INVISIBLE TOUCH

The perculiar thing about Genesis is that when they were making masterpieces such as Foxtrot they were close to bankruptcy. By the time they descended to mediocre (And Then there Were Three and Duke ) they were going to number one.But by the time they produced this lemon that makes other notorius lemons ( such as Abacab, The Final Cut and Love Beach ) resemble Close to the Edge in quality they were playing to 70000 fans a night at Wembley for four successive nights.

Basically invisible touch is a collection of soulless factory hits aimed at the MTV generation. Long gone were the Genesis trademarks of atmospheric playing and creative songwriting and in it's place is machine generated sound with Phil Collins screaming through every one of the 7 trackls with lyrics . Genesis had now become indistinguishable from Phil Collins solo career.Of the tracks only THe Brazilian (instrumental) reaches mediocre .The suceess of this album is testament to how bad the music scene was in the second half of the 80s. Buy it only to convince yourself of that fact.If you are the type who goes to bad movie nights or enjoys visiting bad websites then get this album surely the worst by the A list of prog bands.
