Stigmata is a 1999 horror film for which Billy Corgan co-wrote the original score with pianist Mike Garson. All songs are instrumental except for "Identify", which is sung by Natalie Imbruglia. A Flood-produced demo of "Identify" with Corgan singing exists and is slated to be on the Machina reissue.[1]
In total, Corgan and Garson wrote and recorded more than 40 minutes of music for the film. Engineer Chris Steinmetz stated the material most closely resembled Adore-era Smashing Pumpkins, and described it as powerful and evocative. "[The score is] very atmospheric, but it has a lot of energy and power. It had a lot of cool drum loops and aggressive, original sounds."[2]
“ | Mike Garson and I set out trying to make music that did not rely on well-worn movie clichés to support the movie, and also to make music that would hopefully stand up on its own without the movie. | ” |
— Billy Corgan, MTV News[2] |
Other artist featured on the soundtrack include David Bowie, Chumbawamba and Massive Attack.
