kannibal Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 There is no way it's worth more than 1 listen.To each their own, of course, but I agree whole heartedly. This stuff is more art or expression than music to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thesecrets0308 Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 Sooo Zeitgeist and Oceania? (and Teargarden 1 & 2?) Zeitgeist was lame. Oceania was great. Opinions are like assholes. almightyseancore 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thesecrets0308 Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 everyone's gonna be so annoyed when the aegea records start arriving and people realize they're just ambient noise. This. It occurred to me to go and try and find a clip somewhere of what kind of music it was after i signed up for the email notifications of the next pressing. I more or less posted that update last night for others that may not have gotten the notification emails. Definitely not going to buy after hearing the clip. I can't get down with ambient noise.

azvd Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 I really wouldn't know what to expect from BC in the ambient territory. His best musicianship was always related to songwriting in a traditional way while seasoning it with something dirty, twisted or unexpected. His ventures into pure ambient or musique concrete might just end up as nothing more than what 99% of musicians into this genre do, coming up with nothing pretty relevant or at least worth of mention. This 2xLP would have convinced me, for the old times, if it cost around $20 but $50 just seems prohibitive based on the perspective of its musical content and the possibility of making a difference in my collection. A CD, on the other hand, I could go along with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoToRoBo Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 The Smashing Pumpkins have announced plans to reissue 2000's MACHINA/The Machines of God. The tracks will be remastered and resequenced into the "original and intended double/triple album sequence," according to the Smashing Pumpkins' website. Cuts from live shows will be a part of the reissue, too. This will better present MACHINA in its intended form "as a theatrical narrative," as Billy Corgan writes on site. It isn't clear if companion album MACHINA II/The Friends and Enemies of Modern Music will also be included in the reissue. "I’m also not opposed to asking current artists to participate, singing songs as such on the compositions meant for other character’s voices," Corgan added. "Finishing what the band started so long ago, and we just didn’t have the strength to end." It's mentioned that Corgan has "designs on commissioning new remixes of all materials as well." A reissue of 1998's Adore is also in the works. In unrelated news, the above image is a fantastic magazine cover starring Corgan and his two cats that's been making the rounds on the internet. Please enjoy it as much as you possibly can. It's the magazine of Chicago no kill animal shelter PAWS Chicago. Corgan's cats, Sammi and Mr. Thom, were adopted from PAWS. -Pitchfork Am I late with this news? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adore just needs to be released so I can move on and just look forward to the next new album, hopefully picking up where Oceania left off. Machina was very meh for me.

thesecrets0308 Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 Machina is maybe possibly my favorite Pumpkins album. The beautiful thing about music is there is no right or wrong when it comes to what people prefer. Siamese Dream is and probably will always be my favorite SP record.

kidamnesiac Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 Am I late with this news? Posted on the previous page, yeah. It was a very strange coincidence for Billy to announce the Machina reissue today, as I felt compelled to spin my copy of the album just last night. I had forgotten how beautiful "With Every Night" is. I don't understand why we are announcing Machina, though, when Adore isn't out yet.
