Sufjan Stevens, Come On Feel The Illinoise


This cd has found it's way into my cdp everyday this week. Seriously, I can't recall the last time an album has affected me like this.

Well recorded also.

I have a funny introduction to Sufjan.

I read some reviews of Illinios when it first came out and hoped to hear it at some point. A few months later I was contact by a filmmaker that shot a Sufjan live concert all with diffferent cameras, 16mm film, DV, HDV and wanted me to match them as close as possible, which I was able to do for them.

After I that really grew to like Illinios more and more.

When I got my new Raven One table, I broke down and got the LP.

It is phenominal musically and sonically, especially for a low budget digital recording.

I think this really shows how a recording done with dynamics and not mastered loudly can sound quite good, as opposed to the major releases these days.

I actually like his other release Seven Swans on LP and have to listen more to Michigan, also on LP
