I heard one Mew album (the one with the horrible cover) and it wasn't bad but nothing impressive either. I have three A.C.T albums but only one of them is really really good (Last Epic).

So A.C.T it is!

Anyway, it's Mew for me, their 'And the Glass handed Kites' is one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard.

Mew can be pretty incredible.   Check out their song, "Introducing Palace Players,"  esp. the video
they did for the song.

A.C.T have some chops man. A few of those tunes on Last Epic are among the absolute catchiest music of the century so far.
