Post by: scarred on 25 Apr 2009, 02:03

Is it okay to be vaguely disturbed by this?

Illinoize is a free remix tape put together by Montreal-based producer Tor, sampling songs from multi-instrumentalist and indie hero, Sufjan Stevens. Tracks are sampled from his 2005 LP Illinoise, as well as 3 of his other albums, 'A Sun Came', 'Seven Swans' and 'Songs for Christmas', blending Sufjan Steven's acoustic guitar, piano and horns with MC's Aesop Rock, Big Daddy Kane, Gift of Gab (Blackalicious), C.L. Smooth, Outkast, Brother Ali, and Grand Puba.

I listen to these tracks and part of me shudders.

Hold on, this is real I?? I thought it was a joke. Oh man. Who on earth thought this would be a good idea?

I just sold my copy of that CD with Superman on the cover the other day.

Is this new? There was definitely an Illinoise remix album years ago and it was actually pretty good iirc.

How many of those fifty thousand chumps do you think got a copy of White Light/White Heat on very appropriately white vinyl out of the deal, though?
