THE COMPLETE I.E.M.

I was so excited to find a copy of this limited edition release available somewhere and was so stoked to have it arrive in the mail. IEM was always one of my favorite Steven Wilson projects because the music they produced was so innovative and nostalgic and I think nostalgia is what the group is really about.

The project's entire discography is here and within you will find some of the greatest psych jams ever released, and impressive blend of krautrock, space rock, free improv and electronic. I literally enjoy every single second of music this band put out and with good reason. This is the kind of music that will take your mind places, make you feel like you're floating and most importantly it just plain sound good. From the craziness to the ambience, Steven Wilson really had a high point with IEM.

And as an added bonus, the packaging is downright superb, a cool little box covered in a nostalgic World War II photo that comes with excellently designed mini-vinyls and 60 pages of more nostalgic photos that are incredibly enjoyable to look at while listening to the music.

If you can find one of these boxsets by chance, do not hesitate. I believe tonefloat has sold their every last copy so now they will be difficult to find.
