4 stars On the wave of Marillion listenings, I tried to enlarge my neo-prog knowledges and went with IQ "The Wake". As for the most of albums I "study" before buying, I was expecting just this kind of music, I mean a Marillion way to read again 70's prog, but I found more some typical aspects of 80's music. Expecially "Outer Limits","The Wake","The Thousand Days" have a "new wave" sound that clearly reminds me groups like Cure or Siouxsie and the Banshees...and this is not a good new!Fortunately every part of the tracks and the musicians work is well prog orientated so that a comparision with Marillion (maybe Fugazi album) is appropriate. Perhaps because of different singer kind of voice I cannot see many Gabriel's elements, and all the album results to sound original and balanced, in order to encourage me to go on in the neo-prog way.
