80's Synth-Pop band Secession performing "Touch" on BBC's Oxford Road Show.
You could call them the one-hit wonder with this song. It became popular enough to be covered by another singer, which I can't recall at the moment. From what I remember it wasn't close to being good as the original. With a couple of 12" records released and only one album titled "A Dark Enchantment," they disappeared and went into 80s synth-pop heaven never to be heard from again.
I had been on the lookout for this album on CD for quite sometime and never found it. I gave up on it eventually until a thoughtful popster-blogger friend pointed me to the right direction and then I was in nostalgia heaven. So I looked to see if they had any videos out and this was the only thing out there.

I can't see the video, so I will check on youtube for it.
That Secession was a bit of a FIND wasn't it!?
Good stuff V, shame it's so hard to find. I'm reminded a bit of "Postcards From paradise" from Flesh for Lulu.
Indeed it was, XO! :)
Glad you liked it, Steve.
