Yeah, I've got Roman Candle and From a Basement on the Hill.

Roman Candle is a really nice soft acoustic album.
FaBotH is a little tricky because it was released post-humously and we'll never know if it sounded the way Smith intended however it's still a good listen and has a more 'heavy' sound to it although there are still a couple of acoustic gems like 'Twilight' on it.

My collection is now complete.

I'm really liking Roman Candle.

since my last post here, i have actually listened to heatmiser a lot more.

if you get over the vocals, 'dead air' is a pretty decent album. 'cop and speeder' is one i've been playing heaps though, there's some really good tracks on there. you can really tell this was not his preferred style of music though.

bought the remastered roman candle album also, obviously it sounds ****ing good.

heatmiser have some real quality stuff. But I agree anti; you could sorta tell it wasn't really the music he wanted to make.

He wore them down with Mic City Sons. Is one of Elliott's best.

yeah, 'the fix is in' is as good an elliott song as you'll get.

that album sort of sounds like 2 split EPs. the contrasting styles in gust and smith make it sound like 2 different bands.

Yep, 'The Fix Is In' has always reminded me of one of my favourite Elliott Smith songs, 'Cupid's Trick'.

'Plainclothes Man' is another gem off that album.

 

[SHAKESPEARE]

Plainclothes easily one of his best.

I only discovered Elliott Smith after watching Good Will Hunting and wondering what the song was at the end of the movie as Will drives to California. Have recently gone on an iTunes rampage buying his albums...love love love.
