Thank you.  I had gone to that site from your link from a month ago and didn't find it.  I see it now using the catalogue number.  Unfortunately, that is way too expensive for my blood.  $26 USD is crazy when normal prices are $10 to $16 for new CDs.  I think that I will have to keep an eye open for it since it is the last of their albums that I don't have.

Some of it is quite good.  Although the second disc with the original version is pretty bad as far as sound quality goes.  Interesting to hear Martin O. with lead vocal duties with IQ though.  Worth picking up for sure if you can find it at a reasonable price. 
I can understand your anger at me, but what did the horse I rode in on ever do to you?

US fans of IQ might want to note that they have been booked for ROSfest this coming spring.

I am pretty new to, well, prog music. When I went to my local record store and asked one of the clerks (real prog freak) which albums he recommended, I went home a copy of Dark Matter. I haven't really explored it a lot since then, but I will be doing that the first thing in the morning. Wish me luck people, I am ready to love it.

I am listening to J'al Pollette D'arnu as I type this.  This has some decent songs on it.

IQ have been a recent discovery and I am loving them. Next week I am getting Dark Matter in the mail, I'm very excited.

I reckon that to be Peter Nicholls best album for both lyrics and vocals.Very tight album which consolidates IQ sound and style.
Do you like the track Shooting Angels? Seems to divide fans. I like it personally.

I just gave Shooting Angels another listen since I am very bad at matching song titles with the actual songs.  Yes, I liked it.  I didn't have any problems with it at all  Good song.

IQ introduced me to neo prog too (beyond Marillion). Well, 80s neo prog anyways. To my ears IQ's Tales from the Lush Attic is the most 'proggy' of the neo-prog debuts. The Last Human Gateway is really an impressive track. :D

I recently purchased the remastered anniversary version of 'The Wake'. Does anyone else actually prefer the first CD version? The treble is far too high, to my ears at least. Sometimes it's a bit unpleasant, which is something I don't often experience. On the other hand some things have been cleared up in this version. The drums sound clearer (they seemed to be a bit "muddled" before) and the instruments seem a bit more separated. It sounds broader and not as 'narrow' as the old version did.
