Timrhu...I would say I had the same experience with some of the more accessible tracks, John Wayne Gacey Jr or Sears Tower or even Night Zombie's, but some of the 10th grade marching band (his description not mine!) or Zappaesque orchestrations took some listens to truly connect to. Now I hear it as an entire piece of work and one that is really like no other. I would say that his catalog, of which I have all but BQE, is the most played in my house along with 16 Horsepower/Woven Hand (thanks Marco!) and Sun Kil Moon/Mark Kozelek.
Sufjan Stevens - All Delighted People EP
I stumbled across this yesterday and thought I would pass it along. I admit that I have become a very big fan of SS but also admit that it took many listens to Illinois to get there. This EP (oddly titled at 60min, after 2 listens so far, may take an equal number to grasp hold of. Elaborate, odd, complicated and crossing many styles he continues to offer music like we have never heard before and continues to be one of the greatest songwriters of our era to my ears/mind/soul. At $5 it's a bargain too!
