The problem with IM is not that they moved forward. It's that they move forward to what? To Becoming Insane.
They left the psytrance scene for what? For Duvdev ambitious attempt to sing even if it's more than obvious that he can't.
The left the genius melodies for songs with full on basslines, stupid guitar and oh yes, Duvdev!
IM especially Erez had so much talent and potential that they could become the first fully electronic classical music group.
Or experimental ambient. Or some other form of electronica.
But no, they went pop.
