IME is a dope band. They are my second favorite of all time. So let's start from the beginning.

Dig-first album, hard, "rain will fall" is the best on the album in my opinion. Overall its a great album

Scenary and Fish-best album they ever made. This album is what got me really into them. "another sunday" is such an awesome song. Preety much all the songs on the album are great. This is a must buy if you want to see what they are all about.

Blue, Green, Orange- is alright, not their best effort. This shows what they lost in not having Edwin in the band. Brian is still a great singer, but i didn't think it had the passion and power the other two albums had.

"New Album"- coming out within the next few months, still not named. "Juicy", which is an awesome song is the only single released to date. So check that out on Kazaa or whatever you use for a downloading mp3 program.

My screenname is mapko11 on AOL IM, i can send you their albums over instant messanger. Let me know

Yeah, I miss the good old I Mother Earth with Edwin at the helm, but Brian's vocal presence has grown on me. Judging by the precious time the band is taking with their next record (which has just recently been completed), I think it's definitely gonna kick some serious ass when released...
Anyways, Here are some other good IME tunes to check:

w/ Edwin
- Not Quite Sonic (my fave)
- Levitate
- So Gently We Go
- Lost My America
- Used to Be Alright
- One More Astronaut
- Like A Girl
- Shortcut to Moncton
- Sense of Henry

w/ Brian
- Love Your Starfish
- When Did You Get Back From Mars
- Summertime in the Void
- Good For Sule
- Autumn on Drugs
- Infinity Machine

Brian has talent and a cool voice but on some songs it sound like he doesn't know how to use it, or he's not very good at melodies......i didn't realy like the verse in "Infinity Machine" :roll: :freak:

lol IME and Edwin sound like they're on some serious drugs too.......but i guess that shouldn't be surprising if you read their lyrics :lol:

Scenery & Fish is one of the greatest albums ever. I adore it. The whole things kicks ass. I love Songburst & Delerium. Sheer brilliance!

I don't know which IME album is my favourite... I like them all. But I have to say, I like Brian's voice WAY better.
I've had BGO and S&F for a while now, and I finally picked up Dig last week. I haven't had a chance to it yet... we'll have to see.
