Invisible Touch

Thank you.

Our featured artists this week, Genesis, with two of their very best, namely Invisible Touch and Land of Confusion.

And just to let you know, Phil Collins will return as a solo artist a little later in today's show.

Now, I've got a couple of messages to acknowledge.

But, um, but the arrangement of that song, um, actually lent again f- to it being so spectacular.

So anyway, Harry went about finding these people and because of his contacts and I think probably, you know, the name Phil Collins, and, and Harry can be very persuasive, they had the very best, uh, people, uh, to arrange, uh, songs like That's All and Invisible Touch, and make them from pop songs into what is considered a jazz or big band sounding song.

So you know, you sort of, as a non-musician, you recognize it, but you're like, "Wait a minute, and where's the words?" Right? So-

Yeah

I can't remember what song it was though, Nick.

I think it...

I don't know if it was Invisible Touch or, I don't know.

I don't remember, Nick.

I really was.

I mean, for me, this was one of the first solo Genesis albums I heard because I got into Genesis after Invisible Touch.

Probably 1987 I got into Genesis and that was my first... album and then i started to discover the other stuff and this was literally i heard this album before i heard a lot of other genesis albums um so it was for me again it wasn't it wasn't difficult to get into because it was just that voice you know voice of genesis that i was used to yeah um so i really loved it from the start but spoiler alert

hey no it's fine it's fine

Yeah, it's not an album that I've really listened to that much because really for me, for me with like Phil Collins and Genesis, you know, similar.

It was like Invisible Touch and that which got me interested.

And with with Phil Collins, I was familiar with the singles.

I was familiar with everything that it was.

passion and discussion.

It's time for Jake's questionable song of the day on early break on 93.7 The Ticket and theticketfm.com.

Who will I be with? This ain't out of touch yet.

It takes control and slowly tears you apart.

Very easy.

I can get it to a three-four.

Especially after the song you talked about this morning.

I didn't have time

So this next song was the first of seven US solo number one hits for Phil Collins, all which charted in the 80s.

He was still charting hits with Genesis during this time as well, including the number one Invisible Touch in 1986.

This resulted in a bit of Phil Collins fatigue and somewhat of a backlash in the 90s when some critics targeted him as a symbol of schlocky pop music.

In a 2010 interview with Rolling Stone, Collins admitted that the criticism hurt.

But

you also listened to, like, Invisible Touch.

I love Phil Collins and Genesee.

I know.
