Dark Matter!

For now, anyway. Ask me again next week and I'll say 'Ever' or 'The Seventh House'  I love their 90's albums, and have difficulty picking a favourite. I saw them live before Christmas and they sounded excellent.
Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy!

The Wake / Subterranea. Both magnificent. The rest of IQ's discography is ok, but somehow repetitive...

Nonzamo is horrible. And I haven't even tried that "Are you sitting comfortably" stuff. I have heard that it is pretty anoying.

The Wake was my first album and I still love it.

Dark Matter is nice too, but I have some difficulty with Harvest of Souls.

Tough choice. I'm not sure if I can say which is the best, but I can say that Dark Matter is my favorite. It is a good candidate for best though, along with Subetrranea, The Seventh House, Ever, and The Wake.

Yes, unlike most of other 80s neo-prog bands, IQ reached their peak in the last 13 years, and I hope that they sustain themselves right theere for their next album. The "Ever" album was not only a rebirth, but also a refurbishment and a definite maturation of their own neo-prog voice. From "Subterranea" onward they added new nuances and ideas within a stablished, distict trademark. The way I see it, IQ shoes how a band can either progress or keep themselves interesting without changing horses amidst the waves of pop fashion. Other bands do so and they dare call it "really progressing". Imagine that, "progressing" is soundling a bit like Radiohead in the late 90s and then a little like Muse in the early 2000s, and so on... But I'm digressing: IQ have kept their creative energies quite active for their latest albums.

   Regards.

A toss up between Lush Attic and Dark Matter, both are just utterly superb.

The Wake for me. It sounds a lot fresher than all of their 90s albums, which I like to.
My soundcloud. Please give feedback if you want!
