		Billy Corgan sounded happy, relaxed, and refreshed on Mary Star of the Sea, the 2003 debut from his first post-Smashing Pumpkins project, Zwan, which just goes to show that art doesn't always reflect the mindset of the artist.
		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).
		Corgan's exploring his own little world, one that may have a more selective appeal than either Smashing Pumpkins or Zwan, but will nevertheless resonate to those who bother to regularly check in on his space on myspace.

	The Future Embrace Review \| Billy Corgan \| Reviews @ Ultimate-Guitar.Com
		Billy Corgan enters a different territory with "The Future Embrace." The only previous work of his, that even relates to this disc at all, is 1998's "Adore," by The Smashing Pumpkins.
		Corgan was influenced by the new wave and electronic sounds of the 80's, while writing this record.
		Billy's vocalization on this record, are very crisp and clear, like so on Zwan's album.

		Corgan's admiral influences are obvious - the grey wash and wintry equanimity of Bowie's Neukoln phase, the phallanx of distantly shimmering flanged guitars recall The Banshees, the archaic and relentlessly mechanic drum machine summons forth the austerity of early Human League.
		Corgan clearly loves the British new-wave movement, drafting in the cold dissonant synths of the Mode, the bleak and fragmented lyrics of Station to Station/Heroes era Bowie, the cold delivery of Ian Curtis, and the fuzzy guitars and the air of overblown melodrama favoured by The Cure.
		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: Yeah we've sort of, you know, we thought about telling people right when the album was gonna come out, but then we thought then that it would just be all about that and not about the music and not about the album.
		Billy: And, and um, it just sort of, you know, just sort of got to finish a vocal here and there but um you know there was no way we were going to sort of put ourselves through the double CD thing again.
		Billy: Um, I don't know there's so many great bands, um that are out there right now, and, and bands that are still going from, you know, 'Gen X', whether it's nine inch nails or, or Pearl Jam, so you know I wouldn't take that much credit.

	Cokemachineglow.com - Billy Corgan: TheFutureEmbrace
		Billy Corgan recently gave an interesting explanation for The Smashing Pumpkins’ seemingly lagging critical reputation: he blamed himself.
		Corgan’s decision to eschew his famous guitar sound isn’t without antecedent: the easiest comparison is to the willfully difficult Adore (an album which I am willing to, and probably one day will, take to the mat).
		Billy Corgan is a man who desperately wants to say something, in spite of or maybe because of the fact that he has nothing to say.

	TheFutureEmbrace - Billy Corgan - BlamoNet.com
		In the 90's, when you thought of Billy Corgan, the last word that popped into your mind was "average." Billy was not someone to be taken lightly.
		Billy Corgan, feeling the pressure, glued a smile onto his face and let it be known that everything was indeed all right.
		At First Listen, you have the feeling that this Billy Corgan solo album was recorded some 7 or 8 years ago at the time the Smashing Pumpkins were together and the songs here were adore demos that weren't quite "Adoreish" enough, so they were cut.

		Billy Corgan, alternative rock's crown prince, interviews hard rock's reigning king, Eddie Van Halen, in part one of a special two-part cover story.
		BILLY CORGAN: What stikes me about your Sammy Hagar-era albums was that there was a slow but distinct movement away from the kinetic approach of the early albums to a more song-oriented focus.
		CORGAN: But I think that's the way a band should be constructed-the core of a band should be built on the relationship between the guitarist and the drummer.

	Billy Corgan: TheFutureEmbrace (2005): Reviews
		Corgan is slowly swamped by the style he's adopted.
		We're left with the immutable Corgan sans ambition: his narrow whine, melodies not quite predictable but dull anyway and a misty worldview with collegiate airs.
		It sounds like Corgan wanted to make a classic eighties 4AD-style shoegazing record, but instead of offering us something swirling and beautiful, we end up with an experience that is simply flat and grey.

	Billy Corgan (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Midway through Billy Corgan's hour-plus set Tuesday at the Henry Fonda Theatre, the former Smashing Pumpkins leader introduced "special guest" drummer Jimmy Chamberlin as "formerly and presently of Smashing Pumpkins." The crowd went wild, with enough camera phones snapping pictures to replicate a T-Mobile commercial.
		Corgan, whose Smashing Pumpkins managed to create some of the most memorable and commercially successful rock of the 1990s, seems to be at a crossroads.
		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.

	Billy Corgan @ The Mirabeau Room :: Mon, October 25
		Billy adds a contemporary, alternative voice to an overall program that has published a broad range of poets, from the likes of Siegfried Sassoon and Robert Pinsky to Gary Snyder and August Kleinzahler.
		With Billy's work, we'll be able to reach out to an entirely new audience while expanding the parameters of the genre itself.” Corgan’s poetic voice emerges from the same place as the lyrics he has written in the past, the same heart and soul.
		Corgan has already shared his poetry with a sold out audience in his native Chicago where he performed at the Poetry Center of Chicago’s 31st annual reading series and received a standing ovation from the crowd.

	CNN.com - Corgan: Pumpkins' breakup was Iha's fault - Feb. 19, 2004
		Corgan said he regrets initially blaming the split on "fighting the good fight against the Britneys of the world." "By saying that, I was seen as someone who was crying foul, taking his ball and going home, which was sad, 'cause it wasn't true at all," he continued.
		Corgan was particularly saddened after Iha left the band's final show at Chicago's Cabaret Metro on December 2, 2000, "without saying goodbye to the two people he had won and lost and traveled the world with.
		Corgan is working on his debut Warner Bros. solo album following the dissolution of his post-Pumpkins band, Zwan.

	Billy Corgan : interview
		After the conclusion of The Smashing Pumpkins, the collapse of Zwan and the publication of a volume of poetry, Billy Corgan has attempted another reinvention - as a solo artist.
		Billy Corgan made a bet with me that he would never reform the Smashing Pumpkins again, replying with a hesitant "No." That was just a few weeks before taking out a full-page ad in a major Chicago daily and explaining his reasons as to why he had decided to reform the band (flagging record sales?).
		So basically, Billy Corgan wants to give credit where credit is due, except that we all seem to equate the Smashing Pumpkins with him.

	TheFutureEmbrace by Billy Corgan CD
		THE FUTURE EMBRACE may theoretically be Billy Corgan's debut solo project, but many would contend the lion's share of Smashing Pumpkins and Zwan material was essentially Corgan (as a solo artist) existing within a band unit.
		Corgan has a great voice, but where is his backup, as in "band" I mean.
		The thing I Love about Billy Corgan is his powerful, in your face voice, and I believe that is lacking in the worst way here.

	Billy Corgan - Biography - AOL Music
		As the guitarist/singer/head-songwriter for the Smashing Pumpkins, Billy Corgan was one of alt-rock's leaders and focal points for much of the '90s.
		After his parents divorced at an early age, Corgan moved from one relative to the next, and by age 14, he began playing guitar himself (citing such hard rock bands as Cheap Trick and Van Halen as important early influences).
		After the Pumpkins split in 2000, many assumed Corgan would automatically pursue a solo career, but shortly after playing several shows with New Order as a sideman/guitarist in the summer of 2001, Corgan announced his next project would be a new band.

		Here’s a point on which Corgan’s already got a head-start, since throughout his career he’s almost become as well-known for his venomous rants as for his music.
		This attitude fuels Corgan’s disgust with the music industry, whose capitalist machinations he seems to disdain as much as he does the money-phobic underground.
		Corgan is reluctant to play a role in this game, brushing aside questions about sales and promotions by saying, “I’m not a marketing vision.
