Promises (as the years go by) - IQ

IQ was one of a few British bands formed during the early eighties that continued with the progressive rock style that had been abandoned by seventies bands like Genesis and Yes. Although - or perhaps because - the music they made required complex musicianship and included intricate arrangements, commercial success always eluded the band.

When they released their 1987 album 'Nomzamo', the single 'Promises (as the years go by)' actually got some airplay in the Netherlands. This is how I found out about the single.

My collection: 7" single no. 680
Found: Disco Market, Den Haag, November 12, 1988
Cost: 1 guilder
Tracks: 'Promises (as the years go by)' / 'Nomzamo'
