Mareede:
I present to you all my Smashing Pumpkins bootleg mix for download, titled “Arcane Night Music”. The title comes from the band’s description of Adore before its release. The mix is 8 years in the making, as I had to track down all of the best sources of this stuff and wait out the reissues (which took like 1/3 of my original tracklist). Though the reissues are not done, I doubt they’ll use much of what I’ve included here. All of this stuff is extremely high quality; most of it is studio or soundboard quality, with very few audience recordings used (and those I do use are all excellent). I tried to represent every era of the band, from the pre-Gish era to the final tour. The earliest track used is a 1988 demo of “I Fall”, a song so old it pre-dates Jimmy Chamberlin’s entry into the band. The latest tracks, chronologically, are the last two songs in the main set from their final arena show (and second to last show ever) in Chicago. Overall it’s a comprehensive look at one of the best, and most misunderstood, bands of the 90s. I didn’t bother with post-reunion material because there’s so much of it and most of it isn’t that great. I just wanted to focus on the good stuff – which is also why there’s a bonus disc of material that didn’t fit onto the other discs.

I’d love this to be ratio-free, if at all possible.

  20. I am so psyched to see this page! I could not have stumbled upon anything greater than this to end the week apreesh of the 20th anniversary week of the original lineup’s first step onto the stage and begin a span of music so influential, far from repeatable, brilliant career that will never be forgotten. The day they join the legends of musical achievement in the pyramid building in Cleveland, Ohio, I will make any sacrifice to witness and be so thankful that I had the privilege to grow up with each album until the unfortunate end. I will also commemorate this week with the heart logo permanently behind my ear. Please share the link!

  40. This looks like an amazing mix – will probably sit along side Mashed Potatoes as the most essential un-official SP box I own… Can’t wait!
