Beth yw eich barn am 'Adore'?- albym mwy electroneg a llai roc, heb Jimmy Chamberlain. Dwi rioed di clywed o, meddwl fod en bryd i mi wneud.

Be di Machina II?

Mae Adore yn eitha da. Rhai traciau gwych arno fo - To Sheila, Ava Adore, Pug, For Martha, Once Upon A Time, Perfect. Ychydig o filler hefyd...dwi'm yn gwrando arno fo gymaint a'r albums eraill.

Roedd y Pumpkins yn bwriadu rhyddhau Machina II fel eu album olaf, ond doedd y record label ddim yn meddwl fysa unrhywun yn ei brynu neu rwbath. Eitha reit hefyd, achos dydi o ddim yn dda iawn yn fy marn i. Felly fe wnaethon nhw tua 20 - 30 o gopiau a'u rhoi i rai o'u ffans mwyaf, gan ddweud wrthyn nhw wneud copiau i'w ffrindiau a'i roi ar y we. Dwi'm yn siwr lle fedri di ffeindio fo...

Dipyn o hanes yr album o wikipedia . . .

On May 23, 2000 in a live radio interview on KROQ (Los Angeles), Billy Corgan announced the band's decision to break up at the end of that year following additional touring and recording. In a first for an established band, the group's final album, MACHINA II/The Friends & Enemies of Modern Music, was released in September 2000 in a limited pressing on vinyl with permission and instructions for free redistribution on the Internet by fans. Only 25 copies were cut, each of which was hand numbered and given to friends of the band along with band members themselves. The album contained 1 LP and 3 EP's released under the Constantinople Records label, created by Corgan. This is the only Smashing Pumpkins album released that is not under the Virgin Records label. The reason for this decision was that Virgin refused Corgan's request to release a final double album, citing poor sales figures for the last two albums. This, combined with the fact that the band was on the verge of breaking up, and would therefore not perform the kind of extended tour necessary to properly promote a double album, lead Virgin to feel that the double album would simply be a loss on their part.

On August 5, 2005 the Q101 copy (#19) was put up for sale on eBay. The seller decided to end the auction four days early when the bidding had reached $10,000 from a bidder in France. This bidder has since disclosed that there was a mutual agreement after the auction was ended to cancel the sale transaction. It remains to be seen if this copy (or any other) will go up for sale again publicly in the near future, but the episode suggests that an original vinyl copy could fetch a five-figure sum.

& newyddion diweddar . . .

While performing at various 'drum clinics' across Europe in September 2005 Jimmy Chamberlain confirmed that both a reunion tour and a new album are being planned for 2006. Both he and Billy Corgan have committed to the reunion with planning to begin in February 2006. Although, the band has not announced a new bassist or guitarist as of January 2006.

In January 2006, NME.com announced that a reunion is likely to happen and Corgan has set April 30, 2006 at Coachella as a tour date for the band's reunion.

Unrhyw sylwadau am yr albym newydd?

O ni ddim yn siwr o gwbl ar y gwrandawiad cyntaf, ond mae'n tyfu arnaf yn gyflym, er neith o byth fod mor dda ac yr hen sdwff, mae'r cyfuniad o'r hen a steil machina yn dda. Uchafbwyt yw Tarantula, riff gwych a ffwc o corgan solo siamese dream style, a Starz.

Mae'r album yn dda, chwarae teg. Ti'n iawn, mae o'n gwella y mwya ti'n gwrando arno fo. Fy hoff gan ydi Bleeding The Orchid. Wrth fy modd efo United States hefyd - mae Corgan yn gallu sgwennu caneuon epic da iawn, iawn o dro i dro.
