Album Notes & Community Reviews

Operating with sweeping orchestral grandeur, 'Touch Me' entirely forgoes rock vocal traditions in favor of massive, classical-infused instrumental epics. Robert John Godfrey's dense synthesizer arrangements and classical compositional rigor define the sound, creating highly emotional and cinematic soundscapes. It remains a polarizing but undeniably unique artifact, standing defiantly against the punk and new wave trends of its release year.
