I've read that Boris isn't actually popular in Japan. They're one of those enigmas that are far more popular in North America.

Our local band "Alphaville" once was big in Japan too.
My sister had to stop making jokes about the singers face acne not to get death threats...

Sick of these reissues.

Who in gods name wants rrmixes of shitty songs like raindrops?

Theres plenty of machina acoustic semos and live versions on the net.
So same with adore or sd or mc: there werent a lot newer or even unknown versions on the reissues.

Someone interested knows the stuff already.
Honestly i dont give a fuck about a live version from 2000 or some remix of I of the mourning.

Please billy use your time to write good songs instead and get another producer

You're welcome you bolly follower.
Buy some zu zu tea, buy a billy candle for christmas, and get the reissue for 150 bucks
Oh: what about purchasing obelsisks or buy all zeitgeist releases.

I think that some are desperately waiting for the reissues cause billy hasntgiven them a good album in the last 18 years.

And dont forget to read his poems

I could live without early run-throughs or live versions but unless you just don't like the Machina period albums I have no idea how you don't see this reissue as the only one that was actually needed.

Just put together 12 unreleased Machina era tracks and be fucking done with it.

For fucks sake.. nobody cares about 2018 remixes, boring live versions, and different takes of the same song.

Has Billy ever given a definitive version of why he thinks Machina was a relative flop?

I mean "the fans didn't get it" and "vastly disappointed" are descriptions of fan reaction.

Yeah Virgin wouldn't back it as a double album but surely his choice of song selection and the production / mixing were the biggest impediments? That's down to Billy and to a lesser extent Flood. They had well over 30 songs that were fully formed, so it's curious why many of the 15 that made the final cut were deemed superior to those that ended up on MII. Also, the decision to slather the album in - what exactly I'm not sure but it's there and is detrimental.

With better song selection and choices in the studio surely Machina would have done at least as well as Adore?
