 Yes, it's a great album! It was the one that brought IQ back on the Road to Bones.

I always liked Subterranea quite a bit. I loaned my CD to my niece years ago and never got it back.

If you're not going to buy the whole album, Subterranea has some really good 5-6 minute long songs you could get, not too long, not too short, like the eponymous song, Sleepless Incidental, Capricorn and Breathtaker, that for me are the highlights of the album. Them and the Narrow Margin.

^ good luck on that (sorry I'm hanging onto my copy!)
I would grab the Show Of Resistance 2 CD (limited release) for the January German gig they did, while it's available. That has a great selection of IQ tracks , easily the best for an IQ live show. I mean Gateway and Further Away played on the same gig...it's IQ heaven for me.

Good, and reassuringly long..
Whilst on the subject of IQ. Is anybody out there willing to sell me their copy of the dark xmas special CD? I cannot source it anywhere and it is pecking my head... |

If there’s any criticism pointed at it, it’s just overlong - like Snow, like Lamb. They are fantastic albums, but can drag in places - when you have a lot of great material, the ‘lesser’ (and I don’t mean ‘padding’ as such) just feels superfluous.

I had it a long time ago but unfortunately don't currently own it. At the time I thought it was good but to be honest I don't think I gave it a fair chance. I think it's probably at least as good as Spock's Beard's "snow" if not better.

I like it a lot, though I don’t spin it often.

I don't know it (as I listen to "Failsafe"--the only song from the album I own). I've only just begun getting to know the Neo Prog "classics" and PA recommended favorites this year. Hope to chime in later.

I wouldn't bother. I picked it up a few years ago in Asda for a fiver and then fell asleep watching it... But hey, I don't like CTTE so some of you will probably love the film On the other hand, the Imaginaerum film by Nightwish IS worth watching....

I didn't even realise it had been released. Just looked on IMDb and it has some really bad reviews (a few 1 stars) but I might check it out.

I like it, though I admit it took a while to grow on me. It has more of a film score feel to it rather being a straightforward double album of music, and I find it drags a little in places. The Narrow Margin though is one of my favourite tracks in their entire catalogue.

Ok, I see the soundtrack has been released and is available on amazon. However, even that didn't get a very good review(yes only one review so far).

A few years ago but unfortunately it tanked. I think it got like a 5 rating on imdb. Too bad too. I think too many people thought the story line was corny not to mention too far fetched. I wish Mike would release the soundtrack he did for it at some point regardless.

I'm with you. It is their magnum opus. It is the most varied and most intricately designed album however IQ is amazingly consistent and it's not light years ahead of the rest. Ironically The Road to Bones is one of my least favorites.
