If you ever encounter a problem locating a certain CD, you only have to look to three of the biggest prog vendors, worldwide, and they're all in the States: And there's also eBay.

IQ are fantastic and hope to see them one day, despite being hard to find its worth the search I've been a fan since I heard the wonderful Subterranea , one of their best albums. Peter Nicholls tis a talented singer great voice, somehow he reminds me of Peter Gabriel. lol. Im looking forward to the release of Dark Matter I've only heard wee bits available on their site.

IQ is one of the best neo-prog bands
 . Their last record : "The seventh house" is truly great , especially the last track, which blends neo with metal-prog. It's a good thing they returned to form after Paul Menel left. Their two first albums are must-have for any Genesis afficionados. "Ever" marked a welcome return to their prog roots and is regarded as one of their best efforts. The two albums that followed are also proving they didn't lost faith in their earlier aesthetics. Peter Nicholls was for sure inspired by Peter Gabriel but his voice is very unique and a deep emotion soars from it. I saw them live in Paris 2 years ago, and they were on top form . I don't know if they are still active but I hope they will release some new stuff soon.

Ever is, and will be, IQ's best album! John Jowitt's bass playing really makes a difference, and Peter was at the top of his lyrical game (great singing, too). I also own and enjoy (whenever I get to it, perhaps once a year) the CD by Peter's band, Niadem's Ghost (this was actually a new ro band he was in when he wasn't a member of IQ circa '87-'89 or so). A nice stripped down sound, quartet style (no keyboards), great melodies, and Peter really sings his ass off. BUT...my fave "neo" band will always be Twelfth Night. If Geoff Mann hadn't left them, they might have turned into something monstrous. The first album with Andy Sears is actually very good, Art & Illusion, but after that, fergeddit! I'm looking forward to more TN reissues/remasters. Fact & Fiction and Live and Let Live are classics! Live At The Target is up, next!

I'm a fan.I've seen them 3 times live and they are always good value.'The Wake' is a classic but my all time favourite IQ album is 'Ever' .One track in particular Further Away knocks most 90's prog straight in to touch. I'm very much looking forward to seeing them at the Chippenham prog festival in September along with a fine new band called Magenta and others.Maybe I might see some of you there! |

SV: Like Peter, I've only heard "The Wake," which I absolutely love (I've also reviewed the album). I'm looking forward to hearing more of their stuff. Nice to "hear your voice" again... Peace. |
