In Touch is a spectacularly expressive, historically monumental, and masterfully synchronized free jazz and avant-garde studio masterpiece led by the legendary supergroup collective Phalanx, digitally preserved and released on compact disc in 1988 under the prestigious independent Japanese avant-garde preservation imprint DIW Records. Spanning over 53 minutes of breathtakingly intense, conceptually unbound instrumental interactions across 6 sprawling, epic-length tracking alignments, this high-fidelity document serves as an absolute pinnacle monument in late-1980s free-funk and loft-jazz archaeology. Emerging as an ultimate powerhouse alliance of visionary masters, Phalanx executes a fierce, forward-thinking sonic blueprint that daringly bridges the jagged, microtonal harmolodic string structures of the loft scene with the soaring, full-throated blues expressiveness of post-bop and free music history.
