Review by Lisa Williamson

IEM's self-titled album is a mesmerizing journey through the experimental soundscape of Steven Wilson's musical universe. The album features intricate layers of electronic and acoustic instrumentation, creating a unique blend of ambient, psychedelic, and progressive rock music.

The opening track, "Deafman", sets the tone for the rest of the album with its haunting melody and atmospheric soundscapes. Wilson's guitar work is particularly impressive, blending seamlessly with the electronic elements of the music.

The album's standout track is undoubtedly "Headphone Dust". The song's driving rhythm and intricate guitar work create a hypnotic groove that is impossible to resist. The atmospheric soundscapes and subtle vocal harmonies add to the song's ethereal quality, making it a true highlight of the album.

Other notable tracks include "Fie Kesh", with its dreamlike quality and haunting vocals, and "The Gospel According to the IEM", which features a captivating mix of electronic and acoustic instrumentation.
