[ dead link] Regrets' and 'The First Cut' also follow suit perfectly, in all of the album's undertone charm with the finest example of the lot - 'No Fear, No Hate, No Pain (No Broken Hearts)' in all of its orchestral/vocal rage and lamentation (the full blast of emotion it is). The only cheerful moment is 'Right By Your Side' - a song which might not entirely fit into the set but makes 'Touch' a strange album of shifting moods, coming on a little too early in hope for the album's "happy ending".

Plank’s pulling power meant that D.A.F. drummer Robert Görl came on board to supply the motorik groove alongside Can duo Holger Czukay and Jaki Liebezeit. Blondie’s Clem Burke also contributed to the album. Instead, their Cologne-recorded debut In The Garden is a gutsy post-punk collection that boasts muscle, angular riffs, as well as soulful vocals.

As Stewart admitted to Classic Pop last year, his relocation to the US and the realisation that they were needing to create an expansive sound to cater for their megastardom; fundamentally changed the duo: “We were taking influences from American music and thinking ‘We’re going to have to play this in stadiums and arenas. That’s how we came up with Thorn In My Side and Missionary Man. Revenge wasn’t so huge in Britain because it was so American sounding.”The military drumming of odd closer I Remember You at least serves up some sonic diversity.

Stewart ditched the guitars and taught himself how to program and play keyboards from scratch. Touch had three strong singles to anchor it, starting with “Here Comes the Rain Again.” It was the best of the three and the second-biggest U.S. hit they’d have (behind “Sweet Dreams”). They wrote in a New York City hotel on a rainy day, with Lennox’s meteorological observation becoming the title and the song’s starting point. Greatest Albums of All Time: Touch – Eurythmics".
