El Ben's "El New Music": Ian McIntosh-Awakened

**El Ben** · 10-31-2007, 10:59 AM

Two words: go now.

For those of you familiar with Jesus Culture (a youth conference ministry of Bethel Church in Redding, California, Ian is the keyboard player. For those of you who've actually heard the first Jesus Culture album (Everything), Ian is the beast playing the intro to "Dance."

I'll admit, I didn't like this music at first, but it's recently started growing on me. The piano hooks and wailing leads kept pulling me back and now I'm pretty sure I'm an Ian McIntosh addict. His album "Awakened" is on iTunes, but you can check the above link to give some of his stuff a listen before diving in with both feet.

Dude. That's some killer music. I'm gonna buy it next time I get a chance.

I love an apocalyptic sound, and first song is it. Great works and over all sound. We, as a community, need to support this guy.
