Air, Fire, Water
A well-deserved—and better-sounding—follow-up to "One More for the Road", the band's sophomoric effort contains ten new songs. Brian and Ellen have their share of time before the microphone on several pieces, but Tina is absent for "personal reasons", leaving Ian to play bass (in addition to guitar) while she's gone.
Notes
"Virgin Lady" segues into "We're On This Way".
The single version of "A Dime and a Quarter" contains additional instrumentation.
"Looking for Love (again)" contains a sample of an untitled piece taken from Ian's demo tape.
The title for the album comes from three elements and the band's corresponding shirt colors; Green for Air, Red/Magenta for Fire, and Blue for Water.
Tina is absent from these recording sessions due to her "goth phase" at the time.

Single
A Dime and a Quarter & Exemplary Boyfriend (Right Away)
This single contains "A Dime and a Quarter" from Air, Fire, Water (with additional instrumentation), and a new song, "Exemplary Boyfriend", a duet by Ian and Ellen. Ian saw this as an opportunity to propose to Ellen, which she gleefully accepted.
