Invisible Touch-Remaster 2007 (Audio CD)

Customer Review

Of all remastered Genesis albums this is by far the worst managed. The original version of "Invisible Touch" sat anno 1986 sound standards and does not need today to hide. The cool 80s sound did and does the album very well, just fits really well to it. That Mike's guitar and the bass a bit thin come along, was just the spirit of the times. But then you have just the live recordings, where he pops the cork and looking at the beautiful Bass tunes (!) And can get far better listen.

This album lives of Tony's harmonies but in this version of Tony's Keys were almost completely pushed into the background - and especially with this album, where he has experimented so much with sounds. This leads then to the point where some of the harmonies "falsified" completely come across, such as Tony's solo in "Tonight, Tonight, Tonight". The tasteful, dedicated to in details worked out arrangements between different sounds, guitar splashes and fat Simmonds-Drums, which accounted for this album were "picked apart" here.
Finally, one can still say that Mike has really delivered nothing earth-shattering on the guitar here. It merely adds Tony harmonies and rhythmic work done but the more effective full. So moved to the fore, but acts Mikes Guitar here simply out of place.
I definitely have turned away with cold horror of this release. Fortunately, the new mix to other albums was far, far better implemented (see "And Than There Were Three", "Wind and Wuthering", "Mama" etc., etc.). I stand by my "old" version of "Invisible Touch".
