Not sure if we have ever seen such a great combination of artists for a compilation. Have a look below at the track list if you haven't already. Sufjan's ten minute trip fest? Bon Iver singing falsetto over electric guitar? Ben Gibbard with Feist? Dirty Projectors with David Byrne? Grizzly Bear and Feist? There are some interesting match-ups and from what we have heard of the album so far, the artists aren't just treating this like some small charity deal, the songs are much better than would be expected for these kind of things.

We decided to scour the internet and find links to as many of the songs on the compilation so you can have a listen yourself. Please comment if you stumble across a broken link or if you have one that we are missing.

If you decide you like the album and would like support a really worthwhile cause, head on over to 4AD's website and pre-order the album. The compilation hits stores on 16th February '09 (17th in North America).
