The Imploding Voice

The Imploding Voice is a song from The Smashing Pumpkins' fifth studio album, Machina/The Machines of God. Prior to the release of the album, the song was once performed live in Atlanta on April 1999, under the title "Virex". This was later reworked during the Machina sessions into the variant you hear today.

Like the rest of Machina, the studio recording used analog equipment. This song in particular reprocessed guitar parts with effects, and blended it with the original signal at a 75/25% ratio, respectively.
