Machina II/The Friends & Enemies of Modern Music
''Machina II/The Friends & Enemies of Modern Music'' is the sixth album by American alternative rock band The Smashing Pumpkins. It was released for free on the Internet on September 5, 2000. Plans for a standard physical release, bundled with the first part ''Machina/The Machines of God'', were revealed to happen sometime in 2013, but has since been postponed to 2015.
The album itself, a double LP, was packaged with three EPs full of B-sides and alternate versions. Both ''Machina'' albums are loose concept albums telling the story of "a rock star gone mad".〔 ''Machina II'' was the last Smashing Pumpkins studio album until the band reformed in 2007.
==Background==
Near the conclusion of the ''Machina'' sessions, it was Billy Corgan's wish to release a double album of material, but Virgin Records was unwilling to do that following the disappointing sales of ''Adore''. After the release and poor sales of the single-disc ''Machina/The Machines of God'', Corgan then wanted to release the second ''Machina'' album separately, but Virgin declined to do this as well. The band nonetheless returned to the Chicago Recording Company in July 2000 to finish what would become ''Machina II/The Friends & Enemies of Modern Music'', which was subsequently released on Corgan's own label Constantinople Records. Only twenty-five copies were made, and were given mostly to friends of the band in addition to radio station Q101. A few of the 25 copies were purposely shipped to prominent fans in the online community, with instructions to immediately redistribute it on the Internet free of charge.〔
