IML-ShOScienceThe Intercontinental Music Lab (IML) is a world-wide music project whose aim is to promote musical collaboration. The core contributors, originally from Cambridge, England are now writing and recording music all over the planet – and new international collaborators are being enlisted every week. IML Collaborators submit backing-tracks to IML H.Q. where they are randomly redistributed to other collaborators who write lyrics and record vocals. The subject of IML’s first album was “Superheroes of Science”, second “Superheroes of Sea” and the third was “Superheroes of Space”.

“Superheroes of Science” is a crazy compilation of alternative pop tracks and the first one in the Superheroes trilogy. Each song is different and unique in its own way. You will hear spoken language, beautiful female voices, some trip hop, and even touch of America! You will not be bored for sure! According to the musicians, the album explores the passions and discoveries of scientists from earth’s illustrious past. The album was put together collaboratively between musicians from Japan, Australia, England and America.
