THE SEVENTH HOUSE

This album was my itroduction to IQ, and I must sadly say that I'm sorry I didn't purchase it earlier. The band is obviously influenced by GENESIS and YES. Keyboard and piano is dominating with some strong guitar from time to time, both electric and acoustic and it has a clear vocal from P. Nichols. It contains 6 songs which you can sit down and relax and enjoy. Excellent production throughout the album. Mr. Nichols certainly sounds like P. Gabriel but I think he still keeps his integrity and can be proud of it. I can highly recommend it to any fan of GENESIS and YES. Never the less I think it stands on its own feet almost as and "must have album" if you want to listen to one of the album GENESIS didn't make before -77.
