THE SEVENTH HOUSE

After writing "Subterranea" I think IQ had their work cut out for themselves, but they did it again kids! "The Seventh House" musically picks off of both "Ever" and "Subterranea" masterpieces adding some nice new twists. "The Seventh House" is 6 new long songs emphasizing the creative and memorable lyrics of Peter Nicholls put to the best music you could ever imagine. As with all IQ releases musicanship is simply breathtaking with Jowitt's bass lines, Orford's delicate and intelligent keyboard playing, Holmes' excellent guitar runs and accents and Cook's highly expressive percussive talents. What has attracted me to IQ over the years is thier ability to write and execute such compelling music with out ever sounding worn or borrowed. Lead singer Peter Nicholls adds his solid voice in the mix and sounds just simple incredible. This album has not left my CD player since it arrived in my mailbox.
