Fallout (19:55) Total Time 108:37 Line-up / Musicians - Peter Nicholls / vocals - Mike Holmes / guitar - Neil Durant / keyboards - Tim Esau / bass - Paul Cook / drums From www.progarchives.com Resistance Album – IQ Review by friso PROG REVIEWER “English neo-progressive rock spear-header IQ has been furthering the genre in the 21th century with much acclaim. Sound-wise the band hasn't changed much since ' The Seventh House', but on this album the band has finally revolutionized their composition style, arrangements and production. The symphonic layering by Neil Durant has this adult feel, reminding me of 'Tilt' era Scott Walker or 'Blackstar' era Bowie ' yet drenched in a Bladerunner like delicate sci-fi universe. Somehow this album sounds like a collaboration of the band IQ and... well a new 'force' that can look beyond its songs, its verses, its solo's and its refrains. Because of this 'force' the band has also given new meaning to the prog epic. On 'Resistance' a prog epic isn't just a multi- song. Don't take me wrong ' I really like a track like 'The Narrow Margin' ' but on this album the longer tracks really make sense from a songwriting point of view. Bare with me. Like a in a small song, where a bridge can add to strengthening the final refrain ' IQ manages to intelligently intervene and keep the song growing towards that final refrain. Furthermore, the first cd, which is 'the album', flows like a continues experience. Almost like a movie, including some modern cinematic sound-effects. What also becomes apparent after a few spins is the absence of leaning on catchy refrains, which gives the music a modern feel ' at times almost hinting at modern classical music. Peter Nicholl's voice doesn't allow for much variation, but because of the distinctive atmospheres of the songs his performances do tick the box every time. This material doesn't need catchy line A or B, it needs a performer. The rhythm section of the band has found a perfect balance between fusion styled sophistication and adding to the effectiveness of the material. Guitar player Mike Holmes somehow comes off as a bit left behind in the old IQ with his Marillion/Floyd styled guitar solo's. On acoustic guitar his contributions strike me as more imminent ' like on 'Perfect Space'. If the band ever aims to top this album in the future ' which would prove extremely difficult I guess - the electric guitar will need to contribute in more diverse ways. Now about that second disc, which I will describe in a bit more detail because most reviewers will probably focus on the first disc. If that were an album; the 22 minute 'The Great Spirit Way' alone would suffice for an indispensable purchase. Personally, I think this song is placed right after the rather dark and soundtrack-like first disc because it matches best stylistically. 'Fire and Security' is a more traditional IQ piece ' albeit a bit bleak - with a balled type opening, some darker passages and a melancholy ending section with some strong lead guitars. On 'Perfect Space' the band drives its jazz/fusion influences to the max, which will perhaps turn of some ' but I like it. The second epic, the 20 minute 'Fallout' is a bit more relaxing, abstract and dreamy. In its second halve the band experiments beautifully with sophisticated chord progressions, which also allows for Holmes' most interesting guitar solo. Conclusion. Without a doubt this will become the progressive album of 2019 and I hope it will inspire a lot of other neo-progressive bands to elaborate and expand on their Marillion/Genesis/Floyd roots and take the music to a next level of artistry. This album will probably outshine the nostalgic likings of many of its listeners, but it may also attract listeners that have previously written off the neo-prog genre. Can't wait to receive my 3LP version of this grand album.” “Without a doubt this will become the progressive album of 2019” waiting to confirm these great impressions by listening to the entire album A Missile ....in the official version of the album Much more effective than the live version, listen to night of prog, london and stockholm https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WjSahsKfrhQ Good Listening RESISTANCE - UPDATE "There seems to be some malevolent, anti-prog force in the ether recently! As you may have gathered we’ve had quite a few problems with the pressing of the new album ‘Resistance’. The idea was that all the pre-orders would be safely delivered a week before the official release date, but unfortunately that date had to be amended because we ran out of time in the studio and had to spend another two weeks mixing. After that we went ahead and pressed an initial run of 10,000 CDs only to find that there was a problem with disc one and they ALL had to be repressed! We discovered this the day AFTER the launch gig in Islington where we had already sold a considerable amount of CDs (if you bought a copy there we’re happy to replace disc one for you if you get in touch via the GEP site). On the vinyl side of things we were HOPING that we’d have the vinyl delivered to us by now, and naturally delivered out to all the pre-orders, but of course the studio had a knock on effect with that pressing and, as you may know, the world of vinyl pressing moves veerry slooowly indeed… we’re still waiting for delivery of the vinyl and will do all we can to make sure we get them out to everyone as quickly as possible. So, apologies to all of you who have pre-ordered Resistance - we’ve had a few ‘enquiries’ about the delay and we do understand how frustrating it is! We’ve heard that all the CD pre-orders have now been posted (with the shiny new repressings) and once the vinyl arrives we’ll make a special effort to get it out to you, barring the odd cup of tea of course. The new, official, official release date for the CDs is now 11th October (yes, still 2019…) and the vinyl release date is, er, when we get ‘em (we’re told ‘mid to late October’ by the pressing plant)."

Re: Intelligent-Quozient
To confirm the fact that Mike Holmes loves to try new songs in concert to check the reaction of the audience and if necessary make changes, I found 4 songs present in the new album Resistance 2 performed in July 2019 at the Night of the Prog already reported previously "A Missile" and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fe2fCTXB7do which we can now say is "From Another Lifetime" last track of the first CD And 2 at the 2017 Christmas show https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=be7lsBw8aWI which we can now say is "Fire and Security" second track of the second CD and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F3AJfG7450E which we can now say is "Fallout" the last track of the second CD it is certainly the track that has undergone the most changes and in a very positive sense becoming the best track of the album Needless to say, the definitive versions are far superior to these tests by Mike Holmes Resistance also removes any doubts about Neil Durant, his contribution was remarkable and consecrates him an essential element of this group.

Re: Intelligent-Quozient
I have always seen concerts in large structures or at most in large theaters ... It is the first time that I see a concert in a shed (measured with google earth ... I didn't bring the meter from home ... ) 30 meters long and 16 meters wide which must be removed in length 7, 8 meters for the stage and at least 4.5 meters in width for the bar, the remaining space occupied by tables and less than 1000 people, a place where you can eat well ... A place where the previous reviews have been read, no one has ever complained about how the music is heard and I can also confirm it ... apart from the first 3.4 minutes ... maybe the result of a pre-concert soundcheck made with the empty room ... with some corrections the sound has become excellent in addition to the non-existent distance between the public and the group… .. all extremely positive things…. And yet I still don't understand what IQ are doing in a room with these characteristics ... a place that has a calendar of events mainly occupied by Covers of famous groups and emerging groups…. a group like IQ with a long discography full of creativity and quality should be more ambitious and not claim to be "extremely lazy". In Rome for example if they were to be allergic to large premises there is a structure built specifically for music and it is the Parco della Musica Auditorium with about 3000 seats with exceptional acoustics and certainly more suited to their value ... in some time the Jethro Tull and the Van der Graaf Generator will use it. The concert took place following the schedule of the first London concert, skipping a few tracks, playing almost all the songs on the first Resistance CD and returning at the end of the concert beyond 24:00 on stage for just one more track ... unfortunately it certainly has influenced the fact of having to do another concert the next day in Milan As for the album resistance, I recommend listening to it several times before judging it ... it is the classic prog album that does not immediately take place, it happened to me as to many other people reading so many other reviews and the change of opinion occurred for many starting from listening to Rise while for me and others from fallout to appreciate then everything else ... two tracks for me are below the other "if Anything" and "Fire and Security" but maybe for others the judgment will be different IQ ... 1993 ... 1997 ... 2000 ... 2004 ... 2009 ... 2014 ... 2019. It may take another 4 or 5 years before the next album is released and the album title could also be interpreted as an invitation to the Resistance for their fans Last edited by nicola : 10-18-2019 at 03:19 AM. |

Re: Intelligent-Quozient
IQ was supposed to play earlier this year in Uden in the Netherlands and Nancy in France but Covid had these 2 dates canceled…. and then seeing that at the Colos-Saal in Aschaffenburg, Germany on January 24th, 2020 had recorded the concert to compensate those who wanted to see them, they decided to stream the concert from in Aschaffenburg, Germany and this happened on May 24th… unfortunately I only come to know it now and it was not the only streaming IQ released and lost by me, the other was on October 24th After streaming in May they claimed: "After the incredible reaction to the recent live streaming of our Show Of Resistance concert, we decided to make it available on a limited edition double CD as part of the Archive Collection series," says the band. The double CD includes all 2 hours and 15 minutes of music from the video and comes in a 6-frame digi file (no digipak - no plastic used!) with a 4-page booklet and introductory text by Peter Nicholls. The £ 12 proceeds from this release will help the band recoup some of the losses we've made this year by having to cancel gigs. We hope to have copies in early July, but it's available for presale on the IQ website now . " Live, released in 2020 Songs / Tracks Listing CD 1 (71:25) 1. Alampandria (3:24) 2. Sacred Sound (12:01) 3. Shallow Bay (7:09) 4. From the Outside In (9:07) 5. Stay Down (9:35) 6. The Last Human Gateway (22:00) 7. Frequency (8:09) CD 2 (62:25) 1. For Another Lifetime (15:52) 2. The Road of Bones (9:27) 3. A Missile (7:45) 4. Further Away (16:32) 5. Ten Million Demons (6:33) 6. Subterranea (6:16) Total Time 133:50 - Peter Nicholls / lead & backing vocals - Michael Holmes / guitars - Neil Durant / keyboards - Tim Esau / bass, bass pedals - Paul Cook / drums, percussion Recorded live at the Colos-Saal in Aschaffenburg, Germany on January 24th, 2020 Following the remarkable success of the stream on May 22, they said: "After the positive feedback we've had since then, we went through some of the archives to see what else we can do to reconnect and found some footage of the band playing the entire Ever album live in Germany in 2018. Audio is It was released as part of the Ever 25th Anniversary package, but the video has never been used or seen until now, so hopefully it will be something people will enjoy and that we can all share the live experience together again. " The "Ever Live Stream" was broadcast on YouTube Live on Saturday 24 October at 20:00 (BST). Unfortunately, I lost both streams and I will see that I am more careful from now on And to retrieve a news in advance I can give it…. I'm talking about the show that IQ will do in September In London to celebrate their 40 years of activity from which the show will surely extract a brilliant CD perhaps also containing some new songs. Neo-proggers IQ have announced a live show to celebrate their 40th anniversary next year. They will play London's Islington Assembly Hall on September 4. "Crikey, 40 years (well, next year)! We'd love to see you all there to celebrate with us," the band say" Get tickets for the Islington Assembly show. https://www.ticketweb.uk/event/iq-is...z7h 23ixrg1k0 the prices of their shows are always very low for a show that is worth much more than the pounds spent IQ will also play their traditional Christmas Show 229 Club, London, Friday 10th December & De Boerderij, Zoetermeer, Saturday 11th December. From 04 September the IQ40 Tour will start Last edited by nicola : 11-21-2020 at 04:44 AM. |

Re: Intelligent-Quozient
A Pleasant Surprise
I was looking for a place to listen to the live version of "Further Away" from the new "A Show of Resistance" curious how Neil Durant had colored it with his keyboards rich in mellotron and atmospheres Instead, I encounter a long track from an album I didn't know existed "Tales From A Dark Christmas" An album initially thought by the IQ as purchasable only in their Christmas Shows which they care in particular that they punctually re-propose every year where they often also experiment with new songs and instead after it was released not as a studio album but as a collection album but quality is very high and "The Dark Christmas Suite" 20:31 is a track that should be highlighted and not hidden in the collection series https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rOLxCUucgXI GOOD LISTENING In my opinion, yet another excellent long track of IQ less and less identifiable in Michael Holmes alone as the predominant instrumentalist but increasingly a true group and I think that the entry of Neil Durant has contributed a lot to this change.

Re: Intelligent-Quozient
Curiosity of the IQ components extracted from
an interview published on their website official , some of which are not easily understood. FIRST ALBUM BOUGHT: MICHAEL HOLMES The Beatles – Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band. The genius of that album is that The Beatles were breaking all sorts of boundaries with the music (wildly varying styles, different modes, experimental arrangements and instrumentation) and at the same time the songs were soooo catchy – enough to please an eight year old kid (me) and the most seasoned muso. But even when they strayed towards cheese it was done in such a quality,accessible way. And the melodies… PETER NICHOLLS ‘Up To Date’ by The Partridge Family, in 1971. Having played ‘I Think I Love You’ to within an inch of its life, it was time to take the big step into the madly exhilarating world of the LP. ‘Up To Date’ was the first record I bought with my own money, after saving up for several weeks. What a moment, finally handing over my £2.15, again downstairs in the rock & pop department but this time at Forsyth’s on Deansgate (still there) and then clutching my very first LP. My Dad was with me, bless him. He was always there at these pivotal moments in my early life. TIM ESAU Can’t exactly remember but…. I always got an LP for Christmas as a kid, the likes of ‘Slayed?’ – Slade (1972) and ‘Kimono My House’ – Sparks (1974). I really think that my formative interests in music were given a massive boost by Sparks, particularly when I picked up their two early US ‘pre-UK success’ releases (produced by Todd Rundgren on the Bearsville label) a short time later. PAUL COOK I think this would be a Slade album, not sure which one though. Followed by some more Slade albums which were roughly the same. I liked the straight ahead style of their music with the incredibly powerful vocals from Noddy… that's the singer, not the very popular puppet... perhaps we should have favourite puppet listed. NEIL DURANT "Selling England By The Pound" by Genesis. Some would describe it as one of the best Genesis albums, and possibly one of the most influential albums in the world of progressive rock. It has so many great moments, especially for a budding keyboard player to cut their teeth on learning;the challenging piano intro of "Firth of Fifth", the timeless synth solos in "Cinema Show",the many changes in time and mood of "The Battle of Epping Forest". I played it to death, and learnt a fair amount of my early keyboard technique from analysing it. LAST ALBUM BOUGHT: MICHAEL HOLMES Thomas Newman - 1917 Original Soundtrack. Love Thomas Newman compositions, particularly his piano stuff (with that amazing sound) but this is a little different for him – really helps to elevate the film IMHO. The first track ‘1917’ is over far too quickly. PETER NICHOLLS I just ordered the new Psychedelic Furs album ‘Made of Rain’, their first studio album in almost 30 years. I’ve seen them live a couple of times recently and their back catalogue is brilliant: ‘Love My Way’, ‘Pretty In Pink’, Heaven’, ‘The Ghost In You’. Fantastic songs. When we were recording ‘Fascination’ on our first cassette album ‘Seven Stories Into Eight’, I tried to emulate Richard Butler’s gravelly voice. Needless to say, I failed! TIM ESAU Hopefully I haven’t bought the last one yet! Can’t exactly remember the most recent because…. In these days of streaming it’s been so long since I actually ‘bought an album’ in the ‘old’ way. It may well have been ‘We Like it Here’ by Snarky Puppy. I streamed loads of their stuff but for some reason bought this one. I still prefer watching them live though - saw them a couple of years back - amazing! PAUL COOK Well that would be “Giants Of All Sizes” by Elbow. The band I still haven't seen, even though I love them deeply. This is in part because I'm too lazy to get myself out of Scotland most of the time due to it being so bleedin' far north. But also, we have missed two concerts in Scotland, one due to the “Beast from the East” and another because of some nasty pandemic. NEIL DURANT "The Legendary Prestige Quintet Sessions" by The Miles Davis Quintet. Ok, it took me a while to get round to buying this one, as the songs date back to 1958, but it's a beauty. A collection of great pieces from one of the finest jazz lineups - Miles Davis (trumpet), John Coltrane (tenor sax), Red Garland (piano), Paul Chambers (bass) and Philly Joe Jones (drums). I've always loved the dusky feel of Miles Davis, and the colourful fireworks of Coltrane, and they contrast beautifully together. FAVOURITE ALBUM: MICHAEL HOLMES Come on, that’s a horrible thing to ask – how can you pick just one? At this point in time (i.e. 13:05 on a Tuesday afternoon) I’m gonna go with Steely Dan (duh!) – The Royal Scam. A band in transition is always an interesting prospect and this was their ‘from rock to jazz’ midway point, at the same time infused with huge amounts of funk. It was the perfect precursor to ‘Aja’ which set new standards for cool and is wonderful of course, but for me The Royal Scam has such a great ‘analogue-type’ feel and, more importantly, groove! Check out Larry Carlton’s brilliant, uplifting solo on Kid Charlemagne – and it’s not even my favourite solo on the album! PETER NICHOLLS It will always be ‘The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway’ by Genesis, for many reasons. The music and lyrics, obviously - flawless, in my opinion. The vision and courage of the whole piece, songs joined together by interlinking musical passages, the recorded performances, just the sound of the album, the intriguing photographic artwork. And then the live show. Seeing the album performed live in April 1975 had a profound impact on me. The show was the most exciting and inspirational experience I’d had and is still my favourite concert of all time. TIM ESAU Depends very much on what I’m listening to at the time the question is asked and how much red wine has been consumed in the run up to that point. I also think that my favourite albums are intrinsically tied to sentimental memories of the times and events that surrounded me when I first heard them. Around the time I passed my driving test (July 1979) and managed to buy an old rusty Ford Escort van (with a cassette player - whooop!) I listened to the few tapes I had over & over again, such as ‘Heavy Weather - Weather Report’, ‘Breakfast in America - Supertramp’, ‘After the Gold Rush - Neil Young’ and ‘Hejira - Joni Mitchell’ but above all, one by a band with whom I was obsessed at the time and remain a fanboy today - ‘The Tubes - Young and Rich’ (1976). PAUL COOK Well this is a tricky one as you can imagine... lets go with “Very Tall” by Oscar Peterson. It's the most played album for me over the years. Lovely vibe playing by Milt Jackson. NEIL DURANT Pete beat me to choosing "The Lamb", so for the sake of variety I'd have to go with "Master Strokes" by Bruford. Such a great record of a band in their prime, obviously enjoying what they do immensely. Bill Bruford teeters on that fine line between prog and jazz/fusion, combining great jazzy grooves with a whole swathe of different feels and time signatures. It's such a colourful, intricate and varied set of songs, and has been a persistent favourite of mine for decades.A great showcase also for Jeff Berlin, Alan Holdsworth, Dave Stewart,and the Sequential Circuits Prophet 5. FAVOURITE MUSICIAN (YOUR INSTRUMENT): MICHAEL HOLMES That’s gonna have to be Neil Young! I know he’s not the fastest or the most technically ‘gifted’ musician in the world but really, who cares about technique? I want to be moved by the guitar and that’s the effect Neil Young’s playing has on me. PETER NICHOLLS What I love in a singer is someone who makes it look effortless. They open their mouth and this beautiful, unique sound comes out. I can’t pick one favourite male singer, it has to be the two Davids, Cassidy and Bowie. Female singer, the sublime Kristina Train, whom I adore. TIM ESAU I must admit I really do like to listen to and watch a lot of technically whizzy masters of bass guitar simply for their sheer ‘cleverness’ and individual techniques including playing way too many notes in too short a space of time in weird and wonderful ways. Mostly Jazz Rock stalwarts such as Stanley Clarke, Jaco Pastorius, Jeff Berlin, Victor Wooten, Pino Palladino, Percy Jones and Michael League of the aforementioned Snarky Puppy etc. etc. But if I narrow it down to favourite bass players from within the same general genre as the one inhabited by IQ, I would say that Mike Rutherford’s playing in early Genesis is very melodic and ‘classically’ supportive as is Ray Schulman’s of Gentle Giant. Number one though is Tony Levin - the right notes, in the right quantity, in all the right places and he has that ‘bald head and Musicman 5 string bass’ look about him – he’s so cool - ahhhemmm! PAUL COOK This is really easy for me. The magnificent Buddy Rich all the way. Biggest influence for me as I was growing up listening to my father’s choice of music, mostly. The problem I had was I could never be as good as Buddy... but then who could? NEIL DURANT So many to choose from, across multiple genres, but I think I might have to opt for Bill Evans. To me, he defined how to play jazz piano in the most tasteful way. A master of choosing the most interesting or expressive notes, and the most fascinating of chord structures, but never in a showy way, and always with the song as the main focus.One could spend a lifetime studying his work and never run out of things to learn and inspiration to be had. FIRST CONCERT ATTENDED: MICHAEL HOLMES Led Zeppelin, Southampton Gaumont, January ’73. I took the morning off school (with my form tutor’s permission!) to queue for tickets at the princely sum of £1! I remember it being veeery loud! PETER NICHOLLS David Cassidy at Belle Vue, Manchester, in March 1973. I couldn’t hear too much because of the incessant screaming (some of the girls were even louder!) but it was utterly thrilling and has stayed with me forever. I attended the concert alone but my Dad drove me there and collected me afterwards. There were concerns at the time because one of the balconies started to loosen under the weight of all those excited stamping feet. When I was lucky enough to meet DC a few years later, he remembered that. What an amazing man. TIM ESAU Richie Blackmores Rainbow, September 1976, Southampton Gaumont Theatre. I was 15. Apparently Cozy Powell's car broke down on the way to this gig and he had to thumb a lift. I, on the other hand, just got the bus. PAUL COOK I’m really not sure I can remember so far back in time... but it’s probably the Buddy Rich Big Band at Fairfield Hall Croydon, early 70’s. NEIL DURANT Genesis, on the "Mama" tour in 1984. Perhaps not their greatest album,but to see such a favourite band of mine at the time, along with tens of thousands of other fans, as a first gig, was breathtaking. The high point was possibly "In That Quiet Earth". I remember the two points in the track where the band stop silent for a few beats, and you could just hear the sound of the band reverberating around the venue for those silent moments; it sounded huge! LAST CONCERT ATTENDED: MICHAEL HOLMES I tend to go to the theatre more these days and I’m finding it quite difficult to remember the last gig I went to! It would have been Manuel Gottsching performing ‘New Age of Earth’ at the Barbican on 4th April this year, but as we all know all live stuff was put on hold for a while… I guess it’s *probably* Nearly Dan, the Steely Dan tribute act, at the Jazz Café. Do tribute bands count? BTW the last musical I saw was ‘Dear Evan Hansen’ which was mildly disappointing after all the hype. PETER NICHOLLS ‘A Bowie Celebration’, a show put together by Mike Garson, DB’s piano player and featuring a band comprised of musicians who had worked with the great man at various times. They played the whole of ‘Diamond Dogs’, my favourite Bowie album, and a galaxy of hits and rare tracks. A splendid time was had by all. TIM ESAU Imogen Heap, The Sage Gateshead. I really like Imogen Heap and in particular her technical performance innovations (check out her MiMU gloves). However,at this gig I fell foul of the modern scourge of thinking I’d bagged us great seats near the front and centre only to be blasted by a very ‘drum heavy’ mix all night due to lack of decent PA distribution. I complained most sternly to myself! PAUL COOK Shooglenifty at the Universal Hall, Findhorn, early 2020. A wonderful folk-rock band with some almost proggy edges to them. NEIL DURANT "The Musical Box", at the London Palladium. A fantastic gig, played with great power and authenticity, focusing on tracks from "Seconds Out", along with some surprises from Genesis' very early days. Great to see bands play at the legendary home of acts like Cliff Richard, Bruce Forsyth, and Tommy Cooper!

Link to connect Saturday to the IQ EVENT https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TPNE...ture=emb_title from the official IQ website "SUBTERRANEA 2011 CONCERT ‘LIVE STREAM’ 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!"
