The story of MACHINA II/the friends and enemies of modern music:
On September 5, 2000, 25 packages were sent out via FedEx containing 1 each of the 3 EPs and the double LP along with the story. There was no record cover, no track listing, no credits, and no other information of any type.

The songs were divided into four records; three 10" vinyl acetates and a double 12" acetate. Issued on Constantinople Records (Billy's own label) the records were given catalog numbers of CR-01, CR-02, CR-03 (the 10" EPs), and CR-04 (the double 12" LP). Twenty-five copies of each record were pressed, and stickers identifying each by their catalog number were afixed to each side of each record. The EPs were issued in plain white sleeves, the LPs in plain black. The sleeves were then completely wrapped in clear tape with various designs printed on it. Each of the records featured a different design.
