Andy: Обсуждаем альбом.
Ziggy Pop: Andy пишет: Эт само собой. Хотя не так уж и мало. скажу иначе - для меня не очень много, имхо. Имею в виду ту музыку, которая останется вместе с тобой надолго. Хотя это уже вопрос времени и внутреннего личностного роста. возвращаясь к теме Машины скажу лишь, что это, пожалуй, самй светлый и добрый альбом Коргана, самый романтичный.
Ziggy Pop: из архивов 10-летней давности: February Machina/the Machines of God is finally released Feb. 29, and lands No. 3 on the Billboard charts. To drum up support for the album, the band has spent the rest of the month on the "Resume the Pose" tour, consisting of in-store performances and autograph signings. Other band news takes place in the courtroom, as former bassist D'arcy is ordered to attend drug abuse prevention classes, and the band sues former manager Sharon Osbourne, who left in January. 2000/02/29 The Smashing Pumpkins' fifth album, Machina/the Machines of God, is formally released today, although an early mix of the final album had been leaked online in late January. The album will debut at No. 3 on the Billboard charts the following week. The album has many promotional tie-ins, as a special 5-track EP comes with purchases from Best Buy in the United States and HMV in Canada. Other independent stores are given a separate 7-track EP to release along with the album, while mainstream stores like Circuit City and Sam Goody hand out free lithographs of the artwork from the album with purchases of Machina.
Ziggy Pop: Василий Кафанов об оформлении Машины: One day in the late 1990s, a couple of very strange characters wandered into a gallery where I had my show. It was in the summer, and it was very hot. They liked my paintings and they bought quite a few of them. One of them introduced himself as Billy Corgan and said he was a musician. His name meant nothing to me. I offered to help him hang the paintings he had just bought. Along the way, we started talking about alchemy and ancient manuscripts, and I said that I was working on a series of paintings on that subject. At home I told my daughter about those musicians, and she promptly produced a popular magazine with a picture of the lead singer of the Smashing Pumpkins Billy Corgan. That same evening I saw him on TV in a popular program. Approximately a year later, Billy Cognan asked me to work on his new album. I did approximately 20 paintings for the album, as well as a number of prints. Billy liked them and he even decided to issue a larger album with illustrations and his own text on parchment-colored paper. In my opinion, it turned out very well. In addition, I designed stage sets for his concerts when the band began a worldwide tour. Billy had said that the band would break up, and it soon did. However, it has since reconstituted itself with new members and plays different music. Alchemy, the subject which I shared with Billy Cognan, has always been a strong interest of mine. More precisely, not alchemy itself but its artistic representation in ancient books and in paintings by Hieronymus Bosch and Pieter Bruegel. I painted a series of works about alchemy while working on the Smashing Pumpkins album. They are done in dark tones and are full of symbolism that will remain mysterious not only to the contemporary viewer but to me, as well. To be honest, reading literature on alchemy is akin to studying Cabbala without knowing Hebrew. What I mean is that my alchemy is purely decorative. The same can be said about various other symbolism. I very much like to return to them again and again. I am particularly fond of Asian motifs, as well as Buddhist ones. I often turn to the figure of Buddha. By the way, a fish is one of Buddha’s incarnations. 2000 Solo show in Grant Gallery, New York. The SVG Collection. Nantucket, MA Solo show in Broome Street Gallery, New York. Art Project for THE SMASHING PUMPKINS The album was nominated for a 2001 Grammy for Best Recording Package
Andy: Ziggy Pop пишет: my alchemy is purely decorative А как насчет Коргана?
Ziggy Pop: Andy I don't know, ask him) на виниле надо оттопырить Машину, вот там оформление как надо, на диске все эти замечательные картины слишком малы
Ziggy Pop: MACHINA/The Machines of God (2000) What the hell is this album about? It’s a concept album if there ever was one, but Corgan didn’t stick around long enough to explain what the heck he was aiming for. Perhaps its better that way (perhaps). The album art included with this release is gorgeous and thought-provoking, as is the music. Again, not as cataclysmic as their previous chart-toppers, MACHINA/The Machines of God saw the departure of bassist D’Arcy Wretzky and the introduction of her replacement, former Hole bassist Melissa Auf der Maur. With this album Corgan also decided to end the Pumpkins. A good, mysterious album to end with, MACHINA will always sound a bit crazy and it will be interesting to see how they patch up the gap between this 2000 release and the coming 2007 one. Track Picks: “The Everlasting Gaze,” “Heavy Metal Machine,” “Raindrops + Sunshowers,” “I Of The Mourning.”

Ziggy Pop: The Smashing Pumpkins Machina Live (aka SNL'S TREASURE TROVE OF NUGGS VOLUME 3:TODAY IS THE GREATEST MACHINES OF GOD) I saw The Smashing Pumpkins on the Sacred + Profane Tour in 2000. I’m saddened to say my impressions of that show were verified by all the bootlegs I had heard later on from that tour: the decline of The Smashing Pumpkins. The mix was muddy, the performances sloppy and rather uninspired and a poor translation of the Machina material from the album to the stage. Later in the tour, Mike Garson’s inappropriate meanderings on the few songs that did translate just made matters worse. I was honestly not surprised that The Smashing Pumpkins broke up at the end of the year, as The Sacred and Profane Tour was simply the sound of a great band dying. But it was not a traumatic, explosive suicide; they went quietly in their sleep. A once fiercely speeding train simply came to a stop so the four passengers could exit and head home. But in making this compilation (as I had done with the Adore album), I now realize that I was wrong: there were diamonds in the rough. Even though there was a lot of rough, these diamonds I have assembled certainly do shine brightly, as you can hear for yourself. The Smashing Pumpkins’ magic was still present all along, only illusive through the circumstances of the Machina album and tour. If the cards had fallen in a different way, who knows how long they could have lasted? This is a compilation of live recordings mostly from The Smashing Pumpkins’ 2000 tour, structured to create a live version of the Machina albums in their entirety. Nearly all the sources used are soundboard recordings (when available) and none of the sources have been “mastered” by fans. All songs have been volume adjusted and crossfaded to give the impression of a continuous performance in two segments: disc one is the Machina I album in its entirety and disc two is all of the songs from Machina II that were ever performed by the band (ranging from 1999-2007). If you are tired of the production techniques on the Machina album and thirst for a more clearer and a more “meat & potatoes” live-band-sounding recording, then this compilation is for you! I chose to utilize the best possible soundquality for this compilation. Thus the core material for my compilation is the number of soundboard recordings taped by Eric Agnew. This is the case for most of disc one, with the exception of three songs being audience-sourced, one being TV-sourced and one being a matrix of a TV and an audience source I created myself. By necessity, disc two is split 50/50 between soundboard and audience-sourced material. And as suggested above, ABSOLUTELY NO THIR13EN REMASTERS WERE USED IN THE MAKING OF THIS COMPILATION. If you want absurdly brickwalled “mastering” of already over-compressed FM-sources, you won’t find it here. Disc One - The Machines of God [75:40] 01. The Everlasting Gaze 02.
