I purchased MCIS for my neighbor who was giving me a ride to school at the time of its release as a thank you.  I was 14 at the time and after hearing a few songs on the way to school I had to purchase my own copy. Front to back this album really defined this time in my life! In high school they would play the music videos on the TV in the classrooms on “Channel One”. I was lucky enough to see SP live in 96 in Jacksonville in support of this album.

I drew the hourglass with wings on my skateboard at the time and would have it tattooed on my leg some 18 years later. 10 years after its release I almost wore out my original CD’s while making the 4+ hour drive back and forth to college.

25 years later MCIS is still in my daily playlist while at work.  Each song brings me back to a time and place and has a specific memory attached to it.  This album is a masterpiece that I grow more found of as the years go by! I still at times find myself hearing things I never heard before and finding connections to the lyrics as I grow older.
