Review by Crijevo Dec 19, 2008

Touch is a mystery in itself. Their 'Cassette Culture' as it is now referred to, remains one of those truly unique listening experiences - it is not at all greatful to review one cassette alone, however, 'Touch Travel' is an example less bombast with experimental chaos, more emotion friendly (if not conceptually confusing) with the theme it proposes by title. To start with, this cassette is probably most significant for debuting one and only Enya (Eithne Ni Bhraonain), contributing with two of her, now characteristic, beautiful instrumental piano pieces. A fine introduction to anyone's 'travel' list - whether you achieve your journey in reality or in pure imagination.

Astonishingly diverse - from ethnic to theatrical and back. Sadly this was a tiny statement sometime in 1984., pretty hard to get hold of now. Eventually circling around certain blogspots (on one occasion already turned down the link at Touch's request for copyright reasons), 'Travel' remains trapped in the cassette's obscure medium, scattering published material in unknown destinations.
