I'm just listening to it for the first time right now, and I'm really digging it. It really reminds me of old school Marillion with an even better singer.

IQ just changed their cover pic for Facebook to this....






Needless to say, I will be paying very close attention this Sunday. They are being very cryptic about this, which makes me tingle in strange places.

And since they are ahead of us we won't have to wait all day in America.  My guess is album title and European tour dates.

Now go clean the sticky stuff off your keyboard, since I assume the post 2 above is the long form of "splooge".

I've heard that Nicholls used to perform in makeup and costumes like Fish and Peter Gabriel in the early days.   Does video of that exist??

Yup, there's a really solid one of him doing The Enemy Smacks. I'm at work and YT is blocked, but just search Enemy Smacks live '93. Song is about heroine abuse, and he slowly transforms throughout the song. It's fucking scary and epic.

Has anyone pre-ordered this commemorative-launch-box thing? I went with 2CD-digipack edition, but I'm still curious about this box. Too early to speak about it, but if anyone has ordered it, I'd be glad to see some photos when it arrives in May.
This first band is Soen very cool swingy jazz fusion kinda stuff.

I wish. I have to settle for the 2disc as it was sold out by the time I could afford it.

I thought about it just to have early access to the album. I got a bud in England who would have happily taken the ticket, but in the end decided to just go with the 2CD version. That's a must since the second disc is of all new material as well.

I didn't really expected Russia to make the tour-cut, so I'm not disappointed at all. In fact, never expected them to do it. Yet it's still sad.

They did say on FB that they had plans in the works to play further out, we'll see who that includes. They haven't played California since 1993. :(

Never got into IQ.

As a fan of Marillion, they were suggested to me in the early '90s as being very similar and that if I liked Misplaced Childhood the album EVER would change my life.

It didn't. (Not even close)  So I sold it back.

Never bothered with them again until I heard some good things about Dark Matter. I picked that one up and while it more enjoyable than Ever, i didn't find me listening to it very much and I finally sold that one back a few years ago.

Unfortunately, I may have to conclude that they don't do much for me.

Whereas Ever did change my life  :lol

And funny enough, Dark Matter is at the lower end of IQ albums for me. Seventh House and Frequency blow it away.

I'm glad it changed someone's life.

Maybe it's a case of seeing the band live for it all to fall into place. I don't know.

What did it for me was Subterranea. The guitar tone in that album is amazing.

Subterrenea is a stunner, period. Such a brilliant concept album, can't wait for the movie.




And for those curious, here's the official press release, with a little add on from myself cause I couldn't resist. Can't wait to review this baby...

Hard to argue, but Seventh House has been my master for the last year or so. For me it is their most complete work, with all aspects of the band firing on all cylinders.


Very excited for the Subterrenea movie though...
