to all the audiophiles

I came across some music some of you will be interested in. In 2000 the Smashing Pumpkins released what was supposed to be their final record for free. There were only 25 copies on vinyl but those who received them were instructed to distribute copies freely to the public. The album is called MACHINA II/The Friends & Enemies of Modern Music and was initially meant to be part of a double album with the first MACHINA but Virgin refused to release it due to lackluster sales. For more info on the record go here.

For a complete download of the highest quality MP3s available of the record go here. (320 kbit/s transfered on high end audio equipment at Q101 in Chicago). Keep in mind that these were ripped from vinyl so there is some hiss, but it was a labour of love so it sounds about as good as possible, and is from a reputable website.
