So Frequency will be released on vinyl and the DVD live show...


https://www.iq-hq.co.uk/index.php/254-frequency-reissue

In the end it seems that they won't re-release the 2007 show... they are only adding a never-before-released version of The Province.

Is it a straight re-issue? No remix/remaster?

Man, the piano interlude in the middle of Fallout is amazing! As is the full-band re-entry that subsequently ensues.

This is a big bummer because I already own the original release, and was perfectly willing to re-buy it to get the live DVD. But I’m not plopping down the money for one bonus track...even if it is my favorite song of theirs.

I might try to score the original CD/DVD release on EBay at some point.

Online Christmas Bash

In place of the postponed Christmas gigs this year IQ will be hosting an online Christmas Bash where we’ll be ‘live’ streaming another previously unseen show on 12th December (the planned night of the Dutch Christmas Bash). This time we’ll be showing the entire Subterranea concert from the IQ30 weekend in 2011, and the idea is to create, as much as possible, a live gig atmosphere.

To this end the doors will open at 19:30 and we’ll have half an hour of ‘walk-in’ music before the gig where the band will be around to talk to everyone in the chat room. Showtime at 20:00, then after the show we’ll have a ’See you in the bar’ event to chat further, groove mildly with DJ Large Marge and sink a few G&Ts… Get those wings ready and hope to see you all there!

Well, my chances of ever seeing IQ live in my lifetime are slim to none. But I did just receive my copy of A Show of Resistance in the mail. I also took the opportunity to pick up the Subterranea motion picture soundtrack. Whenever I saw it in the online store I would delay buying it because I thought it was just an instrumental album, and a solo album by Michael Holmes at that. I figured  I might pick it up some day, but I was dragging my feet. But then when I actually saw the film and heard Peter Nichols sing on the closing song, I suddenly had to have it.

Also picked up a ASOR T-shirt while I was at it.

Kinda funny that my package from the UK arrived quicker than my new AC/DC album from the east coast.


EDIT - Just listening to that Subterrenea OMPST song "In This Wilderness" again.   Dang, what a fantastic song.  Wish it would have found its way onto an IQ album. I just love Peter's voice.

It really is something special, isn't it? I mean, technically he's an average singer at best, his range is limited and he's starting to show his age for sure, but that tone he hits is just so beautifully aching for the music, it's just perfect. I like to say it cuts right through all the bullshit in me and goes straight to the core of my soul.


Also thanks for reminding me to get the shirt, I wanted one when they posted them, but was at work and didn't have time and then forgot about it lol

It's December, so that means it is time to break out Tales From A Dark Christmas. Who else is spinning this one? I just started my first listen of this one for this season. Definitely one of my favorite Christmas/Holiday albums to play during December!

By the way, great news for everyone who ordered the Frequency vinyl re-issue:
I wrote a mail to the Just For Kicks online shop and they stated that the vinyl orders won't arrive until February.

By now, you can almost count on stuff going wrong with IQ (vinyl) releases. Not blaming them though, I guess it's a problem with the manufacturers.

IQ's set from their first show in almost two years...the Legendary Xmas Bash.


They opened with a Menel song, Wurensh, a great fucking track, drop Narrow Margin in the middle, and closed with Seventh House. This might be one of the best IQ sets I've ever seen.


Wurensh

The Narrow Margin
Stay Down
Widow's Peak
Sold on You
Guiding Light
The Road of Bones

Actually, that setlist wouldn't have knocked my socks off. Narrow Margin is not even in my top 5 of 15min+ songs by IQ. Missile and Stay Down are good, but not the best of what Resistance had to offer. Dark Matter was completely left out. And Last Human Gateway should be performed in its glorious entirety.

Also, I would love to see The Province live. Pity that they never play it. In my opinion, it's probably the best IQ song of all.

Completely agree on The Province. Personally, I just like the shake up of the setlist. I’m counting 4 PL songs? Have they ever done that many in one set with Peter?


EDIT - sorry. I do not see four PL songs on that particular list, but someone at the IQ Facebook fan page is sharing this list.

Quote
Excellent show last night at 229.
Hilarious intro. The band as potato people 🥔😂
Plenty of set list surprises (Narrow Margin!!!) and Mike's tiara of course.
Guiding Light dedication to David Longdon.
Fantastic night.
Here’s the complete set list :
Intro/Wurensh, Frequency, Stay Down, High Waters, The Narrow Margin, No Love Lost, Guiding Light, Widows Peak, For Another Lifetime, The Road Of Bones, A Missile, The Seventh House, The Thousand Days, Sold On You, Drive On, Last Human Gateway (Middle section)
Sorry that some of the usual IQ family of fans couldn't make it. See you in 2022.🎄🎅🏼🐘

I honestly thought that a big announcement like this would get more traction from the IQ fans around here.

This is the biggest release I’ve seen since I became a fan. And it also explains why the full Frequency concert suddenly disappeared from the Frequency re-release. I guess they were holding it back for this.

As much as I'd like it, it's going for $126 after shipping to the US, and while that doesn't seem bad for 12 discs (literally $12.50 a disc), I can't really justify buying it right now, especially with pre-orders going up for both Star One and The Tangent today. Maybe after Christmas, if there are still some left and I happen to get some Christmas cash.

Apparently they are having issues with PayPal and them taking their money, so they posted this on their Facebook...

Quote
PayPal
We’ve had a few people ask recently why we no longer take PayPal payments for the online store - here's our take on it…
Some time ago PayPal started to withhold payments and said they needed proof that the goods had been received. At first this was just for 21 days and concerned one or two transactions they’d picked at random, but it quickly escalated to all payments and longer repayment times. We’ve had quite a few lengthy calls with PayPal to try to understand why this was happening, but we very much got the impression from them that ‘this is what we do now’.
Added to that PayPal charge almost twice as much in commission as credit and debit card companies. Given that income from online merchandise is pretty much what we’ve been relying on to keep the band running these past two years, this higher commission was beginning to have an effect on what we were still able to do as a band.
So, the upshot is our current preferred method of payment is now debit or credit cards, but If you’re unable to pay that way there’s still a few other options – you can:
- pay with Apple Pay, Google Pay or Shop Pay
- pay direct into the IQ bank account (you’ll have to accept the bank charges when paying)
- send us the cash (GBP please) and we will send the order to you when we receive it
- go to your bank (if you don’t have online banking) and make a transfer into the IQ account.
If you're still having problems get in touch with us and we'll see what we can work out together.

I don't know how they can be so proud of winning with them odds. - Little Big Man
