IQ - Resistance

Facts Two CD set. 2019 release from the veteran British neo-prog band. Resistance is the band's first studio album since 2014's The Road Of Bones. Says IQ founder Michael Holmes: "It's taken a while for this album to develop, but to my mind that's given it a nice organic feel with some quite diverse atmospheres. The initial idea for Resistance was to have a single CD with an accompanying extras disc, but the closer it got to the release the more we felt that everything just gelled as a proper double album. That's also meant we were able to give each track just the right amount of breathing space, whether that's a three-and-a-half minute thing or a more substantial twenty-two minute workout."
