Originally released in 1985 The Wake is the second album from the English progressive rock legends, IQ. The Wake was recorded in March/April 1985 in London and released that same year. This album features the IQ classics songs, Headlong, Widow's Peak, The Magic Roundabout, and The Wake. Most of these songs are still a favourite part of the band's live set list. This CD really is a true progressive rock classic. The booklet features new artwork by Peter Nicholls.
