Of the performance and music itself, there is a lot more use of electric drums than on the previous album. Invisible Touch saw Genesis reach the peak of their success, although this was as a result (in my view) of taking a more pop approach to the music, and who can blame them. Review by gregs1104 Janu(1 of 1 found this review helpful) The recording quality seems to be a little bit below the SA-CD standard. And the music sounds more natural for me. Stereo sonics are "nice and clean" comparing to the old CD. You can feel the space around you and hear the "travelling drums" through the speakers but it sounds a little bit artificial for me here. The sound is of course much more clear than the old CD but the surround effects are not so spectacular as expected. Mulitichannel version made me a little disappointed. Listen them loud! The last, instrumental song - The Brazilian - would be very interesting for the new listeners. ![]() I consider Invisible Touch as one of my favorites albums. The music is excellent despite its age (1986). In 2014, Stevie Chick of The Guardian chose "Domino" as one of the ten best Genesis songs and the highlight of the Invisible Touch album, describing it as "a fusion of everything Genesis had ever been and now become: an 11-minute multi-part epic played with the minimal attack of 'Abacab', the haunting 'In the Glow of the Night' giving way to the anthemic synth-rock bombast of 'The Last Domino'".I know Genesis music for more than 20 years so the expectations for the new SA-CD edition were set high. It was performed on the Invisible Touch, We Can't Dance, Calling All Stations (with Ray Wilson on vocals), Turn It On Again and The Last Domino? tours.Ī live version appears on their albums The Way We Walk, Volume Two: The Longs, and Live Over Europe 2007 (simply titled "Domino") as well as corresponding DVDs Genesis Live at Wembley Stadium, The Way We Walk - Live in Concert and When in Rome 2007. On the Turn It On Again Tour, Phil's face appears on the jumbotron and he sings that section of the song. He is on a platform that can move up and down. On the We Can't Dance Tour, Phil is high up in front of the jumbotron appearing to be levitating in the air. On the Invisible Touch Tour, Phil would have a red/pink-ish light shining up at his face. From when "The Last Domino" (Part 2) begins to the line ".now see what you've gone and done!", something different happened on every tour. He set the action in a hotel room in Beirut, minutes after bombs start to fall on the city.īefore the song was performed, Phil Collins would talk to the audience about the Domino Principle and demonstrate it by stating that something that might happen to the people in one section, might affect the people in another section (with the lights lighting up that section of the audience) multiple times. The B-side of the " Tonight, Tonight, Tonight" single was the first half of this song, "In the Glow of the Night", while the B-side of " Invisible Touch" was the second part of the song, "The Last Domino".ĭuring a clip titled "Tony talks about his inspiration" on the When in Rome 2007 DVD, Banks states that his inspiration for the song lyrics was the 1982 Lebanon War which was still being contested prior to the recording of Invisible Touch. The song, though not released as a single, charted at number 29 on the Mainstream Rock Charts. The song is divided into two parts, " In the Glow of the Night" and " The Last Domino". The music was written by the band, while the lyrics were written by keyboardist Tony Banks. The song was the sixth track on the album. " Domino" is a song written by the band Genesis for their 1986 album Invisible Touch.
