When I saw them in September I did find it a bit strange that there was no materiel from Dark Matter in their live set. However I saw them in January and they played Harvest of Souls and You Never Will so maybe its just a case of them changing the set list between gigs and the DM materiel is out of rotation at the moment.

On a different forum here Roj M30 reviewed last week's gig by IQ & gave the set list as follows:

Frequency
Erosion
Sleepless Incidental
Stronger Than Friction
Darkest Hour
The Wake
Closer
Widow's Peak
Last Human Gateway (middle section)
Guiding Light
It All Stops Here
Out Of Nowhere

It seems odd to me this list completely ignores their most recent (2004?) and to my mind their strongest album yet, Dark Matter - sure, given the fact they want to showcase some new material, I can understand why maybe they couldn't play 'Harvest Of Souls', but why none of the other songs?

Bear in mind I've only recently discovered IQ, so know nothing of any politics within the band (I only found out Martin Orford had left recently), but it does seem strange they play nothing from their album which was among the finest releases of 2004.

Genuine question - Any ideas?
