In addition to the Primavera show was by far the best concert I've ever seen, it helped to perceive Stevens litratolkulla drain to sap visionääriyttä, which is to locate his discography through.
Between 2000 and 2001, published in the banjohäröilylevyt A Sun Came, and avant-garde inclined to Enjoy Your Rabbit were more or less in silence appeared on the works of curiosity, who settled in perspective their own only in the last couple of years.
Grouting position in the 2000s as a new high-songwriter Stevens has just begun its third album. In 2003, he released his place and event references to religious fantasy compounds of the Michigan the great 8 album, which was to be his album in 50 states comprising the first part of the series.
The same album also launched a three-year unbelievably productive phase of Sufjan's career. During the period 2003-2006 were released four albums left of that 50 states series, it would have been a marketing trick and a joke, and Sufjan in 2009, it was revealed.
Michigan Chamber of folk a small scale, the great 8 but big on biblical themes and the Second Coming of Christ sunk Seven Swans was published in 2004 and presented in a traditional song by Sufjan. A man and a banjo or guitar was accompanied by only a small orchestration here and there.
In 2005, the pace accelerated and crystallizes Sufjan genius of his first official mestariteoksekseen. Originally a 50-song double disk designed Illinoise was full of the same references as in Michigan, but was otherwise in every respect the great 8 to the previous one variable more in-depth the great 8 work.
He recorded and produced the album himself, which is not in itself a great achievement, but when it is credited the great 8 to the guitar, piano, bass, drums, oboe, alto saxophone, flute, banjo, at the game, accordion, vibraphone, keyboards, delivery of, tambourine, triangle, nose flute and maracas with Caller ID and a singer, so inevitably there is time to talk about the wonderful achievement, even multi-instrumentalist public terms.
And where very few artists will receive 75-minute disc to stay from start to finish and cpm interesting, Sufjan still teased by publishing in 2006 an excellent collection The Avalanche Illinois leftover songs.

On the contrary, already in the disc-opening the great 8 The Avalanche song with emoalbumillakin would have been a serial killer John Wayne Gacy ballad Jr. and the single track of Chicago like the peak current and classic song.
In between, of course, was published in a Christmas box and the Brooklyn-Queens motorway written in honor of a modern classic in the direction of kurotellut The BQE album that settled in the first two album art continuum. They were not even close to what was expected.
First, at the end of August, Stevens released any warning, the All Delighted People EP. It was still more or less orchestrated folk-biiseineen quite uneventful Sufjan release and a natural continuation of Illinois. What's going on because there were two of more than a ten-minute songs and EP KSI very respectable 59 minutes of measurement.

It was the r & b-frame built on top of a futuristic sound collage, which plays a kimallellen and thickly. the great 8 Anything like this was unheard of, let alone been expecting. Sufjan self-reported interest in becoming a sound experiments, and was able to hear anyone.
