about

'The Wake', IQ's second album, became one of the band’s most respected and influential titles, spearheading the ‘New Wave of British Progressive Rock’. Popular with fans and critics alike it helped to define the ‘Neo Prog’ genre.

This is the 2010 remaster of the album and includes 4 bonus tracks, one of which ‘Corners (2010 remix)’ was only previously available on the very limited edition (500 copies only!) ‘Remixed’ Archive Collection CD.

Dwellers of the Deep
by Wobbler

supported by 8 fans who also own “The Wake”

This might be the least folky of the Wobbler releases and I wasn't sure about it at all. After a few listens however I'm loving the inventiveness and the endless melodies, all driven along by Kristian Hultgren's wonderful percussive bass. PartTimeZombie

From Silence to Somewhere
by Wobbler

supported by 8 fans who also own “The Wake”

In the Prog Archives, this is the only album from this millennium to crack the top 45 on the all time list. The lovable grognards over there can't seem to get enough of Wobbler, and neither can I. Leterren

Common Ground
by Big Big Train

supported by 8 fans who also own “The Wake”

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)
