Am i the only one around here who keeps up with Time Stereo / Warn Defever / His Name is Alive projects?

There's a covers-only album available for download (for $10, at http://www.hisnameisalive.com) called Dreem Up, but I'm holding out for a CD-R release.

Roger, did you manage to score a Cloud Box?

Intrigued by the covers album - who does he cover?

01 Seven (Peter Green - "Seven Stars")
02 Boy (Tiger Trap - "Prettiest Boy")
03 Jody (Masters Of Reality - "Jody Sings")
04 Jane (Jane Siberry - "Taxi Ride")
05 Silver (Leadbelly - "Bring Me Li'l Water, Silvy")
06 Affection (The Carter Family - "Fond Affection")
07 Young (Neil Young - "Harvest")
08 Night (Big Star - "Nightime")
09 Man (Charlie Feathers - "Man In Love")
10 People (origin confidential)
11 Long (The Beatles - "Long, Long, Long")

Here are the ten albums included:
01. Brown Rice
02. USA vs Gamelan
03. Dreem Up
04. The Pinecone
05. Mystery Spot
06. Spring Can Really Hang You Up The Most
07. Wake Up Jin
08. Everglades National Park
09. Free Concert His Name Is Alive
10. Detrola

I thought about putting in a request for the Cloud Box. I'm glad to see they sold out so quickly.

excellent point. they're all over the map and retain legitimacy in each of the genres. not so much with regards to techno, though, the Control Panel releases, IMO, could certainly hold their own. (though i never quite saw derrick may or richie hawtin spinnin' em)

;)

i believe spring was released in super limited edition for a detroit show, too... at least, i think that's what i have a copy of. the first half of the disc is kind of dubby, the second half is more noisy.

i've heard that warn is pretty well known for bringing a very limited run of discs to shows--my copy of brown rice is something like 7/10. sometimes he'll burn some extra copies for stormy and other local stores, sometimes not.

keep us all posted about rips. i was at the concert that was included in the box and would love to get a copy of it...

what do people who still care think of the new one (the eclipse)? I like it more than the last one. Nabisco?

the opening song on the new album slays. sounds like warren's been listening to the cardiacs and barclay james harvest

Anyone keeping track?

Hey HNIA fanatics - if you have any of the Time Stereo CD-Rs (that came out around 2000-2001) that were burned on Mitsui CD-Rs (look at the clear plastic at the center of the CD, label-side) then you might want to rip them to WAV/FLAC while it's still possible. Several of mine are deteriorating, even with proper storage (no direct sunlight, room temperature, etc.) In my entire collection, I've only had one other CD-R that has deteriorated, so that tells me that the connection here has got to be that batch of Mitsui CD-Rs they were using.

So far, my CD-Rs of "Great Lakes State Blues", "Sound of Mexico" and "Early Music Vol. 1" are ripping with lots of terrible audio artifacts. The 10 or so others (on Mitsui CD-Rs) that I ripped just now all ripped fine, though.

Someone uploaded a 1995 HNIA show in Mexico including the opening set from the Dirt Eaters (with mosh pit!): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a5UdkfRS3p8

Very pleasant surprise to hear Home is In Your Head's "Sitting Still Moving Still Staring Outlooking" toward the end of the movie Air -- played while Phil Knight/Ben Affleck was waiting for word on Michael Jordan signing with Nike.

Might be time to start a "Brit-label indie music soundtracking major-studio sports-tangential films" thread, i.e. Durutti Column in "Jerry Maguire."
