I follow the band IQ and the singer Mylène Farmer since the eighties. IQ I saw live for the first time in September 1986 during a double concert (with Pallas) the Amsterdam Paradiso. since then it has become the band I have seen the most over the years. Although IQ is a prog band, they tried to get more mainstream during the late eighties, mainly due to their vocalist of that time Paul Menel. The two albums they made, Nomzamo and Are You Sitting Comfortably? contain a mixture of proggy and synthpop / new wave based songs. For sure the singles from both albums hardly embodied the prog. After Paul Menel left, taking the bass p layer tim Esau with him, the band returned to their prog roots with their first singer Peter Nicholls and new bass player John Jowitt, becoming one of the major prog legends since then.
Mylène Farmer I only saw once in 1999 at the National Forrest in Brussels. I came familiar with her through the 17 minutes long videoclip of Pourvu Qu'Elles Soient Douces from her second album Ainsi soit je... Her shows are spectacular, but somehow she is able to catch your attention and she shows a lot of emotion. And although she offers a lot of straight on synthpop songs, for sure on the early albums she likes to experiment a lot as well.
Somehow I had to reserve a place for both on this compilation.
