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.

I never knew any non-Canadians knew about I Mother Earth.

I really like Scenery and Fish.

I Mother Earth was great when Edwin was with them. There, I said it.

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!)
