Written by W.P.C.
Except "Go" by JI, "Soul Power" by J. Brown, "Rock On" by D. Essex
Performed by Billy Corgan, Jimmy Chamberlin, James Iha with D'arcy Wretzky, Melissa auf der Maur, and Mike Garson.

All tracks sourced from uncompressed (lossless) files, either the 2000 CD release of "Machina/The Machines of God", the Q101 transfer of the "Machina II" set, or the 2001 CD release of "Rotten Apples"/"Judas 0".

The Machina Mystery continues... This is a revision of my "999" version, with 12 additional tracks, making this a nearly complete version of the entire Machina era. I still omitted 4 redundant alternate versions from Machina 2, and included 3 b-sides from the Judas 0 compilation. Sorry in advance for not including the other versions of Speed Kills and Try, yes, I love them too....

The original Machina releases were compromised by a number of factors - band dysfunction, record company resistance, and a changing alternative-rock marketplace. The first Machina album, while still a very good record, never quite landed in the way the first four Pumpkins albums did. Simply placing it back to back with the Machina II set was unsatisfactory and disjointed.

The solution came to me when I recently viewed the David Lynch film Lost Highway (which coincidentally features the Pumpkins song "Eye"). In that film, the protagonist's real life is dissolving, and about halfway through the film, the perspective shifts into a fantasy version of the same life - new situations, new actors, new characters - without warning. I realized that this was the key to understanding Machina. On one level, it is an autobiographical story that sincerely tells the story of the Pumpkins, their rise and fall, and Corgan, his struggles, his collapsed marriage and new love. On another level, it is a fantasy tale of the Machines of God, of Glass' mission, of the death of June. The fantasy tale, of course, deals allegorically with the real events, but in a dramatized and heightened tone. Once I made this leap, I realized the GATMOG material could be couched within the more realistic, more classic Smashing Pumpkins material, sort of as a mid-album dream sequence.

With this beginning, middle, and end structure, it seemed natural to abandon the double album approach and instead structure the material as three short albums. I spent many months relistening to the material and fine-tuning the sequence. A lot of this came down to an intuitive approach to sequencing built on the emotional subtext of the song, as opposed to attempting to intellectually recreate Corgan's original storyline. The storyline is intrinsic in the material and emerges in a more complex form here.

The truth is, the Machina material is so voluminous and scattered that I doubt anyone, even the band, can create a perfect album out of it. As a fan, this sequence is my favorite yet because it has the "feel" of both a classic Pumpkins album, and an experimental "Machines of God" rock opera, edited in a way that has space for both. Each act is a great listen in its own right, with Act II being a personal favorite because it covers the dark and obscure emotional territory merely hinted at by the released albums. I hope you enjoy this, with the caveat that this is not meant to be "the" definitive album, and that a definitive Machina reissue is coming, from the band themselves, in 2021.
