| J-Card Comment | blair's notes ````````````` I had to fix some dead air gaps cause it was annoying the heck out of me, i did NOT take anything of value out. I used a Plextor UltraPlex 40max to extract the audio with EAC v0.9pb6 and did shn conversion with mkwACT v0.97b1 with seek abilities (i love this shn v3) some extra stuff i found on this ```````````````````````````````` Machina II / The Friends & Enemies of Modern Music by The Smashing Pumpkins is a followup to Machina, and the last album from the band. As a final farewell, and a fuck you to a record label that didn't give them the support they deserved, a limited pressing album was made (3x10" + 2LP, 5 discs total) and given away to be bootlegged out among the fans. All tracks are completely new/unheard, except for Real Love, which appears to be the same as the one found on the "Friends & Enemies" 60m cassette>bootleg, and Le Deux Machina, which is the same synth version as found on the acoustic machina demos. Just to clear up any possible confusion, this is the final album from the band. There are only 25 copies. There will NOT be a CD pressing. Numerous scans are included with this release. The 25 copies are on hand-cut, hand-numbered, non-lacquered acetate. The 3 10"s come in plain white sleeves, the 2LP comes in a plain black sleeve with paper pasted to the inside, including "ch5/the story of june (so far)". The discs are labeled with small stickers bearing CR 01 thru CR 04 (CR 04 is the 2LP, w/ sides A-D). more extra stuff ```````````````` The story of MACHINA II/the friends and enemies of modern music: On September 5, 2000, 25 packages were sent out via FedEx containing 1 each of the 3 EPs and the double LP along with the story. There was no record cover, no track listing, no credits, and no other information of any type. The songs were divided into four records; three 10" vinyl acetates and a double 12" acetate. Issued on Constantinople Records (Billy's own label) the records were given catalog numbers of CR-01, CR-02, CR-03 (the 10" EPs), and CR-04 (the double 12" LP). Twenty-five copies of each record were pressed, and stickers identifying each by their catalog number were afixed to each side of each record. The EPs were issued in plain white sleeves, the LPs in plain black. The sleeves were then completely wrapped in clear tape with various designs printed on it. Each of the records featured a different design. |

| Comment | The last ever Pumpkins studio album (before split). Virgin Records wouldn't let them release a second Machina album, so as a way of saying 'Fuck You' to their record company, they pressed 25 copies of the album on vinyl and gave those copies to friends and told them to circulate them. |
