i recorded this for andrew lee's birthday in 2004. hooner plays in In Medias Res and this is a version of their song "of what was".
i once read an article about the rheostatics in which gord downie from the hip was quoted as saying "i think we are all better for seeing the rheostatics play tonight" (the rheos were opening). that's how i feel after i see IMR play.
It may not be a full-fledged LP, but All Delighted People is probably my favourite of Sufjan's works. Without an overaching album theme to tie the songs together, it felt like Sufjan was free to experiment on each track and give them their own unique sound. And because of that (and Sufjan's talent), every track on there is a standout track. Angkasawan
