TALES FROM THE LUSH ATTIC

I discovered this a few months after the release of their third album , and I was not all that impressed but still listened to it as I was plain glad it existed at all. And at the time IQ was already diving towards the atrocious mid-carreer albums in their quest to gain a more personal sound other than that of the cloning of Genesis . Unfortunately for them they will not succed , however courageous that decision was.

As for the music on this one , expect a rougher Wake album with all the mistakes a young prog band does on their debut but with a real sloppy sound too. Marillion's debut of the same year boast an incredibly good sound. I suppose they had more support from their record company.
