How many people have this Cd? It came with the preorder of Machina I believe. I have it, and I don't here people talking about it much.

It has some really good b-sides on it. Including "Hope" which seems to be more unknown.

Who else has this CD?

what's the track order?

Hope
Blissed and Gone
Apathy's Last Kiss
Mayonaise (Acoustic)
Eye

I have heard a little about it, but i down own it, nor do i know anyone else with it.

So was it just like a special eddition thing like judas o?

Ya, I think thats it. I read somewhere that it comes with MACHINA if you preorder it from a certain store. I don't know for sure exactly how where it came from. My dad used to be a Pumpkinhead. He was the one who got me into them. He already had MCIS, Adore, Machina, and Still Becoming Apart. He gave me the CD's and I listened to them and thought "These are amazing". And with that a bought every SP cd and blew money on pointless SP material including two Smashing Pumpkins pillowcases.

Haha, sorry for telling you my story of becoming a SP fan.

To make a long story short, I don't remember how I got the CD, and neither does my dad. So I only know where it came from by the information on it that I gather from the internet.

Given to those that advance purchased the 'Machina/The Machines Of God' album from one of a variety of sources (I believe only in the United States). Included stores are HMV, Best Buy. Pressing quantity is unknown, but IMO it's not a rare item.

Although information says "preorder," I know for a fact that I walked into Best Buy the day Machina came out and it was bundled with the cd.

It's packaged in a cardboard sleeve with photography by Yelena Yemchuk (from the Arising! tour).

It's a neat little compilation, but I think the only thing on here that you can't get anywhere else is hope.

I believe "Blissed and Gone" (Adore bside) was unavailable, and "Apathy's Last Kiss" was only available on the 7" Today single and in the Siamese Singles box set.

I have it. Melikes it

I have it, but didn't pre-order machina. I went to best buy the day it was released and got this little EP bundled in with the album. It's kind of a neat keepsake for the SP collection, but not really anything all that rare in my opinion....maybe 20 years from now it will be a rarity, but right now, not so much.

damn, wish i had gotten it

I got mine with the original Machina purchase at Best Buy. At the time, I actually liked Still Becoming Apart better than Machina! "Blissed" and "Apathy's" are two gorgeous SP tracks!

they are great tracks, but i love machina

UK also, CDPHUT 59. The rest of the info on this board pretty much covers the whole story of Still Becoming Apart. To my humble opinion a sweet little promo, mostly because of the instrumental Hope, an old The Marked track that was re-recorded in 1992 @ Soundworks Studios.

I've got it, I bought it from trademe (new zealand amazon)...it's a cute wee cd for sure...

Sure, here you go:

http://www.spfreaks.com/Default.aspx?page=COLLDETAILS&item=188 (UK version)

Different releasecodes, different matrixcodes. Check the middle pics of both by enlarging them and note the US version only has the Virgin logo and completely different text, while the UK version has both the HUT and Virgin logo. Please don't say I'm trying to hype something here...
