I was recently given a couple of His Name is Alive's 12" for the song
"Nothing Special". The B-side has 2 remixes, 1 by Burnt Friedman and the
other by Herman and Kliene. The song is just plain beautiful. I've never
heard of this guy before but this single is definitely straight up R&B, its
so R&B that even the remixes don't really bother with trying to put an idm
twist on things. Vocals are a damn good thing, its too bad that its not the
"idmest" thing to do. I thing its easy to cut up vocals over a choppy beat
(which most people do) but it must be really hard to suppress the idm ego
and not tamper with the vocals. The new Herbert record has some great
un-touched vocals on it as well.
Anyway, Rumor has it that His Name is Alive will be doing 4 shows here in
NYC, one for every tuesday of august. The first show will feature ectomorph
and adult.
