Obviously: Sufjan Stevens' recently released album of outtakes and extras, "The Avalanche", will not be as completely satisfying as the final cut that was "Come On Feel the Illinoise". But it does have a surprising number of musical gems that make it an essential purchase for fans of Sufjan and Illinois.
Here's a song for you, really wonderful (even if I don't know precisely what he's singing about ... it's strikes me as impressionistic the way "Casimir Pulaski Day" was in "Illinoise"):
The Mistress Witch from McClure (or, The Mind That Knows Itself)
(I do like the alternate title better ... "The Mind That Knows Itself". Yeah, that's deep man)
