Sufjan Stevens' BQE To See CD/DVD Release

I always thought myself kind of lucky to have experienced "The BQE", a performance piece by Sufjan Stevens, commissioned for the Brooklyn Academy of Music. Well now others will be able to benefit from Stevens' talent.

"Two years later, Sufjan found inspiration to mix the music, edit the video and expand the project to include photographs, liner notes, a comic book, and a stereoscopic image reel—a multi-media package that attempts to render this much-loathed urban expressway into a conscionable work of art."

The release date is set for October 20, 2009. The double-disc album will include the original film on DVD, the original soundtrack on CD, a 40-page booklet (with photos and liner notes), and a stereoscopic image reel (aka View-Master®), created by illustrator Stephen Halker.
