Promise Nothing mostly
combines material from her debut EP A Bao A Qu and
her debut album From Gardens Where We Feel Secure.
This release was issued in Canada through Sire records.
We Will Meet Them Again featured words taken
from a translation of Mahler's Songs On The Death Of Children. The melody for
this song was also used by Virginia for the song Joy which features on the Richard Jobson album The
Ballad Of Etiquette.
The melody for Angels Crying was also used as
incidental music on the track A Long Absence (Un Entetien Avec Marguerite
Duras) from the Les Disques Du Crépuscule compilation album
The Fruit Of The Original Sin.
Love's
A Lonely Place To Be was released as a single in January 1983.
The version of Soaring featured here is different from the version that originally appeared on the B-Side to Love's
A Lonely Place To Be.
Futility features words taken from the Wilfred
Owen poem of the same name set to music composed by Virginia. This is a remixed version of the track which features on the Mighty
Reel cassette compilation (4 lines of vocals have been mixed out to allow prominence for the oboe).
A Summer Long Since Passed had originally featured
as the B-Side to the 12" version of the single Love's
A Lonely Place To Be
and subsequently appeared on Virginia's debut album From Gardens Where We Feel Secure.
