‘Illinoize’: Sufjan Stevens gets the mash-up treatment (download)

As a heads up, some of Sufjan Stevens‘ songs have been mixed with the vocals from a bunch of hip hop heavyweights to make the mixtape, Illinoize. I’m going to give you the little blurb from the website telling you a little more about it, as well as the tracklist and a download link at the bottom. It’s supposed to be good. UPDATE: After having listened to it, I can verify that it is VERY good. It’s a lot like what AmpLive did with Radiohead’s In Rainbows, in terms of quality.

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.
