		Roman candles are banned in some countries, including Finland, due to their potential to cause accidents.
		Many Chinese Roman candles use clay instead of delay powder and run a length of fuse down the inside of the candle to time the lifts.

	Roman Candle (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Moving crisply through the reportoire of Smith, Roman Candle is full of regret and the kind of social snobbery we all experience from time to time "Everyone has gone/ Home to oblivion" he crackles on No Name #3 (used on the Good Will Hunting Soundtrack).
		Roman Candle is a stark, quiet, beautiful record and is probably Elliott's equivalent of Nick Drake's Pink Moon in that it is so minimalistic in production, mostly just acoustic guitar and vocals.
		This, his first solo album, is neither as smooth nor accomplished as any of the subsequent albums, particularly Figure 8 which is as slick as an oil accident.

	Elliott Smith - Roman Candle Review - sputnikmusic (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Roman Candle is no exception, being his first (solo) album it’s a fantastic collection of heart-felt acoustic based lullabies.
		Releasing such classic albums as “Either/Or” and “XO” Elliott was on the track to superstardom until his death in 2003.
		The first track of the album is one of the strongest.

	Roman Candle
		Roman Candle is a very little record, the kind of thing you’re always hoping you’ll be the first person to notice so that you can feel like you have it all to yourself.
		With the exception of a stray traps kit here and there or an occasional harmonica, it’s an album made up entirely of acoustic guitar and voice, though no song has fewer than two guitars and the all of the vocals are double-tracked.
		Such dynamics as there are occur at strategically placed moments throughout the album; there are perhaps two such moments, three at the outside.

		It is about one of the most underrated albums of all time (click on in-text links for samples of the tracks).
		The most amazing thing, and a testament to Elliott's songwriting genius, is that Elliott recorded the entire album under the stairs in an old house, and the songs were simply the most recent eight songs he had written.
		It's a shame that more people were turned off of this album by sour critical reviews, as well as their own preconceptions and biases.

		Roman Candle's title track or "Clementine" and "St Ides Heaven" from Smith's second album hint at the competence he would later achieve.
		Although not an essential purchase, this set documents the early releases of one of the true acoustic artists of the last five years.

		His first "solo" album is a cheap four-track home recording that hints at the melodic possibilities Smith would explore in greater detail on subsequent releases.
		The recording is not as "slick" as any his later albums, but as is his way, Elliott turns the 4 track to his advantage, though he said it was a "complete mistake" that it ended up sounding this good.
		This album is not garnish to his other releases, it is key.

		This one's for the OK Computer's, the Roman Candle's, the Trompe le Monde's.
		Gough wrote and performed nearly all of the album himself (with a little help on drums, etc), and for a debut it's quite remarkable.
		Most of the songs are based around acoustic guitar, bass, and some sort of electronic or acoustic drums; but the kitchen sink is strewn throughout the album.

		"Roman Candle," recorded while he was still a member of the punk/grunge/whatever group "Heatmiser," is gloriously barren and unproduced.
		I can't really decide whether this, his self-title second album, or Either/Or is my album of his more spartan indie recordings but that consistency is a testament to the excellence of Elliott Smith's abilities.
		This album is a hushed and tender reminder of how lovely it is to visit solitude but not to remain too long in its presence or be swept up by the vitality of it's poison and crumbling beauty.

	RARB Review of Off the Beat - Burn Like a Roman Candle
		This year's Off the Beat album hit a new milestone with me, but not a particularly good one; on my first listen-through, I was not tempted to push the rewind track button once.
		I mentioned on the last album review that there was a lot to be impressed by, but not a lot to love.
		Since I'll likely be reviewing your next album, I pray that in a post-Fixell world, you realize the power of contrasts, the impact of beautiful, calm vocals, the value of less is more, that effects should flavor a vocal performance, not hammer it into an instrumental one.

	Roman Candle Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		"Roman Candle" is the first album Elliott released on his own, away from "Heatmiser", and it is easily his worst.
		While it is raw, it shows just the smallest bit of potential, but not the type of potential that tells you something great is coming up, its the type of potential that tells you the man might crack the top 500 on the Billboard Music Charts.
		"Roman Candle" shows the slighest bit of pop sensibility, and "Last Call" and "No Name #3" both echo the potential that "The Biggest Lie" brought to self-titled.

	Elliott Smith: "Roman Candle" ---Ink Blot Magazine
		Smith released his first solo record, Roman Candle, in 1994 while still in Heatmiser.
		The songs on Roman Candle breathe with a vitality almost never found in such bleak surroundings.
		The starkness of the recording leaves room for the flawless guitar to come through and takes the listener on a dark 30 minute stroll.

		He also recorded three albums with Heatmiser in the early '90s: Dead Air and Cop and Speeder (both on Frontier) and Mic City Sons (Virgin/Caroline).
		Elliott completed the 15 songs on this album prior to his death in the Fall of 2003.
		The album features Elliott's final recordings compiled by his immediate family, Joanna Bolme and producer Rob Schnapf, who worked on three of Elliott's albums (either/or, xo, and figure 8) and did the final mix on from a basement on the hill.

		The bad news is, J. has apparently returned to the mothership, because this album is not nearly as good as More Light or anything released during the glory days of Dinosaur Jr.
		The good news is, the aliens have apparently made great advances in their development of J. Mascis clones, because this album could almost pass as the real thing.
		As a whole, the album comes up short in the hooks department, but almost makes up for it with plenty of J.'s trademark shredding.

		When people say the production on this album is poor, do not expect a grainy sound or inaudible vocals.
		For those of you who are heartsick fans of Elliott Smith, you will find Roman Candle(1994) to be the album which best describes Elliott Smith and his style of music.

	Elliott Smith: "Elliott Smith" ---Ink Blot Magazine (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		This album seems to have been spawned from the momentum of its brilliant predecessor Roman Candle.
		Smith was well on his way to leaving his rock 'n' roll band Heatmiser, and surely the amazing artistic success of his first solo release enabled this album.
		The album's opener "Needle In the Hay" thickly pours out the concrete for the album's strong foundation that solidifies then crumbles into a pile of terror-ravaged psyches.

	TrouserPress.com :: Heatmiser
		A far cry from Heatmiser's aggro attack, the album features hushed, folky tunes with lightly brushed drums, acoustic 12-string guitars and some pretty fingerpicking by Smith, whose hoarse whisper tells tales of disintegrating relationships sketched in elliptical yet pungent terms, like diary entries.
		The second solo album improves greatly on the recipe.
		Elliott Smith's songs, melodies, arrangements and production are all stronger and more fully realized than those on Roman Candle, although the record covers the same thematic territory-substance abuse, disappointment and his uniquely resigned defiance.

	Best Elliott Smith Album - Topic Powered by eve community
		I'm not a big fan of the self-titled or Roman Candle and I thought his last one was pretty mediocre.
		I know that the albums' creation and completion have received a fair amount of press, but it's a story that merits a documentary in and of itself.
		The only album of his that I don't think is up to par is XO, it's got quite a few mediocre songs.

	Favorite Elliott Smith Album - eBaum's World Forum
		Yeah XO is a damn good album and I'd have to say has been a favorite of mine, but I have really been enjoying his older stuff lately.
		It's hard to rank the albums to be honest, they are all amazing, today's music needs more people like him around.
		It's hard to pick between them, but my favorite album is XO, with Waltz #2 (XO) being my favorite song.
