What do you think about Touch the Sky Jude..........

I rather like it myself

Jeez, thanks Yorkie... wait, what's that sticking out of my back ??

To answer your question, ahem, it struck me the first time I heard it and I was taken aback by it. I listened to it a number of times more and, without wanting to appear disingenious, I thought that it was most un-libera-like and awful < ducks for cover>

You're welcome Jude, it's good to have you back amongst us. I know what you mean about it being un-Libera like. It is probably more mainstream than other tracks (Time might also be more mainstream I suppose).

I probably like it because I quite like the very intimate sound you get from mini-James - he's practically in your head if you listen through headphones.

One thing I would say is that with Time & Touch we have people other than RP writing and arranging songs. That will almost certainly bring a different style but it might not be a bad thing for the future of the group.

Indeed. In both album creation, and concert production, I think it's time RP delegates some of the work to the younger ones and shape them to continue what he started once he retires.

I think RP has a good few years left in him yet - don't write him off too soon

And don't you just love it when their voices suddenly soar in the chorus? Beautiful.

Definitely, most especially the chorus immediately following following the coda "The night is dark and I am far from home..."

Joe what coda? i dont remember there being a coda O.O...especially at that section

im the same as Jude on this one i think Ave Virgo and Faithful heart are the stand out tracks.

i also dont think touch the sky is very Liberaish, but i still think its a good start for Mini James.

It's after the second chorus. I think mini-Ben sings that solo.

hum must reevaluate AGAIN grrrr.....

As far as touch the sky goes i agree with yorkie(uuugh) that it may not be a bad thing, could be a general direction that most agree on going in and they are just testing the waters with touch the sky

It's more of a bridge. It's the last line sung by a solo before the ensemble picks up the last refrain leading into that top note.

Don't worry about having to listen to it again. It is a beautiful song...

Had "Ave Virgo" not found its way towards "Peace", "Lead, Kindly Light" would have been my favorite track. It's simply beautiful- from lyrics to music. It's really nice that that song or poem was given a Libera interpretation. It just so happens that I thought Tom Cully nailed "Ave Virgo". Mozart-Prizeman-Cully is a killer combination.

Abso-tively !!

Mine is still


How shall i sing that Majesty

Stefan has such an amazing voice.

The most interesting part in Peace for me is the 'conclusion' : Touch the Sky and The Fountain

The Fountain is a spellbinding song, no doubt. Ralph Skan. Enough said.
