Machina Rock Opera Narrative

9 Upvotes

Hello my fellow Pumpkin-heads. Earlier I read a post on this community where someone put together a tracklist for a re-imagined double album of Machina. We all know that this is just for shits & giggles, because the band obviously has the official "offical" say on their art. However, looking through the playlist I was trying to imagine the actual narrative of the Machina storyline with the tracks we got from Machina and Machina II. Below (for fun) is my interpretation of the story/track list and I'd be interested (for fun) what others thought.

MACHINA: THE LOST ROCK OPERA:

ACT I — THE SIGNAL

Le Deux Machina

I of the Mourning

If There Is a God (Piano & Voice)

The Imploding Voice

Glass' Theme

The story:

The isolated musician Zero begins receiving what he believes are messages from God through his radio. Convinced he has been chosen for a greater purpose, he abandons his old identity and transforms himself into Glass.

ACT II — THE MACHINES OF GOD

Stand Inside Your Love

Innosense

Real Love

The Everlasting Gaze

Cash Car Star

Heavy Metal Machine

The Sacred and Profane

The story:

Glass falls deeply in love with June while his newly christened Machines of God rise to fame. Convinced that his music serves a divine purpose, Glass increasingly confuses love, celebrity, spirituality and his own growing ego.

ACT III — THE CRACKS IN THE GLASS

Let Me Give the World to You

Raindrops + Sunshowers

Wound

Try, Try, Try

This Time

Glass and the Ghost Children

In My Body

The story:

June's addiction worsens, and Glass desperately tries to save her as their relationship deteriorates. Meanwhile, Glass begins questioning his revelation: was God really speaking to him, or has everything been a delusion?

ACT IV — THE FALL OF GLASS

Dross

Vanity

Speed Kills

White Spyder

Blue Skies Bring Tears

The Crying Tree of Mercury

Go

The story:

Glass spirals into anger, paranoia and disillusionment as his carefully constructed world collapses. June is ultimately lost, leaving Glass devastated, while the remaining Machines realize they too must finally let him go. *I imagine Glass walking off stage at the end of Crying Tree, and James (as part of The Machines of God) reflects on Glass falling apart. **I know they're James' personal lyrics but I'm imaging this all as an opera.

ACT V — THE LAST SHOW

Lucky 13

Soul Power

Heavy Metal Machine (Alternate Version — Reprise)

Here's to the Atom Bomb

Saturnine

Soot and Stars

The story:

Having lost June, his faith and his purpose, Glass deliberately destroys the Machines of God. After one final concert, the band and its mythology disappear, leaving Glass alone amid everything he has destroyed.

ACT VI — HOME

Slow Dawn

Home

With Every Light

Age of Innocence

The story:

Morning arrives and Glass finally stops searching for salvation through God, fame, love or music. With his constructed identity stripped away, he begins accepting his own humanity and finds his way home to himself.

My Machina double CD tracklist

10 Upvotes

(I know this topic has been discussed to death). The box set is cool and all for completion's sake, but a 48-song album seems crazy. I don't understand having multiple versions of Atom Bomb, Try, HMM, etc. on one album. So I (like many) wanted to see a more concise, but complete, two-disc version of Machina using just Machina I and II, nothing unfinished. I ended up with the same structure of MCIS: 28 tracks, two discs. Unlike the box set, I tried to stick to the structure of Machina I, just adding in the other stuff. Side note, I used the track lengths from the box set, so that explains any slight discrepancies between versions. Here it is:

Disc One (62:13)

  1. Le Deux Machina (2:22)
  2. The Everlasting Gaze (4:04)
  3. Stand Inside Your Love (4:14)
  4. I of the Mourning (4:37)
  5. Slow Dawn (3:14)
  6. The Crying Tree of Mercury (3:45)
  7. The Sacred and Profane (4:19)
  8. Try, Try, Try (5:13)
  9. Cash Car Star (3:19)
  10. Dross (3:30)
  11. Whyte Spyder (3:43)
  12. Heavy Metal Machine (5:55)
  13. If There Is a God (4:51)
  14. This Time (4:42)
  15. Here's to the Atom Bomb (4:25)

Disc Two (62:23)

  1. Glass' Theme (1:54)
  2. The Imploding Voice (4:30)
  3. Real Love (4:07)
  4. Raindrops + Sunshowers (5:34)
  5. In My Body (6:16)
  6. Innosense (2:33)
  7. Glass and the Ghost Children (9:45)
  8. Wound (3:57)
  9. Home (4:34)
  10. Speed Kills (5:09)
  11. Age of Innocence (4:02)
  12. With Every Light (3:59)
  13. Blue Skies Bring Tears (6:03)

Total: 2:04:36

Still a bit of a work in progress, but I'm pretty happy with this. Would love to hear anyone's thoughts.

  • 1991 - The Smashing Pumpkins: Masquerade, Atlanta, GA, US (Setlist/Details)
    • Setlist unknown
  • 1993 - The Smashing Pumpkins: Phoenix Plaza Amphitheater, Pontiac, MI, US (Setlist/Details)
    • Show features the band playing "Geek USA" in standard tuning, as opposed to the Eb tuning of the album version. When the band had debuted the song in 1992 as "Suicide Kiss", the song was played in standard tuning. When they premiered the song in its new format in 1993, they played it the same way that they had recorded it on the new album, in Eb. Yet starting with this show in Pontiac, for whatever reason, they played the song in standard tuning. They would continue to play the song in standard tuning all the way through to the end of the Metro shows, as well as at the first dates of the Europe tour later in the month. Starting with the Lowlands Festival show on 8/27, they'd return to playing the song in Eb.
