 Late in the Spring 1986 semester, I heard, and loved, Icehouse's "No Promises." Sounding like their version of David Bowie & Pat Metheny's "This Is Not America," it was, thought I, destined to become a hit. But then, I kept waiting and waiting for it to come on the radio, and it never did! The next school year, one of my classmates had Icehouse's album, Measure For Measure," on cassette. I did not particularly care for the album, did not feel like paying full-price for it. Yet, we could not find "No Promises" as a single, either. But anyway, whether you are DJing for regular people, or for audiophiles, they all like "No Promises." And since not much is known about this long-lost gem (30 years old!), you get to explain :-) -Lummy The Loch Monster
