Yes! One of the most criminally underexposed prog bands ever. Love IQ! Take the time and listen to the "Subterranea" album from start to finish - it's a trip worth taking, to say the least. "Frequency" is also amazing.
A masterpiece. The keyboard solo is sublime.
this is the best NewProgressive group of the 80s!!! The best!!!
Thank you for listening to this ... you're the first to do so. Sorry about the typo. This was bassist John Jowitt's first album with IQ. He won bassist of the year so many times that he asked to not be considered again and now sponsors the award. He sadly left the band close to the same time as their brilliant keyboardist Martin Orford. They played together in Jadis for a while during their time in IQ. John went back to Arena for a time. I appreciate your platform for letting a lot of people know the genius of this song. King Crimson's "In The Court of the Crimson King" is considered the first progressive album by many - 1968. If you want to break new ground and be the very first I've seen (and Ive searched) try "The Answer" by Comedy of Errors on the Fanfare and Fantasy album. The whole album is about the loss of the keyboardist's wife and this song is like his recovery. It's amazing and emotional from a Scottish Band who are still relatively unknown. You two are so much fun and you're like Johnny Appleseed ... spreading the seeds of Prog!!
IQ is such an unknown gem. The Seventh House and Born Brilliant are worth a reaction!
Neo prog came in the very late 70s and early eighties with mainly Marillion but also IQ, pendragon or Pallas. The last ten years has seen some of the best from IQ. The Road of Bones was a very good album. Neil Durrant, I think took over keyboards and adds a much heavier fuller sound.
Thanks for giving some love for IQ! They are perhaps my all time favorite band. I enjoy seeing you appreciate the magnificence of IQ.
Great reaction guys, from another top tier prog band, IQ.... Excellent vocalist, somehow reminds me of Peter Gabriel era Genesis, as well as an underrated guitarist in Mike Holmes. As Nick hasn't heard some of the more recent releases, maybe you can both try Frequency (from Frequency), or The Road Of Bones (from The Road Of Bones)... Once again the Live versions on YT are excellent quality... Nick also mentioned Camel, (another prog band from the UK... I'm somewhat biased, and proud of the bands such a small country has produced over the years), they have a huge catalogue of wonderful music. Worth a delve when you guys find the time.... Cheers Bob
Prog started with Sargent Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band. King Crimsons In The Court of the Crimson King was 1968.The Nice (Keith Emerson) were making music in 1966 and became ELP in 1970. Yes's first album was 1968 (play Survival to see how they would progress). The Simon Dupree Big Sound - Kites was a hit in 1967 and they became Gentle Giant. Genesis first album was 1969. and on and on and on.
Thanks for turning me onto this band. I've been listening to prog since the late 60s. Never heard this band before.
What a glorious piece of music. Imperial!
Awesome reaction for a awesome song!!
Thanks, many thanks!!!
IQ Forever!
A quick and very incomplete summary:
Progressive: King Crimson, Yes, EL&P, 70s to '80s Genesis, Some Rush albums, Camel
Neo progressive: Marillion (Fish era), IQ, Arena, Pendragon
IQ relay heavily on early Genesis style, in this song I see a subtle Genesis reference with the lyrics "Breaking the borders, the chaos of life" that to me seems a nod to "Wondering in the chaos the battle has left" from Genesis "Supper's ready" (1972).
IQ keyboardist Martin Orford is a big Tony Banks' fan. His synth solo on "Further away" is reminescent of Tony's solo in Genesis "Down and out" from "And then there were three" Genesis album (1978) . Check it out.
I'm so glad you made this track reaction ! This tune is one of my all time faves, I even use the intro for my phone call ring lol. These guys saved my life one day in 1986 when I acquired their album "The Wake" which imo filled the gap left by Genesis in the 80's as they went more pop oriented than their prog style they embraced during almost the whole 70 decade. Now that I'm sure you'll love their work, please do not forget the challenge I gave you with their "Subterranea" monument. It's so goooooood to share this music with you guys ! Keep up the good work and spreading good taste ;)
Thank you so much for your support! Absolutely love these comments. Such a huge compliment to us to know that our intention of sharing is truly coming through. :) We’re having such a great time and are so thankful for all the support. We will definitely keep your suggestion in mind, promise! :) - Lex
Early progressive rock bands were mostly English, Yes, King Crimson, Genesis, Pink Floyd all were founded in 1967 and 1968. Wonderful early lineage!
They are a grossly underrated band. They should be mentioned along with the kings of the genre. They are one of the bands that have kept progressive music alive over the years. Let me suggest the songs "Frequency" and "The Narrow Margin" as selections you might review in the future. There are so many great ones but, I don't want to get greedy. Thank you for giving them a listen.
It's like a 21-st century Supper's Ready.
IQ is awesome !
Oh yeah! Thanks to react again to IQ.... ;-) I'm so happy you love them that much so soon, reminds me of discovering them with that particular album, back in 1993, after my military duties, helped me to pass over of a very sad break-up with the girl I was in loved with (I was 23). I've got everything from them since, and for the first time their last album seems harder to love than the others, all the others... IQ has this quality to be so good everytime, doing prog, Neo-prog, Genesis-Pink Floyd-King Crimson-Yes-Jethro Tull were the first in the early seventies (The Beatles perhaps the very first on Sergeant pepper's, Magical mystery tour, Abey road). IQ debuts were in 1984, along with Marillion, Pendragon, Twelfth night, Pallas and some others. Camel is more of a seventies follower to Genesis, love them so much too, if you have the time, discover the last 4 albums (Dust and dreams-Harbor of tears- Rajaz-A nod and a wink).... you will love I'm sure 100% ;-)
All my friends I've known on concerts who are in prog fell in love with them instantly when I introduced them to IQ's universe.
Thank you for your support and for sharing! :) - Lex
Discovered IQ a year ago. What a nice encounter. Love it !! Travelled to London to see them live in december, and will see them in PAris in September... How i would like to share this taste with a lovely girlfriend !! ;) lol ...
Camel is symphonic prog but it inspired the neo prog movement as Genesis also did.
nice!! this is epic and I will recommend another prog band called "Jethro Tull", two of their best song are "Aqualung" and "My God", so you can do a reaction, I know you mentioned it in the video but it could be a cool video ;)
I follow IQ from the beginning and "Ever" was that album where I begun to get nuts everytime I heard it. Love it always. "Ever" brought their modern sound... followed by the epic "Subterranea".
Now for Lex, I will recommand to listen to another neo prog band called Pendragon. Every woman who heard to Pendragon love it. Listen to "breaking the spell" or "Learning curve". It might remember you another epic band.
Bands like King Crimson, Genesis, Pink Floyd and Yes started to explore new fields and developed the foundation for what we think of as "prog" arround 1970. Progressive rock wasn't a "style" but an effort to go beyond traditional formats for popular music - taking influences from various styles and genres outside "pop/rock". Rush took influence from those and more.
Jethro Tull started off as blues rock but did more progressive albums further on.
The first progexcursions were of course made before by bands like The Beatles and The Moody Blues.
I saw IQ in 1994 in San Jose’. Enchant opened for them but somehow we missed most of their set because my friends who joined my band Airshift got invited to the lobby to visit with them and we became friends with bass player John Jowitt and he would call us from England because they traded numbers. So 2 years before this John and the keyboard player Martin Orford started another prog band with guitarist singer Gary Chandler called Jadis. If you like IQ you will likewise become a Jadis fan. Their debut More Than Meets The Eye.(1992)
I have been playing Ever a lot lately. IQ had a recent album, Road of Bones, and the title track is still IQ, but a different style in some ways. Very good it is too
IQ - The Road of Bones is a must!!!
This definitely boroughs heavy from Genesis. Check out the whole album of Selling England by the Pound.
Yes absolutely, and Foxtrot while your at it also!
One of their biggest influence for sure. IQ's first album sounds very very like Genesis too...
Great band! Great album!
This is also such a funny band live on stage. Seen them two times and it was a party 🎉
I really miss the legendary Xmas Bash shows in London. Always made me happy for the season.
The Narrow Margin is my favorite from them. I got to see them perform it in 2017 in Quebec City. It was awesome and the whole show was great.
Try "The Dark Christmas Suite" by IQ. They take a whole bunch of Christmas Songs and Carols and blend them together into one, unmistakeable IQ style piece. If you didn't know the songs so well, you would swear this was IQ oiginal music
I adore you both! I love experiencing so many songs again with lovers of music. Such a joy!
Hi guys. Great review and reaction. One of my all time fave bands. Please could you react to their song Until The End next. You will love it if you love being moved by the music 😍
And don't compare them to anyone. They are IQ.
Temazo y discazo de IQ, uno de mis preferidos, a pesar de su horrible caràtula, no representa lo de su interior, muy buena reaccion... Saludos desde Argentina.
Listen to: Nostalgia / Falling Apart At The Seams, The Enemy Smacks from Forever Live. It Bites - Once Around the World and Yellow Christian
Excelente reacción, IQ es una banda que recibió el rock progresivo en los 80$ y continúan hasta ahora. Me gustaría que reaccioran a sus más recientes producciones como road of bones o el resistance que presentan un sonido un tanto más moderno, sin perder obviamente la esencia de IQ. Saludos desde La Paz Bolivia donde se escucha muy poco rock progresivo desafortunadamente y mas si es el actual
Go back in time with IQ. Go to The Last Human Gateway from 1983. That's an epic too from there first period.
Most of the early neo-prog bands (Marillion, Twelfth Night, IQ, Solstice, etc.) started in the late 70s but didn't get to the point of releasing albums and attracting an audience until the early 80s. Marillion got a record deal with EMI/Capitol in '82, which was the brass ring all the other bands were chasing after, but none were able to match. In the case of IQ, they had to wait until '86 to get a deal through a small subsidiary of Mercury Records, but singer Peter Nicholls had already left by then (Ever is his return album.) They went in a more "commercial" direction for the next two albums, which didn't do anyone any favors. The label lost interest and actually imploded, leaving the band stranded. Like a lot of other bands they started their own label (Giant Electric Pea). IQ are a great band, and have an awesome sense of humor despite how serious the music sounds. In the early days they'd pull out songs like "Material Girl" for encores!
Qué belleza, una caricia a los oídos. ¡¡¡Gracias!!!
Love IQ, you have to try Oceans from Road of Bones.
I really like this, thanks so much for the reaction and the new info, much appreciated
So glad you enjoyed! Thanks for your support :) - Lex
Wow, I'm hearing elements of Both Genesis and Cardiacs in this.
One of there best 😊
What a tune! Isn't it?
Also - because of your ending comments, I highly suggest "Field of Fallen Angels" from Martin Orford (the original keyboardist of IQ and this song). It's from his first solo album "Classical Music and Popular Songs." It features his bandmates from Jadis - John Jowitt (bassist of IQ and this song); Steve Christy (drums) and Gary Chandler (guitar and vocals). Martin plays multiple instruments including flute as he did on the beginning of this song. I know you will enjoy. Thanks again for reviewing Further Away!! Love you guys!
Sorry for this late comment to this song, but Neo Prog bands (early 80's to mid-90's) were heavily influenced by middle period Genesis, (Trick of a Tail to Duke). I mean most singers tried to mimic Peter Gabriel/Phil Collins vocally and I think Peter from IQ and Fish from Marillion, for me, were up there at the top. I hope to see more reactions to IQ. And if you really want to try a band that was influenced by prog of the 70's you must listen to The Flower Kings, especially if you want to hear a killer band sounding like classic Yes. I recommend "World of Adventures" off their first album "Back in the World of Adventures". You will not be disappointed. I love you guys and keep up the great work!
Great reaction. Wonderful track by a wonderful band who just keep getting better. John Jowitt the bass player also plays with Arena another great UK prog band. Another great back catalogue to confuse you!!
I enjoy nowadays, what I didn't like in IQ in earlier days : the soft voice of the singer. The music is prog at its best. Talking about soft singers I recommend the band Mystery, their latest album Lies and Butterflies has my 2 favourite tracks Looking for something else, almost 17 min. and Where dreams come alive, more than 7 minutes. Saw them live twice in 2019, great band, great concerts
"We're going to make a lot of IQ videos."
Reminds me of Yes in style but vocals of course are different and the instruments are more 80ish in tone. Changing time signatures sounded like 6/4 and 7/4 late in song
Your next IQ project, Common Ground on Nomzamo.
Random requests? How about Cinema Show by Genesis or the Ever So Closely Guarded Line by Cardiacs? Both are beautiful and will blow you away.
Thanks to you guys I am no0w getting into IQ. The beginning of the song reminded me of Styx and then i was hearing Marillion and even a little Pendragon. I was always on the Rush, Yes, ELP, Genesis side of Prog but this is a nice change of pace that still offers a lot of the prog elements that I enjoy only in a calmer more melodic way.
My first reaction when it was starting was Styx too. The singing voice is different but in the style of Jon Anderson. Interesting
Wow so great to hear. They’re truly becoming some of our faves, too! Like you said it had a familiarity to those bands mentioned but also found it’s own way. Glad you’re enjoying and THANK YOU for sharing. That’s a huge compliment to us! :) - Lex
Los que empezaron el rock progresivo fueron genesis, yes PINK floyd, nuevo rock progresivo marilliion , IQ.
So much Yes and Rush influence all over this!
Good one! Early prog: 21st century schizoid man by King Crimson (1969).
Check out Fates Warning. Songs like Monument, Begin Again, The Eleventh Hour. You won't be disappointed!!
Probably can't play a lot of the newer IQ albums to just anybody - the lyrics are darker than usual (often about the end of the world and death of all souls) and the music is very heavy (interspersed with moments of melodic beauty, of course). But that's part of the band's musical evolution, and it's top notch if you're already a prog fan
I'd also suggest checking out the band Arena. The Visitor would be a good song to start with.
Reaccionen a Astor Piazzolla . O a Oscar Aleman (ambos Argentinos). Saludos!
IQ seems to be such a keyboard-centric band, and that’s why they are growing on me. And Peter Nicholas’ voice cuts through all of the other instruments, making it easy to understand the lyrics. The first time that I heard The Road of Bones, I was hooked on this band.
If you enjoy fretless bass, Jack Bruce from Cream is worth a listen. I love Pino Palladino’s fretless bass on David Gilmour’s solo song called Murder.
A lot of people think that Progressive Rock started with the release of King Crimson’s first album, In The Court of the Crimson King on 10-10-1969. There were releases from bands like Procol Harum, the Moody Blues, and The Nice before then, though. Whenever it started, it’s all good.
This is similar to Camel who was another fantastic prog rock band from the 70s Please react to the song Lunar Sea from the Madness album. It's 9 minutes of bliss.
More IQ, more IQ, more IQ, more IQ... I agree with you.
👍
Love IQ but I only know their album Frequency (Province of the King is wonderful!). If you like keyboard sounds, try the opening overture of TransAtlantic's Whirlwind album. Neal Morse's keyboards are so melodic.
Great IQ track. Looking forward to another Marillion reaction. Gaza live or studio, for an epic.
New group to me... very Proggy.. cool
Can i suggest a reaction to IQ the darkest hour from the ever album
Welcome to my world 😉
Intro reminds me of Goblin.
I’m about to dive in after watching your Marillion reaction. Question, though - ¿hay algunas bandas de prog que cantan en español que recomendarían? Siempre puedo usar la práctica. :)
No son siempre prog, pero me gusta Mägo de Oz, de España. Son parte Iron Maiden, parte música tradicional de Escocía y Irlanda, y parte Spinal Tap. La canción Fiesta Pagana es una introducción buena, o quizás La Polla Dura No Cree en Dios. 😜🙄
Conocemos Mago de Oz muy bien!
We’re barely getting deeper into Spanish prog but SO many have recommended a band named Invisible so we’re definitely going to check them out. From what we’ve heard it’s more 70’s prog, which sounds awesome. Son de Argentina🇦🇷.
We recently did a reaction to one of the members, Luis Alberto Spinetta and fell in love. The one we did was a bit more bluesy but Invisible is said to be prog. Check out the Spinetta reaction, but first check Te Para Tres - Soda Stereo reaction. In that order and tell me what you thought. :)
Saludos, Lex!
@@NicknLex !Gracias! Voy a verlos. I saw Mägo live a few years ago here in Washington DC, along with Rata Blanca. It was a fun show, and it had all sorts of people. One dude had an inverted cross tattooed on his neck, and he was next to a couple of teenagers who looked like they were on a first date to a pop concert.
Oui oui. Un des splus grands groupe progressif...
. Malheureusement... Méconnu dommage ❤ love iq
Like neo-prog?!? Try anything from Galahad, perhaps the best prog band name ever!!! ...
Proto prog goes back to the Wilde Flowers, Pink Floyd and even The Beatles. Soft Machine, Caravan, and even Gong came out or The Wilde Flowers. Soft Machine was the first heavy keyboard band before The Nice and Strawbs as far as I know.
Try Nothing at all guys.
Dream Theatre are a complete car crash. Progressive ROCK, began in the late 60,s, file that away. The originals, Genesis, Yes, King Crimson, Elp, . Rush appeared years after. Progressive ROCK was not Tull, they are folk heavy rock. Progressive ROCK is a British phenomenon as is heavy rock/ metal. Everything after, blues and jazz infused rock is simply borrowed. End of story. Pink Floyd were never a progressive leader. They were an indefinable entity. Brilliant.
Progressive ROCK UK style is getting on a majestic journey. You have to fully listen to the lyrics, that's where the message is. Every single rock band from UK has been replicated elsewhere.
