Touchstone are a ‘prog rock with real bite’ band from South East England. This is prog rock for people like their music as big, epic and melodic as possible; Within Temptation meets Ayreon, Asia and Porcupine Tree. It is a loose concept album, but each song stands on it own. The prelude features Jeremy Irons and is a suitably epic introduction, leading into the WT like Wintercoast. Highlights for me include the head banger Strange Days, which would make a great single, and the moving Line in the Sand. Every track is fantastic, with superb guitar and keyboard solos (no noodling), and the outstanding vocals of Kim Seviour. It is staggering the quality of some bands out their struggling to make a name for themselves, and Touchstone deserve to be Mega. If you like great music, played by outstanding musicians, then grab yourself a copy. 9.5/10 (Reviewed by Phil Wooldridge)Ravenheart Music Review July 09  | |
