Built to Spill

I was looking around BB today for any albums by Built to Spill, but I could only find one "EP" type disc. What are the best albums by them, the ones to look for? I may have to try Tower or Amazon.

Thanks.

my girlfriend is a big fan of them (she made me listen to a couple of their cds, i couldn't stand them). anyway, she says their best album is keep it like a secret, fwiw.

I love Built to Spill, but I am a fan of their new one (Ancient Melodies?). Do a search on allmusic.com and then pick it up on tower.

Find more underground indie rock at insound.com. There you can find vinyl and cd's at low cost sent to your door. Doesn't get any better than that .

Good luck and I hope you found some other bands you like. Ther is a whole world brewiing in the underground that is light years ahead of the mainstreem.

Cheers.

DUDE.
I have been checking out everything on epitonic.com and it has totally re-wet my thirst for the underground. I just got so burnt out in the mid 90's from all the flashinthepan "grunge" bands. You can only hear so much of the same stuff ya know? Obviously there is still the spirit of experimentiality alive. I was totally into fin fang foom. Way cool. I bought an album from insound and am not ready to stop buying more. Instead of getting a built to spill album (which was originally intended) I became more interested in a hundred other bands
If I could fax you a beer I would. cheers!
