Pisce's Iscariot |
The brilliance of rockers Smashing Pumpkins continues with
the release of the band's 1994's Pisces Iscariot - now remastered for the first
time. This follows last year’s acclaimed
reissues of the band’s groundbreaking first two albums, Gish (1991) and Siamese
Dream (1993). “A collection of odds and orphans from the dusky realms of
Pumpkinland” is how the band's founding member Billy Corgan describes the CD in
the liner notes penned by David Wild. “Pisces Iscariot was the little mix tape
that went platinum,” writes David. “This unlikely smash album that some came to
mistake for the Pumpkins’ third studio effort even yielded a hit single,
another wonderfully odd moment in the landslide that was the intense early
success story of Smashing Pumpkins.” Featuring the band’s take on the Fleetwood
Mac/Stevie Nicks song “Landslide”, the CD is being released in multiple
configurations: Deluxe Physical Album, which comes with a live DVD and the
first-ever Smashing Pumpkins demo reproduced on cassette, Deluxe Digital, Standard Physical, Digital and
180G Vinyl. The bonus content and special features were curated from the band’s
archives by Billy, and have been painstakingly remastered for the first time
from the original master tapes.
