    No, not Xtian. From allmusic.com: "Named after history class notes on Abraham Lincoln, the Livonia, MI-based sonic manipulators His Name Is Alive formed when multi-instrumentalist/producer Warren Defever (also of shockabilly group Elvis Hitler) was still in high school. "

    I don't think they have any connection to Christianism. Btw, great band. Too bad it took me aeons to really listen to them.

    Pretty sure Stars on E.S.P. is one of those stranded-on-an-island albums for me. Never gets old.

    Has anybody heard the Someday RMX album? Happy Blues (Recloose remix) sounds like it has a sample from David Sylvian's Nostalgia on his Brilliant Trees album. Noticed it just now after buying Brilliant Trees.

    Unique and very innovative! Every album I get simply amazes me.. Ideas ranging from Etheral landscapes .. dreampop .. through alt rock .. all the way to some forms of surf, rnb ... I dont know if I even call it right ;-)

    I'm on my first listen of them (Home Is in Your Head), and I must say, these guys are pretty unique.
