about

The series of ‘samplers’ compiled in the 90s and 00s were carefully curated and composed as narratives - although this aspect doesn't necessarily come across when staring at the track listings on their own, you realise immediately on listening how this unfolds. Every stage of the releases, from track selection, order, gap lengths and mastering to design, photographic and typography on the original CDs (now sold out) reflect this approach and remain a hallmark of Touch’s endeavours.

TOUCH 25th Anniversary edition CD with exclusive tracks from:
Oren Ambarchi | Biosphere | Fennesz | Bruce Gilbert | Ryoji Ikeda | Philip Jeck | Jóhann Jóhannsson | Jacob Kirkegaard | Mother Tongue | BJNilsen | Pan Sonic | Rosy Parlane | Peter Rehberg | Rafael Toral | Mark Van Hoen | Chris Watson |

There are also several insert recordings and a live edit from Hild Sofie Tafjord & Tanja Orning

This compilation was produced initially for the magazine, His Voice, to promote new music in the Czech and Slovak Republics.

Kultureflash (UK):

Few compilations can maintain an integrity and flow but Touch has consistently enabled a listening experience over its 25-year history with its exploratory collections of visionary sound. To celebrate its silver anniversary, Touch 25 compresses the voices of many of its artists into a singular listening experience, with previously unissued recordings from Philip Jeck, Ryoji Ikeda, Biosphere, Chris Watson, Christian Fennesz, Pan sonic, Wire’s Bruce Gilbert and many more, snuggled in between field recordings of news items, in-flight announcements, and sundry quirky audio reports. Drones slip across mournful electronica, elevated strings envelop unexpected harmonies and subterranean bass frequencies threaten to pierce the surface at any moment. Epic moments are born from the simplest voices, as with Jeck and Ikeda, whilst Johann Johannsson leaves a hauntingly transcendental note in your ear. Touch 25 marks out a certain point in our history that will continue to resonate in years to follow. Immerse yourself in this moment and savour it.
