yellowy eyes Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 I read he wanted it to be a double album but many of the songs he wanted to put on it were left unfinished.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ondes Martenot Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 wikipedia writes a lot about that here's a quote: David McConnell, although there through much of the actual recording process, was not consulted during the mixing, nor was he asked for the extensive "three years' worth" of notes he and Smith had made while the album was being recorded. The producer also noted that the track "Ostriches & Chirping", a short instrumental made from sampling and looping the noises made by a toy bird, had nothing to do with Smith and was something that McConnell had recorded by himself. McConnell said: "...don't ask me how this ended up on the record, I totally forgot I had put that on one of his reels." When asked what he believed the late Smith would think of the released version of the album, McConnell told Benjamin Nugent, "I don't think he would have delivered [that] record. The record he would have delivered would have had more songs, would have had different mixes and [been] a little more in-your-face."Schnapf also expressed that the final result that he and Bolme had produced was not the album that Smith would have made. Schnapf also said that they did not add anything to the songs, and only mixed whatever had been recorded: "I would never presume to add anything. We didn't add anything."

yellowy eyes Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 we have that Oscar ceremony on tape and I last watched it 3 years ago and I didn't know Elliott Smith then.. but I remember when Celine Dion won. And Her performance too.. I think I have to watch that tape again.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amsterdam528 Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 I'm thinking that XO is easily one of the best albums I've ever heard. Either/Or isn't too far behind, but I prefer XO a whole lot more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bedofroses Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 ^^ i have not listened to Xo for ages now. hmmm, Figure 8 = From A Basement On A Hill > Xo > Either/Or > Roman Candle. I have not listened to 'Elliott Smith' before so didn't include obviously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
