"Dark Matter" was my first IQ disc (the only one I could pick up in the States), and I LOVE it. Fantastic all the way through.  I have gone on to purchase "The Wake" and "Seventh House" at import prices.  I will at some point pick up "Ever" an

Are you fighting for the freedom of others or for oil now that your contracts with Saudi Arabia are in danger?

Well I digested it all and while Harvester of Souls has it's moments, i wasn't exactly bowled over by the tune. The anti-America message doesn't bug me too much. I am starting to realize it is fashionable to bash America in Europe, so they 're just jump

Peter I didn't imply you to be naive (and I know your Canadian).

Anywhoa. Sorry if anything I say or think offend anybody. There's always the possibility of not reading what you don't want to read or know about.
