Axioms is the title of experimental pop band Impossible Recording Machine's first album. It was released in 2001. IRM originally wanted their first album to be a three-disc set entitled Inertia . Acceleration . Interaction, with each disc in a different genre, but their label Positron! Records managed to talk them out of this approach. Axioms resulted from this aborted album, supposedly incorporating five tracks from each of the discs. The album artwork separates each set of five by using Newton's laws of motion, as seen here:

INERTIA - The Soft Wire, Neptune, Eyes Of Cydonia, Soft Rains, The Beauty Of Sadness
ACCELERATION - Interference, Compulsive 3, Medicine, Out Of Phaze, Electricity
INTERACTION - Safety In Numbers, The Bells, Dragging The Lake, Shutdown, Absentia
