The band took a break from recording in April 1999 to embark on the Arising! tour, which took the band to nine small clubs. | The band took a break from recording in April 1999 to embark on the Arising! tour, which took the band to nine small clubs. After the tour's conclusion, the bass guitarist, [[D'arcy Wretzky]], left the band, leaving the rest of them in a difficult position. Corgan later said, "This put a stress obviously on the full integrity of the project, because it was connected to the band not only bringing the music to fruition fully, but also the public component of being in character. I ended up in a broken band with a half-ass enthusiasm towards finishing a project already started."<ref>[http://hipstersunited.wordpress.com/2008/09/12/ch6the-story-of-machina-so-what-could-i-do-but-try-to-finish/] Archive of [http://www.smashingpumpkins.com/news_9270]{{dead link|date=January 2018 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}.

*"Speed Kills" is not the ''[[Machina II/The Friends & Enemies of Modern Music]]'' version, but the version that appears on the "[[Stand Inside Your Love]]" single truncated by two minutes with a fadeout. The last four tracks are resequenced. One early release of the album often referred to as the "premaster" has an extended version of "The Sacred and Profane" with two bars of electronic drum beat at the beginning of the song, electric guitar instead of acoustic in "Age of Innocence", "The Crying Tree of Mercury" titled "The Mercury Tree", and a different, more lo-fi mix overall.<ref>{{cite web |title=spfreaks.com/item/machina-the-machines-of-god-171/ |url=http://spfreaks.com/item/machina-the-machines-of-god-171/ |website=SPfreaks |accessdate=3 February 2019}}</ref> | *"Speed Kills" is not the ''[[Machina II/The Friends & Enemies of Modern Music]]'' version, but the version that appears on the "[[Stand Inside Your Love]]" single truncated by two minutes with a fadeout.
