Fantastic addition to my pumpkins collection

Fantastic addition to my pumpkins collection. Good to see the first incarnation as a goth/new wave/alternative band that morphed into the dream rock of Siamese dream before going off kilter with Mellon Collie.

The sign of a great band

14 July 2011

Format: Audio CDVerified Purchase

I think it was possibly John Peel who once said that the sign of a great band are 2 things: how they play live and how good their b-sides are. I unfortunately cannot vouch for the former but, with Pices Iscariot, I can wholeheartedly agree with the latter. This is a collection of b-sides and unreleases material that spanned their career at the time. The strange thing is that it all works so perfectly as a collection of tracks in its own right and also sounds completely different from any other SP release.

I would urge any fan or newcomer to the band to add this as an essential part of their back catalogue as it is that good. It all kicks off with one of the most mellow and beautiful songs ever, 'Soothe', which then is followed by more of a party tune in 'Frail & Bedazzled', both excellent pieces of music. 'Plume' is down-tuned genius and 'Whir' and 'Blew Away' are the sort of top-notch ballads that SP can just DO. 'Pissant' and 'Hello Kitty Kat' are ok but a bit on the throwaway side, more punky and raw with no real tune. 'Obscured' is another phenomenal soundscape that evokes dreams of flying and the Fleetwood Mac cover, 'Landslide' fits perfectly into the preceedings. It's also an awesome cover. The 4 tracks that follow are a bit hit and miss. 'Starla' is good but at 11 minutes plus it does ramble somewhat. 'Blue' is another ok track but doesn't inspire as much as the others. The Animals' cover feels slightly out of place. And 'La Dolly Vita' finish things off in true alternative style.

Not perfect but the majority of tracks are of such a high quality that it doesn't matter about the ones that don't work. Essential.

A collection of gems that might have never been released.

13 June 2001

Format: Vinyl

Pisces Iscariot is an amazing compliation of rare demos from the early days, material omitted from previous albums, live recordings from the BBC and new material. We open with Soothe, a personal track written by a teenage Billy Corgan in a squalid apartment and dug up for this album, full of meaning and acoustic brilliance. Frail and Bedazzled follows which was also written in a garage/apartment and is a mellow, but powerful rock song, typical of the Pumpkins. Plume is up next and was written in the same said apartment, with the lyrics thought up by Billy whilst waiting at an airport. This track is slow and mellow but in time the guitar riffs begin to peel off nicely. Whir then kicks off the nice happy, melodic, passive feel that the album carries on with several other tracks like Blew Away (with James on vocals), Spaced, Obscured and La Dolly Vita, tracks which Billy himself describes as "Frail and gentle". Pissant adds aggressive, growling, hard rock to the album, much in the style of Zero and is followed nicely by Hello Kitty Kat, a track which Billy reluctantly ommitted from Siamese Dream, and this is a pounding, driving rock track with solos to die for and layer upon layer of sound. Billy covers Stevie Nick's Landslide in a live recording at the BBC with John Peel for Radio 1, and is a romantic, tender and beautifal acoustic masterpiece. Also at the BBC was recorded was A Girl Named Sandoz, like Plume it is a slow but powerful rock track with heavy but slow paced riffs, once the slightly trippy Spaced has finished the album you get an overall package of excellence that represents the Pumpkins from their teenage angst years to the Siamese Dream era, and is a diverse collection of music and an essential album for anyone's collection.

B-sides!!!? (it shows how good 'Siamese Dream' was)

9 April 2001

Format: Audio CD

There's nothing quite like Billy Corgan! Here is a man with such song-writing talents that he is able to release 'frail and bedazzled' on a collection of b-sides. Nine times out of ten when a band releases a collection like this between albums the contents are embarrassing, but not in this case. If you aren't won over by the sheer elegant beauty of 'soothe' then, quite simply, the Smashing Pumpkins can never be the band for you. James Iha gets his chance on 'blew away' and, surprisingly, creates a song worthy of the great man himself and even adds something to the mix by singing it himself in his soft, hypnotic way. The only criticism would be as to why some these tear-inducing songs didn't find their way onto any of the pumpkin's five albums. Oh well, there's a perfectionist eccentric for you. A stormingly understated album.

Birthday present for niece.

One of the beter albums, from the masters of heartbreak & missery. From the 1990's when music still had a heartbeat. A must for anyone with a broken heart.

Great album. Noticable improvement in quality.

Apart from being a great album, the box set provides a great insight into the Pumpkins. Complete with notes on each track by Billy, it's an essential and rewarding purchase.

Most bands with genuine rock creation going on end up with some B-sides, and the Smashing Pumpkins were no exception.Read more
