Many Genesis albums (especially the early ones) rank among the top in the endless prog productions in history, not only English but worldwide. It is a band, initially led by Peter Gabriel and then by drummer-turned-singer Phil Collins, that deserves to be remembered in the years to come, forever. The gradual departure of some band members (Gabriel, specifically, and Steve Hackett) certainly hasn't helped, although it did allow for new solutions and experimentations.
Invisible Touch represents the arrival point of a musical restyling for Genesis, who, after an exclusively prog journey, venture into producing much more pop-oriented songs. And thus comes an astounding commercial success, as their songs are absorbed by advertising spots and introduced to the entire world. It is an album that aligns with the spirit of the '80s, full of electronic sounds, but with a prog imprint that the Collins-led group keeps almost intact. Genesis are progressive at heart, but open to the trends of the times and the ephemeral fashions. Among the most important tracks, Land of Confusion and Tonight, Tonight, Tonight are noteworthy.
