Looks like this band is keeping their fans on tenterhooks!

At long last, their seventh release “Tom Tom” is now available.

I can play the MACHINA II tracks but can't see how to download them. It's probably something obvious but I can't see it ) Anyone else able to download?

Lugh_Chronain Yes I did have a good holiday. Went to Cumbria for a couple of weeks and the weather was actually good! Have you been there?

Jeez if its taken them a year to release 7 tracks then its going to be a long wait before this 44 piece set is complete.

Used to love the Pumpkins but Corgan hasn't really done much hot since Zwan - Zeitgiest was a huge disappointment.

And they are not really the Pumpkins anymore are they without D'arcy, Jimmy or Iha?

Actually that said Tom Tom is pretty good from a first listen.

Have you tried one of the links on the left hand side where it says Play / Download?

Not being a Pumpkins fan I’ve not actually tried downloading MACHINA II. It may be that the tracks aren’t actually set for downloading. Would be a disappointment if that were the case.

Would anyone else who is a Pumpkins fan like to have a go at downloading this. Perhaps you could clarify whether or not MACHINA II is actually available for downloading.

And to answer your question in post #37 Sara yes I've been to Cumbria or better known as The Lake District. Been a long time since I visited there, yeah and it's a really nice place too. Must go back one day as well.

I've just downloaded Machina II. Theres a few different choices of download.

I chose one of the VBR zip files, as I thought (may be wrong) that they might be better quality. I also saved the albums cover art, etc. All works fine.

Thanks, I tried to download a different format as I haven't got the software to unzip it. Do I need it if I download in the VBR zip format?
Glad you like the Lake District, I'm thinking of moving there maybe next year.
