There were 2 bands that I know of that had the name "Touch"....and both were excellent bands! This band named Touch were from New York and were somewhere in the AOR school with parallels to bands like Ambrosia, City Boy and perhaps STYX!
I bought this album a long time ago totally based at the time on the cover! And i can remember really liking this band with its great Starcastle-like keyboards and pop rock flare!
The lead singer Mark Mangold has a great voice and is very well suited to the prog-pop tendencies of Touch. My fav song from this album is the tune "So High" which sounds like British progressive rock giants IQ meets ASIA.....a perfect balance of prog and pop"
Music buffs will like to know that Band leader Mark Mangold (keys and lead vocals) would later work with Michael Bolton....yup "the bolt" and help him achieve huge success!
