This fall, EMI music will honor The Smashing Pumpkins by reissuing the band’s albums from 1991-2000 as fully remastered deluxe versions with bonus material.
This effort will begin with the band’s 1991 debut album Gish, 1993’s Siamese Dream, and 1994’s Pisces Iscariot.
The excitement will continue into 2012 when EMI will reissue 1995’s nine-times-platinum double album Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness, 1996’s five-disc box set The Aeroplane Flies High and 1998’s Adore.
In 2013, the band’s 2000 albums,Machina/The Machines of God and Machina II: The Friends and Enemies of Modern Music, will be reissued in one package.
The Smashing Pumpkins have also announced they will head into the studio in May to record a new album to be titled Oceania, which will be part of their 44-song work Teargarden by Kaleidyscope. Nine songs from the album have already been released online, but ten new songs will be released in September.
The band is considering a possible return to the road in August, but, in the meantime, will release one new song from Teargarden by Kaleidyscope, “Otwata” next week.
