| | Zwan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Djali Zwan, an acoustic incarnation of Zwan, which also featured violinist Anna Lenchantin, was to film and record the making of a new album in the studio in the fall of 2003, with an album and DVD to be issued in early 2004. | | | Corgan spoke with Rolling Stone about his plans: "We're going to do it Let It Be-style," Corgan says, referring to the documentary about the 1970 Beatles album. | | | On April 24, 2005 in the Chicago Tribune, Corgan made further accusations: "The music wasn't the big problem, it was more their attitude...Sex acts between band members in public. |

| | Billy Corgan's solo debut, TheFutureEmbrace, is a difficult listen and will not please the casual listener. | | | Corgan not only returns to the music of his teenage years here, but his dramatic, emotive lyrics, which articulate his feelings far more directly than they have in the past, are terminally adolescent (and seem even more so when printed in the liner notes, where certain phrases are grandly emphasized via all capital letters). | | | Billy Corgan has a mastery of capturing intense underlying emotions with his lyrics. |

| | Corgan shares his Chicago 'snapshots' in solo debut |
| | Lyrically, the 12 songs that Corgan grouped together as "the Chicago set" (which were being recorded and filmed for release as a concert DVD) were mostly impressionistic snapshots of the Windy City taken from different vantage points in history and narrated by a number of alternating voices. | | | In keeping with much of his career, Corgan's premiere performance as a solo acoustic act before a sold-out crowd at Metro on Monday night was a mixture of musical brilliance and bombastic self-indulgence. | | | In his typical fashion, Corgan couldn't just present these songs in the stripped-down manner of, say, a solo acoustic performance by Jeff Tweedy. |

| | Conscious Choice: Billy Corgan
Comes Out of the Dark |
| | Corgan is always talking to God when he plays his guitar or piano, according to Shanahan. | | | Corgan confesses he was in a very lonely, miserable space at the same time that he was being called the new alternative-rock God, and the Pumpkins were exploding onto mainstream charts, selling more than 25 million records. | | | Standing on the brink of his first solo album release, Billy Corgan resembles a modern day character out of a Bronte novel, a Heathcliff for the new millennium: a very pale, very thin, sort of ethereal master of a castle standing outside a dreamy mansion on Lake Michigan. |

| | Billy Corgan concert review, Metro, Chicago, IL April 19th, 2004 |
| | With his trademark shaven head and black attire, Corgan sat down with his acoustic guitar on an oversized red velvet chair amidst a setting that seemed more like his living room than that of a rock stage. | | | Following a planned theme for the night, Corgan unveiled twelve very personal acoustic sonnets that dealt with his ongoing love affair with his hometown, Chicago. | | | That's because the songs "Friends As Lovers" and "El-A-Noy" were previously performed at a handful of live Zwan shows in 2002. |

| | Corganâs next major project, Zwan, was an âall-starâ band comprised of Pumpkin's drummer, Jimmy Chamberlin, guitarist Matt Sweeney (formerly of Chavez and Skunk), guitarist David Pajo (formerly of Slint and Tortoise), and bassist Paz Lenchantin (of A Perfect Circle fame). | | | Billy, whose interest in all things integral is implicit and sometimes explicit in his art, is now working on two solo albums, some cuts of which will first see the light of day on this site, so stay tuned.... | | | One of his first musical influences, however, was his fatherâ”William Corgan Sr.â”who was a professional blues-rock guitarist, and in fact performs on the Smashing Pumpkins song, "The Last Song" (from the CD-single, Thirty-Three). |

| | Corgan's vocals are still a bit nasal, a bit high, but he puts so much passion into his singing that sooner or later you get yanked in. | | | Billy Corgan's best albums are #1- Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness and #2- Siamese Dream. | | | Both albums are good, as in "3.5 stars good", but they lack the edge that we've always been used to in their music, as if a bit of a light has died down in their work. |

| | Billy Corgan: TheFutureEmbrace (2005): Reviews |
| | Corgan finally come out with a great sound with his nasal voice and creates some beautiful atmospheres with an innovative guitar playing. | | | While the lyrics are more introspective and the music more electronic than what we've come to expect from the Pumpkins or his most recent project, Zwan, thankfully Corgan's distinctive vocals and grungy guitar riffs are ubiquitous. | | | Flim-flammy beats, tinny guitars, and Corgan's nasal moan predominate as he mopes like it's 1984 and his mom forgot to renew his Sisters of Mercy fanclub membership. |

| | Billy Corgan: Pitchfork Interview |
| | It's heavily processed, but Corgan's lyrics are as simple and literal as the poetry in his book Blinking With Fists; all the impressionistic musings and parables that made up the bulk of SP lyrics are cleared away for blunt language up in the confessional: "We can change the world," he promises on "All Things Change". | | | The album-- all Billy, all the time-- is cloaked in reverb and flange, a bit industrial and compressed like a smashed aluminum can, blown up again with studio fireworks, dotted with glitch and the occasional ballad. | | | I mean, double albums and concepts and dresses and major disasters and wonderful successes and yet you don't see the critical review of my work. |

| | Corgan was at his best when the synthetic sounds generated by his support musicians took a back seat to his voice and guitar on such tracks as "I'm Ready" and "Now (and Then)." Covers of Iggy and the Stooges' "Johanna" and the Bee Gees' "To Love Somebody" offered mixed results. | | | Chamberlin was the only special guest in the house, and Corgan and company didn't play a Pumpkins song but rather "DIA", another song from his first solo album, "TheFutureEmbrace", the only one to feature two Pumpkins. | | | Musically, Corgan turned to former Filter members, drummer Matt Walker and keyboardist Brian Liesegang, and keyboardist-singer Linda Strawberry for support. |

| | Unfortunately, Billy Corgan's changed a few lives in his time, which makes it difficult for some people (me, at least) to have any sense of the song's musical merits before their brains pavlov. | | | He's dropping the ruse of band co-operation, and, however much it's often untrue, asking us to read his songs to be at least partially autobiographically. | | | The second: Although Pumpkins fans enjoy explaining to their peers how, actually, Corgan recorded most of Siamese Dream himself, etc., The Future Embrace really is his first solo record. |
