This is one I wish I never had to do. As a dedicated fan I feel we got stiffed a bit with this one, though I understand the reasoning behind the way this was released. But vinyl? Ugh! Vinyl sucks! Crackling and fuzzies, incorrect frequency responses. The digital world has done away with that. Sure there are other things missing in the digital realm, but most of that is not even audible by over 97% of humans. This sounds so much better than before, a nice clarity and detail to the songs. Things will jump out that you hadn't noticed before. Of course there's a certain gritty brutality to a lot of it as well, thanks to the vinyl. I did my best to balance a regain of high-end while retaining a lisentable quality. Wasn't easy, but I think it came out decently. And in my opinion, you'll see that some of the better material was left off of M1. Some of this just rocks you to your bones. And you'll never hear James Browns' "Soul Power" like this anywhere else.

| 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. |
