I just wanted to say the new IQ album has been on near constant play all week.
Some very immediate tracks and some that you need to let the grow on you, but all in all a great album.
Too many good musical points to mention, but my real favourite moment right now is the instrumental section at the end of “Shallow Bay”. Classic IQ vibe!
So, a cracking album, and kudos to IQ and all who crafted it.
Aww thanks for your kind words Derek!!! Really glad you’re enjoying it!
And just to keep it on-topic, there’s no way in the world I could play most of the tracks on the new album live, with all those sound changes etc, without Cantabile
I have it too and have listened to it almost every day this week. Amazing album! So far “Perfect Space” is my favorite. I am curious, how many song states does a live version of something like “The Great Spirit Way.” have?
We haven’t played “The Great Spirit Way” live yet, so I haven’t yet set up my Cantabile song for it fully yet. But for example “For Another Lifetime” from disk 1 weighs in at 23 song states, and 24 racks. I think “The Great Spirit Way” is going to be more…
