| | Good Will Hunting Soundtrack CD (1 Customer Review)
For a movie so ostensibly family-oriented, the soundtrack to Good Will Hunting contains some pretty damn disconsolate music. The bulk of the songs here are provided by Heatmiser main man Elliott Smith, whose melancholy solo work far outshines ... Full Descriptionhis more rockist band outings, and has gained him far more acclaim. Smith songs like "No Name #3" and "Miss Misery" plumb the depths of despair without ever getting too noisy about their self-pity. We would use Nick Drake as a reference, were the comparison not rendered moot by the way Drake's name is tossed about recklessly in connection to every moe with a Prozac prescription and an acoustic guitar. Every late-'90s soundtrack is required by law to include at least one retro '70s cut. This album makes good use of that requirement to slip in Al Green's delectable rendition of the Bee Gees' classic torch song "How Can You Mend A Broken Heart." Pass the headphones and the Kleenex.
Producers include: Danny Elfman, Craig Street, Rob Schnapf, Elliott Smith, Daniel Lanois.Entertainment Weekly (10/12/01, p.44) - Ranked #95 in EW's "100 Best Movie Soundtracks"
Entertainment Weekly (1/9/98, pp.66-67) - "...Most of these songs have already appeared on [Elliott] Smith's own albums, but their recurring themes--love, rejection, breakups and the ensuing loneliness--are remarkably in synch with Matt Damon's janitor-savant title character..." - Rating: A-
NME (Magazine) (3/21/98, p.49) - 7 (out of 10) - "...[Elliot Smith] is now much sought-after for a sensitive and naked form of music that feels truthful....Also featured are Luscious Jackson, who are well up for the sassy self-examination with 'Why Do I Lie?'..."

elliott smith played in a few great rock bands before becoming a well known artist in his own right- in the mid nineties. the most notable of those bands was portland, oregons' heatmiser.in 1993, after releasing a scortching hot heatmiser 7" single on cavity search, elliotts' then girlfriend delivered a gorgeously sparse and hushed acoustic record of elliotts' 4-track "kitchen table" recordings to cavity search records - and they talked him into releasing it as "roman candle" in 1994.after several critically acclaimed cds and a spotlight in gus van sants' award winning "good will hunting" movie/soundtrack - elliott smith has become a household name headed for legendary status even before his 30th birthday!the future looks bright and the fans are coming from all points on the globe!
In a world full of self-pitying shoegazer troubadours celebrated for their own misery, Elliot Smith stands apart from the pack. At the time of this release, who could have guessed that this unassuming songpoet, with his hushed songs of ...

Good Will Hunting Soundtrack album
$11.99 
The Cinderella-esque climb from lo-fi indie cult artist to Grammy nominee/major label darling must have been a perilous one for Smith, who makes the leap to the big time here after three well-regarded albums on small labels. He's lost none of his bite, though. The production values on XO may be slightly higher, but Smith's vision remains undiluted.
The production, centered around acoustic guitar augmented by keyboards and lush vocal harmonies, recalls pop icons like the Beach Boys (especially on the closing acapella cut), Beatles and Big Star, but this is no sunny Cali-pop album. Leavening the instrumental brightness are Smith's Nick Drake-ish whisper and his thoroughly downcast lyrics, ...
