Invisible Touch

Invisible Touch is the thirteenth studio album from the English rock band Genesis, released on 9 June 1986 on the Charisma/Virgin labels in the United Kingdom and Atlantic Records in the United States. After a break in group activity in 1984 for each member to continue with their solo projects, Invisible Touch was recorded following the commercial success of Phil Collins's third solo album, No Jacket Required, and its supporting tour which had increased his popularity as a solo artist. The album was written entirely through group improvisations; no material developed prior to recording was used. Electronic drums and synthesizers are used extensively.

Invisible Touch remains the best-selling studio release from Genesis, with over 6 million copies sold in the U.S. alone. It became the band's fourth consecutive album to top the UK charts and peaked at No. 3 in the U.S. It spawned five top five singles on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart, "Invisible Touch", "Throwing It All Away", "Land of Confusion", "In Too Deep", and "Tonight, Tonight, Tonight", with "Invisible Touch" reaching the top spot, the only Genesis single to do so. The album received mixed reviews on its release and retrospectively; several reviews, both positive and negative, have observed its similarity to Collins's solo records and their commercial pop sound. Genesis toured Invisible Touch from 1986 to 1987, which ended with a record four sold out shows at Wembley Stadium. The album was reissued with a new stereo and 5.1 surround sound mix in 2007.
