I was curious if there were any IME or crash karma fans on here. Also curious if anyone has any bootlegs of either band? Have a great rest of the weekend guys.

I am a huge I Mother Earth fan. I used to correspond with Bruce quite often. I love the first two records with Edwin. The Crash Karma record was disappointing, I feel. At least IME never made the same album twice. I have a 3 hour VHS of IME TV appearances, festival sets etc, but it's in storage in Australia, and I live in Dublin. Classic band that never got its dues. Should have been huge outside of Canada, too, but t'wasn't to be. Shame.

Scenery and Fish came out my last year of High School and i listened to that thing almost non stop. I think i saw them at least 2-3 times in about a 6 month span at one point. Great live shows back then.
I gradually lost interest in the band when Edwin left.

Alex Lifeson guitar player from Rush put out a solo album in the 1990's. Edwin was the singer. That was a good record.
I got "Dig" the first IME album in 1993. It was just out, and I read a glowing review of it in Australia's now defunct only Heavy Metal Magazine, "Hot Metal". The way it was described, I thought I'd like it. So I brought it, fell in love, and waited for Scenery and FIsh to come out. Years later, it did, and I brought that. I was a lot more left of centre pop (Dig was left of centre alterna-metal) and I loved Scenery, too. Magnificent band. That VHS I have I got in a trade in the mid-90's. I LOVE Edwin-era IME. I'm the only non-Canadian that I knnow that has even heard of IME (except those people I turned onto them, of course!)
