The presence of a few classical melodies on this disc shouldn't lead listeners to think it falls under the crossover banner. The forces involved in this Hungarian release come from the pop world, with electronic percussion backing, studio multitrack techniques, and microphone-driven pop male vocals. There seem to be a few originals, but most of the music consists of either covers or pieces built on melodies borrowed from somewhere else. An example of the latter is Shame About the Dreams (track 10), one of just two pieces on the album sung in English. It's quite inventive, adding words to the "Ode to Joy" theme of Beethoven's Symphony No. 9 in its middle section; the surrounding music is vaguely linked to the Beethoven both in text and music, with the effect that the song's message of tolerance seems to snap into focus in the middle. Other pieces simply add text to classical pieces or translate pop or Broadway hits into Hungarian, thankfully, in view of the fact that the group's version of "The Winner Takes It All" is even more heavily accented than the original. In case you were wondering, the group's name is Adagio; Érintés is the name of the album and also of an individual track, based on a tune from Borodin's Prince Igor. The mixture of sources on the album is the main point of interest in this album for those coming from outside the Eastern European pop sphere.
