When we chatted with Billy Corgan, over a decade ago, the Smashing Pumpkins’ about the reissue of 1998’s Adore, he mentioned that he had started working on a reissue for Machina I and Machina II. “The record was written as a pseudo-rock-opera type deal, and when the band completely fell apart in the middle, the album never really got finished in the way I’d written it, so I view it as kind of an unfinished album,” he told Ryan Leas in 2014. Now, it seems Corgan stuck to his word and both reissues will see the light of day.
