The first solo work by Craig Brooks (g.vo), the core of the legendary American progressive rock band TOUCH! !

Craig Brooks, the lead vocalist/guitarist of American prog rock band TOUCH, who made a shocking debut in 1980 and attracted a lot of attention in Japan with the smash hit of Don't You Know What Love Is and its inclusion on the live album "Monsters of Rock 1980" and who shares the core of the band with Mark Mangold (key), has released his first solo album!

TOUCH's ally Mark Mangold fully participated, and original member Doug Howard (b), who was unable to participate in the 2024 revival live, also participated, bringing together three-quarters of TOUCH! In addition, the drummer is Josh Devine, a former ONE DIRECTION tour member and the son of Mick Devine, singer of the popular British melohar band SEVEN, who is fully participating! In recent years, he has become a popular drummer in this type of British scene, playing with Robin McCauley and further expanding his field of activity.

Most of the songs are written by Craig alone, but Mark Mangold also co-wrote three songs, not only playing but also producing with Craig. Craig has been the main vocalist in TOUCH's songs so far, so it can be said to be the "Voice of TOUCH".It's a spacey, almost TOUCH-like spacey and melodious song where you can enjoy Craig's vocals and guitar! A fulfilling solo debut work has been completed here!
