Just as a quick note, the Daniel Smith listed as producer is the band leader of The Danielson Famile, whom Sufjan was a touring member with around this era. Pretty sure he did not work with Beyonce, Incubus, or those other artists; that's probably a different Daniel Smith. The Danielson Famile (and its verious iterations--their biggest indie "hit" was the album Ships which was released under the name Danielson) is a distinct musical highlight from the underground Christian scene and well worth checking out if you like music a bit off the beaten path.
I think Avalanche - Outtakes from Illionise is underrated. You should consider reviewing it.
Awesome content! Id love to hear omnium gatherum by king gizzard and the lizard wizard at some point!

Sound is all messed up, can barely hear the music.
Too bad we can't hear the music. (I second that motion: Avalanche is as good for me as Illinoise.)
Love the Sufjan series. Don't miss All Delighted People. Even though it's not an LP, it's on the level of his other stuff.
