Tales From The Lush Attic

by IQ

supported by

Sven B. Schreiber (sbs) The gem of the 80s, finally as it always should have sounded! Completely reworked and remixed by Mastermind Michael Holmes. It also contains a wonderful, properly recorded version of the Nicholls/Holmes ballad "Wintertell", which was dropped in favor of Orford's "My Baby..." piano solo - the demo can be found on "The Lost Attic". Favorite track: Wintertell.

kit750 Great debut album, my first introduction to IQ. Been a big fan ever since! Delighted to now own most of their collection. Brilliant band 👍 Favorite track: The Last Human Gateway.

about

IQ's Impressive debut album featuring the fan favourites 'The Last Human Gateway' and 'The Enemy Smacks'. This is the 2011 remix where producer Mike Holmes was finally able to give the album the treatment he'd always wanted to (but ran out of time in the studio in 1983 "because we were poor...").

Includes the bonus track 'Wintertell', a 2011 recording of the fabled missing track from the original release.

In the wake of buying the Welcome To The Planet I also went for this older "EP" (clocking in on 70 minutes a rather big big EP...) as a final farewell to a very bright bright star that sadly doesn't shine anymore. Carsten Pieper

The album takes off nicely with David Longdon's "The Strangest Times", but then gets into immediate free fall and deeply underwater for the next few tracks, quite unexpectedly. Fortunately, it recovers with Nick D'Virgilio's "Apollo" (hey, this guy CAN write good music, although he hides this ability most of the time) and the remaining three tracks, one of which is another Longdon masterpiece. So in the end the final impression is somewhat in the positive range. Sven B. Schreiber (sbs)

Such an amazing album, but unfortunately it's hard to find on vinyl. Luckily this version has a couple bonus tracks which is nice. If you enjoy prog rock you're gonna love this! DanClapp
