Az Invisible Touch a Genesis 13. stúdióalbuma, amely 1986-ban jelent meg. Az Egyesült Királyság album listáján az 1. helyezést érte el és ott is maradt 96 hétig. Az együttes legsikeresebb albuma lett, világszerte több, mint 15 millió darabot adtak el belőle, 5 Top 5 kislemezt eredményezett az Egyesült Államokban. Általában kedvező kritikákat kapott a kritikusoktól. A címadó dalból megjelent kislemez, az Invisible Touch is az első helyezést érte el az Egyesült Államok kislemez listáján, egyedül az együttes kislemezei közül.
A SACD and DVD double disc set (including new 5.1 and Stereo mixes) was released in October 2007.
Háttér
[szerkesztés]During the writing process, "Invisible Touch", produced through improvisation, became a standalone piece. It was originally conceived by Tony Banks as a part of the "Domino" suite.
Three songs were cut from the album and subsequently released as B-sides: "Feeding the Fire", "I'd Rather Be You", and "Do the Neurotic". In interviews promoting Invisible Touch, both Banks and Collins stated that they felt that there may have been enough room on the album for these tracks, but they had to pick and choose which songs they felt to be a better fit to the overall sound of the album.[forrás?] The cut songs were later re-released on the Genesis 1983–1998 box set.
Dalszövegek
[szerkesztés]The lyrics to "Land of Confusion" were written by Mike Rutherford and comment on the political turmoil of the Reagan/Thatcher/Gorbachev era. A video for "Land of Confusion", featuring the Spitting Image puppets, was nominated for MTV's Video of the Year Award, but lost to former lead singer Peter Gabriel's Sledgehammer. Phil Collins's lyrics to "Tonight, Tonight, Tonight", another hit song from the album, dealt with drug addiction, while "Anything She Does" (lyrics by Tony Banks) is about pornography. The lyrics to "Domino", explore various applications of the domino effect.

Allmusic rated Invisible Touch three out of five stars. Stephen Thomas Erlewine, who reviewed the album, commented that "was seen at the time as a bit of a Phil Collins solo album disguised as a Genesis album". However, he said that "[the] songs had big hooks that excused their coldness, and the arty moments sank to the bottom".[1] Mark Putterford of Kerrang! remarks how the album shows "new ideas, new sounds, but still very definitely Genesis".[3]
Catching Genesis at their commercial peak, Invisible Touch debuted at No.1 in the UK, while it reached No.3 in the US and went six times platinum there. The album was supported by the 1986–87 Invisible Tour, a concert video of which was released in 1988 and on DVD in 2003.
In popular culture
[szerkesztés]In the film American Psycho, protagonist Patrick Bateman proclaims that Invisible Touch is the group's "undisputed masterpiece", discussing its virtues at length with two prostitutes he has hired for the evening. The scene represents a chapter in the Bret Easton Ellis novel where Bateman muses about the significance of the album. "In Too Deep" plays during this sequence.[6]
During the late 1980s, instrumental excerpts from the track 'Domino' were used on the BBC TV sports program Grandstand, as a bed over which presenter Desmond Lynam previewed what was coming up in that day's program.
"The Brazilian" is used in the television show Magnum, P.I. episode titled "Unfinished Business". "Tonight, Tonight, Tonight" was used in the Season 7 episode "Laura" which featured Frank Sinatra in his last acting role.
"Land of Confusion" was used in "Freefall," the final episode of the 1980s cop show Miami Vice (a show on which Phil Collins had guest starred) during a scene in which the characters Crockett (Don Johnson) and Tubbs (Philip Michael Thomas) were in the middle of a stakeout. The song implied the complexity of the story during the finale.
"In Too Deep" was also used in the 1986 film Mona Lisa starring Bob Hoskins.
In "Old Stan In the Mountain" episode of American Dad! the song "Invisible Touch" was used as the theme music for Francine and Roger's dance.
