I'm in the perfect mood, sometimes it doesn't. Regardless of whether or not it's something that ever clicks with you, I think the important thing is that you are striving to understand it. You might not always enjoy it, but as a lover of music you strive to appreciate it. And that's pretty cool. Good luck with The Cure project! Find ways to make it fun!
