I remember Muzik putting Ima at #5 in their best dance albums ever list in like 2002 or something and raising an eyebrow but I still don't think I've ever bothered to listen to anything he's released. Always assumed he was essentially the breaks version of Sasha & Digweed or something and really life's too short.

hes got a new album with Christian Burns out now under the name All Hail the Silence. it's a 84 minute synthpop album and clearly a childhood dream but man, I'll definitely be voting for this at the end of the year. analog synths, overwrought vocals, bad haircuts...man it's like the 80s all over again. even the videos are kind of hilarious, I mean you can picture the director saying "yell louder!! no, louder!! Brian, we need five more shots of you smirking and bobbing your head!!!"

I probably like him most in synth pop mode, but the AHTS EP left me cold. May check the album out tho

There's nothing of value from BT since 1995. Just a frosted tip, cheesy has been.

Don't you dare talk like that about ESCM.

I still like this guy but man is he easy to make fun of. One of my favorite blogposts I've ever done is a...uh..."review" of These Hopeful Machines...

the period where he sounded like a USA-poppier version of Hybrid was probably pretty yuck after even a brief period

just realized this dude is the Garth Brooks of electronic music
not in terms of popularity or anything but rather that weird energy and intensity they bring to such aggressively mediocre music. plus their uhh 'signature' fashion sense
