Touch - Touch (1980)

Simply put, this album is one of the very best discs that has ever been made in the AOR music category. During the late seventies and early eighties the American rock scene was bursting with deliciously ambitious talent, none more so than New York based quintet Touch. Their sound can be described as power rock, with well crafted songwriting and plenty of soaring harmony vocals by Brooks suited perfectly with Mangold’s striking keyboards.

En termes simples, cet album est l'un des meilleurs disques jamais produits dans la catégorie musique AOR. À la fin des années soixante-dix et au début des années quatre-vingt, la scène rock américaine débordait de talents délicieusement ambitieux, tout comme le quintette Touch de New York. Leur son peut être décrit comme du power rock, avec une écriture bien conçue et de nombreuses voix d'harmonie envolées de Brooks parfaitement adaptées aux claviers frappants de Mangold.
