Aloha Milkyway is a compilation album by the Philippine alternative rock band Eraserheads. It was released on August 12, 1998 under BMG Records (Pilipinas), Inc. in Southeast Asian territories and in the Philippines on October 14.
The album features the promotional singles “Julie Tearjerky”, “Tamagotchi Baby”, and "With a Smile" from the band's 1994 album Circus.
Content
The album contains five new tracks. Lead single “Julie Tearjerky” charted at number one in South Korea, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan, and Indonesia.[1] Oh, Flamingo! later covered the song in 2019 for Pop Machine the Album.[2] The band first performed “Tamagotchi Baby” at the Asia Live Dream '98 for NHK in Tokyo, Japan, where they sang it as “Tama Sushi Baby” to avoid broadcasting issues with the Tamagotchi digital pet brand.[3] "Scorpio Rising" was re-recorded from the Pop-U! demo tape. “Small Room” is an instrumental filler by Marasigan that samples several Eraserheads songs.[4]
Aloha Milkyway also features select English language tracks from the band's previous albums Fruitcake (1996) and Sticker Happy (1997) as well as "With a Smile" from Circus (1994), which was also released as a single. It also includes "Ang Huling El Bimbo" from Cutterpillow (1995), the only song in Tagalog, due to the band having won the MTV Asia's Viewers Choice Award at the MTV Video Music Awards for its music video the previous year.[5]
Release and promotion
The initial pressing for Aloha Milkyway in Singapore at 400 copies sold out on its first day of release.[6] It went on to sell 1,000 copies there and in Indonesia.[5] The band later toured at Singapore in September to promote the album.[7]
In the Philippines, the album sold 20,000 copies on its first day of release in October.[5]
In 2008, BMG reissued Eraserheads's back catalogue, including Aloha Milkyway.[8]
