Ahoy!

Finally got my Smashing Pumpkins Siamese Dream box set (SPBOX1) limited to 6000 copies worldwide! Also got the Jane's Addiction Ritual De Lo Habitual vinyl (25993-1) from Florida.

Ritual De Lo Habitual is of course one of those album that no matter how many times you listen to it, you will always find something new and interesting and never grow tired of it. Released on Warner Records a couple of months before the band called it's quits, this is the absolute crescendo of the eighties!

The Siamese Singles on the other hand contains a small collection of great never before released songs collected on the 7" singles of the Siamese Dream album released in October ,1994. Smashing Pumpkins strenght have always been their b-sides in my personal opinion, and here they really show why. Songs as Apathy's Last Kiss, Purr Snickety (misspelled as "Purr Snikety" on the box) and their cover version of Depeche Mode's Never Let Me Down Again (originally released on the 1994 Depeche Mode tribute album "Music For The Masses") are simply breathtaking.
