ALBUM REVIEW
Twenty five years ago -more or less- a group of guys named Mike Holmes, Peter Nicholls y Nial Hayden met themselves in a queue for Genesis tickets. These guys decide to form a band which was to be called The Giln. Later on they changed the name to The Lens and, after some lineup changes, came a new member who changed entirely the concept and sound of the band: Martin Orford. Finally Martin and Mike decided to give up that spacey music they played (and as weŽll see they didnŽt do it very well) and create a band which was to be called IQ..To be sincere "A word in your eye" only has documentable value for those who want to know the musical roots of one of the most important bands in the history of progressive music. There are four great tracks and some gleams here and there, but the rest of the songs were composed by very young musicians who, in those times, had to mature. (progvisions.i12.com)
