The most original band of the last 20 years is back, after a seven-year hiatus, they just performed a come back show in Paris. This is the resurrection of the band that died for rock and roll. Hears to you the smashing pumpkins!
The departure of the band was a little sample of the mayhem that surrounds their entire career, during the 11 eleven years they were together. Amidst all the fight between members, problems with their record label and plastic music rocketing the charts, they managed to release a conceptual album, a double album for free on the internet and perform a 4 hours farewell-show.
Now they are back and better than ever! The few songs I’ve heard made me comeback to the first time I heard then back in 96. A light and shade battle for the real meaning of live, a never ending experimentation of sounds, and a sad machine that never give in “because when you give in, then you give up”.
Hear a little sample of what I am talking about (live and demo version of the songs)
Gossamer
Tarantula
Their 7th album will be released in July 2007 and will be called Zeitgeist (Ghost of time in German). Certainly I will get myself one more chapter of this fantastic story.
