Earphoria
Earphoria is a live album by American alternative rock band The Smashing Pumpkins. It is the soundtrack of the band's "Vieuphoria" video. While the video has been widely available since its initial release, the CD was initially released as a limited number (under 1000) of promo copies in 1994, and was subsequently heavily bootlegged. In 2002, "Vieuphoria" was reissued on DVD and "Earphoria" finally earned a commercial release. The CD contains the audio for all the performances in "Vieuphoria", and includes extended versions of the music used in the video interludes. An exception is the performance of "Silverfuck  – Earphoria" includes the tease of "Over the Rainbow" while "Vieuphoria" edits it out, possibly owing to prohibitive licensing costs. Critical reception. "While a live document of the Pumpkins' farewell tour would have been very palatable," opined "Classic Rock", "this mix-and-match collection of (mainly) live material from the full breadth of their career is far more imaginative. It's also vastly superior to their previous odds-and-sods compilation "Pisces Iscariot"." Track listing. All tracks written by Billy Corgan, except where noted.
