JacobMckinley Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 I am curious to when the Pumpkin Reissue train ends what will come next. I wonder if he will feel like diving into the Future Embrace and Zwan era's. There has to be some untapped gold in there somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thesecrets0308 Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 There's a used copy of Future Embrace on cd for cheap at my local store that I've been tempted a couple times to pick up. Never heard it, is it any good? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never heard it, is it any good? It's good in some really cathartic ways. I feel like while it isn't incredible, it shares alot with Adore. Also, it did kind of get swept under the rug when Billy announced the SP reunion on the same day as his record release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's only like 3 or 4 bucks. I'll probably snag it the next time I go to the record store. Thanks for the feedback. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the feedback. it's got some great tunes and some not-so-great tunes. i feel like the tracks should have been in a different order so they'd flow better.

Rumor has it the chicago kid stuff will come out along with TFE and I know Zwan has at least 40 recordings never released (Spun soundtrack, all the songs from the DVD, etc) and tons of live stuff.

The first 4 live shows that Zwan put on were incredible. I was at the first two. Over half that stuff never got released. Probably their best work, in my opinion.

dreamover Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Fear and greed. $80 is a good price but it seems to just keep going lower and lower - down $5 a day for the last week or so. I'm afraid if I don't grab it soon it will jump back to $120, but on the other hand, I'm really curious how low it can go. price just jumped .20. i think it's done going down. now's the time to jump on it if you're waiting.

It is a cold stale turd of an album. Comparing it to Adore is heresy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably their best work, in my opinion. i think i went to one of those shows and yeah most of the stuff played didn't show up on the Zwan album. i was living in LA at the time and we drove south for like 40 minutes. the venue was weird, my wife an i sat at a table for four for the show. another couple sat at the table with us. i think i have a Zwan shirt in the attic somewhere, there is an odd inside the shirt print on it.

azvd Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 As a hard core fan myself I will advise you to stay away from Future Embrace. It is a cold stale turd of an album. Comparing it to Adore is heresy. TFE is kind of an electronic gothic album. He relies on influences like Cure and Bauhaus, it has that dark mood all around it. I guess a handful of fans were dissapointed 'cause they were expecting an acoustic album for a solo debut, something that would represent Corgan's qualities as he's recognized from the Pumpkins. The point is that it's got Billy's handcraft in top form although it's buried or disguised under the electronic approach. I also don't see the relations between it and Adore, the latter is an acoustic/piano album supported by electronic structures while TFE is purposedly based on electronic arrangements. The fact is that time made me enjoy TFE and it's my favorite Corgan related music since the classic Pumpkins called it quits. Yeah, better than Zwan IMHO.

turbobrando Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 I had the georgia peach. it was really good, as i'm not a big tea drinker. I love that all the baked goods are vegan and gluten free. the pumpkin bread was amazing. Sounds cool. My gf is a big tea drinker, so I was kinda curious Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dreamover Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 YES! Just got notification that my Aeroplane Vinyl set is out for delivery. Only took two days to get here from canada with the $16 expedited shipping (standard shipping was $15). The price went up a couple bucks last night. If you want it for under $100, i'd jump on this now... http://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B00D5YNQ5E/ref=shptrk_scth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thesecrets0308 Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Don't got the scratch for even this really good deal. Already dropped all my vinyl spending money this week. I'm just going to hope it's still reasonably priced around Christmas time. I don't recall anyone giving any kind of an in-depth review of the sound quality of this box. If any of the discs have issues similar to MCIS reissue disc 1 IGD, I may even pass on it all together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As someone who was driven crazy by the MCIS issues, I can happily report that none of the audio defects are present on the Aeroplane box. It truly sounds incredible. thesecrets0308 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan8765 Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 I listened to each side once and had no issues with my copy. TAFH is a solid release. Would've been nice to have a book included but C'est la Vie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dreamover Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 I am definitely disappointed there was no book or any original art, especially as I have the aeroplane from the original set tattooed on my wrist. But I'll be picking up the CD set soon. I'm halfway the first side of Zero which is long as hell and it still sounds really good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
