Поскольку альбом официально так никогда и не был реализован для продажи, и существует только в виде нескольких копий на виниле, крайне важно, на мой взгляд, ознакомиться с историей его создания и структурой:
History
Near the conclusion of the Machina sessions, it was Billy Corgan's wish to release a double album of material, but Virgin Records was unwilling to do that following the disappointing sales of Adore. After the release and poor sales of the single-disc Machina/The Machines of God, Corgan then wanted to release a second Machina album separately, but Virgin declined to do this as well. The band nonetheless returned to the Chicago Recording Company in July 2000 to finish what would become Machina II/The Friends & Enemies of Modern Music, which was subsequently released on Corgan's own label Constantinople Records. Only twenty-five copies were made, and were given mostly to friends of the band. A few of the 25 copies were purposely shipped to prominent fans in the online community, with instructions to immediately redistribute it on the Internet free of charge.
About album
Machina II/The Friends & Enemies of Modern Music is the sixth studio album by American alternative rock band The Smashing Pumpkins. It was released for free on the Internet on September 5, 2000. A sequel to Machina/The Machines of God, it has thus far not had a commercial release. The album itself, a double LP, was packaged with three EPs full of B-sides and alternate versions.[1] Both Machina albums are loose concept albums telling the story of "a rock star gone mad."[1] Machina II was the last Smashing Pumpkins studio album until the band reformed in 2007.
About album's structure
The two-LP set is the album itself. Corgan has said that the three EPs are "technically the B-sides."[5] CR-01, CR-02, etc. all refer to their released on Constantinople Records (Constantinople Records-Released 1, etc). The only other Constantinople release, CR-05, was Live at Cabaret Metro 10-5-88, a gift given to fans exiting their farewell concert at the Cabaret Metro. The song "Let Me Give the World to You", originally written and recorded for Adore, would have been considered for a single, had the album seen an official release.[citation needed] The original, as-yet-unsurfaced version, was produced by Rick Rubin.
Q101 transfer (версия, представленная в раздаче):
As mentioned above, the radio station Q101 received one of the 25 vinyl copies. It was subsequently transferred to two CDs by the station (one CD containing the EP tracks and one containing the LP tracks). The transfer was done by a high profile radio station (presumably with high-end equipment and professional oversight) and spectral analysis shows the transfer to be of good quality. Copies were given away as prizes from the station.
