Two songs perfectly connected to end this grand neo prog journey... Thanks for watching! 🥰
Brilliant songs, great album
Cool, glad you like! Thanks a million as always Kevin. Have a great night/day!
Oh, dude! You've picked one of my top 5 albums of the '90s! What a beautiful melody on "Came Down!" So lilting. So haunting.
Hey! Top 5, that's awesome! So glad I did one of your faves. Since I too watch lots of reactors, I know it's a nice feeling 🙂 Thanks so much for watching and for being first here today! 🥇
I loved it so much I just watched a live performance. It was BEAUTIFUL. 2018.
No way! I just did the same, but the one I saw was Leap of Faith live from 2005. They are amazing live!!!
@@retroreactions.... yeah, I watched Came Down 2018. Goosebumps.
Oh man the BASS line! Effing gorgeous!
That always gets you like the strings get me haha!
@@retroreactions.... yup! You got it! 😁😘
I've been now listening to this for over 30 years and guess what... never get fed up and I probably never will. I'm so glad you gave answer to my demand. Keep on travelling through this band's work, I swear it's no wasting time. I'd like to see you react to Common Ground from 1987 album Nomzamo. Different singer here but still very good and the music remains powerful. Looking forward to seeing you delightfuly react to some more IQ. Cheers !
Hey Alex! Was happy as always to get back into more IQ. Too much music from them, not enough time! Added another vote for Common Ground. Why did I think that it has always been the same lead singer from their start till now? So many bands here I guess it's hard to keep track 🙂 Cheers my friend!
Dropping in for IQ. 👋👋. Sounds Great! Good choice, and thanks Brandon. You’ve got a great channel here for all lovers of prog. 😁
Hello and thanks for stopping by 💙
Me wonders if you would like tomorrow's reaction. Already filmed.....
Only one word MEMORIES. I see this iconic Band in Hannover at a smal stage. One of the best concerts in my life. Grettings from northern Germany 🤘 🤘
Hello from the USA! So nice that you got to see this band in person. They are wonderful. I see they are performing again in Germany next year!! Thanks so much for watching 😊
@@retroreactions.... Fun fact, in this concert, i meet the Singer in her pause. He was very humble.
Awesome!
Nice!! Love the keyboard and piano in "Leap of faith". 🎹💙🎵🎶🎶To me, he has a very unique voice.
Yes, super unique voice and of course music that's right up our alleys! I think you will like tomorrow's song... Something very unique!!
Oh....Interesting. 😀
Ever, best album of IQ !!
Nice….I like when IQ gets their turn. Definitely a great album ender! Haven’t heard these in quite a while. I’m enjoying the week so far.
Me too! Definitely 1 artist that I wish could have a weekly or monthly spot, for more rapid discovery.... But as you know there are about 50 artists that I want to have a weekly spot LOL...Cool, let's see....I'd put money that you'll be happy with the picks for the next 3 days haha....
IQ my favorite neo prog band. So many masterpiece.
Songs from "Ever", my favourite IQ album (although "Subterranea" comes quite close). Peter Nicholls' vocals have indeed improved greatly since the early days - you can't tell here without the video but he can be quite the showman too! Thanks for featuring these two tracks: they're the perfect tandem for an album closer. 🐝
There you are 😊 Love my late night watchers haha! Excited to get back to Subterranea asap. Why didn't I think to watch an IQ music vid? Will look it up now. Thanks for the reminder. As usual, both songs were buzzin' great!! 😉
Watching...Wow he sings great live too! Video is a bit blurry, but Peter looks a bit like Neil Tennant of Pet Shop Boys in this video 😮
@@retroreactions.... If it's the 2018 video (with suit & tie) I can see why he reminds you of Neil Tennant. By then he' mellowed a lot compared to his early days, when he showed up in funny costumes and make-up, a legacy from Peter Gabriel no doubt 🙂
Wow, he was theatrical too? Nice. The performance I watched was from 2005 I believe from their DVD titled "Stage"..
You had me at " IQ "...
Two letters is all it takes sometimes 😁
Man. So cool. Listening thru vintage McIntosh tube gear! INCREDIBLE!
To my ears , such shades of Marillion! Anybody else hear that?
Totally!!
IQ, Marillion, Pallas, Twelfth Night, Pendragon are all bands from the same time, creating then so called neo progressive rock.
Always delighted when you react to IQ. Been a fan for...well I have been a fan of IQ for a very long time. Never understood why they wern't more popular. I suspect in a couple hundred years teenaged students will ask why they have to listen to IQ, Marillion, Yes, Peter Gabriel Genesis and Pink Floyd in their "Theory Of Music" classes
Thanks Stephanie...me too! I hope IQ and countless others are still remembered and cherished in say 200 years, even 100...that would be incredible!! Thanks for stopping by 😊
Agree. Add Tool and possibly Dream Theater or Porcupine Tree.
I have to get in gear and add Dream Theater to the channel, based on recent conversations here....
@@retroreactions.... Might also consider the early work of a Los Angeles Prog band "Spocks Beard" And there is Arena and Pallas and Jadis .....lions and tigers and bears OH my!
@@stephaniemarx9162 yeah I e heard of Spock’s Beard. Jazz fusion?
Awesome, two of my favorites! 👌😎👍 "Came Down" is a very "somber but triumphant processional" IMHO, like you say could be used in a movie, maybe where the heroes/survivors of a war or disaster are leaving for or arriving home with relief and hope for the future but also burdened with the loss of life/property/innocence etc.? 🤔
Yea, that would be quite fitting. Such a great band. I need more "Subterranea" in my life now!!
It's a shame 'Came down' is so short. It has an almost religious/Biblical feel to it. A sort of 'came down to the Garden of Eden' metaphor? I love storytelling like Tony Banks songwriting.
I listened to a lot of IQ in the late 80s and throughout the 90s, including this album.
If you want to hear the same kind of Peter Gabriel-era Genesis-inspired ambience, then check out Swedish neo-prog band Twin Age. Start with "In the Well" and "Marble Island" from their 1996 album Month of the Year.
So glad you got around to these as promised. I think Peter Nicholls voice has got stronger as he's got older. Mike Holmes lead guitar deserves a mention. Their newer albums are excellent but outside your time frame. You covered 'Further away' about a year ago... Any chance of a re-run?
Yes, much more to go, but had to hit these 2 up first. Really want to get back to Subterranea album as well. Yes, I remember I heard "Ocean" and loved it... in fact I'm playing it again right now!! Might have heard part of The Road of Bones song too. I will try to at least listen to some of their recent work over on Patreon, so I can hear more of their 2000s brilliance. Hmm, never thought of doing a 2nd reaction to the same song. Something different for sure, never seen a reactor do that... Thanks for watching my friend!
I was less enamoured with Subterranea Brandon. I mentioned repeating 14.30 minute 'Further away' cos I'm in full 'plug IQ' mode and for me many of their best works are post 2000. I suspect you've many new subscribers who didn't hear it first time around as well. Really pleased you've shown off these two.
First time I have ever heard IQ. WOW! Brilliant. I can see the influences from great bands that came before. It actualy eminds me a bit of Genesis. But they still have their own sound. THANKS Gerald
I got divorced from 'new' Genesis after Abacab. Nothing to do with the Gabriel/Collins/ Hackett argument. It was the structure and writing. I stuck to old favourites for years until these guys hit my eardrums and re-ignited my interest.
@@grahamharley4895 I am still married to Genesis but we have the odd argument. If I was given a pound for every time I have heard that I would be a multi billionaire by now. I got into Genesis in 1977 and collected all their vinyls. When Abacab came along and I rushed out to buy it and listened to it. I said what the f... is this. But it grew on me and every following ablbum afterwards. I grew up musically and gained more understanding. I can write a very long list of the reasons why Genesis changed direction. It was inevitable and
they were always changing, progressing, evolving etcetera. You may not like it but bands write and perform the music they want to. I am an artist and the paintings I do now are not the same that I was producing years ago. What they did they did and its all been done before. As for IQ yes a great band but its nothing that I have not heard before. Writing and creativity changes over time and often reflects the times, trends, ideas, influences etc....but it does not keep repeating itself, you become a cliche of yourself THANKS Gerald.
No, no, no, Brandon!
I hate everything about this, still I feel compelled to listen to what you listen to.
What kind of sorcery is this?
Yes, I love IQ, but I see why they would not be for you. My new video is up, I PRAY that it's a song you love!!
