As you may have heard, most of the recording for Siamese Dream was done
by Billy (drums excluded). His reasoning: "I was obsessed to meet a
standard that was beyond our capability. I was more concerned about
technical efficiency than heart." The MCIS sessions were "a joy,
compared to the tense Siamese Dream recording," and all members worked
collectively.
For information pertaining to when and where particular songs and
albums were recorded, consult the Recording Sessions, by Jesse
Miller (only the mirrors could be located at time of release):
