Well if you visit progarchives (where huge numbers of Genesis fans review albums) you'll see I'm far from alone in my views. I became a fan in 1970 when Trespass came out and I never ceased to wonder at the sheer genius of their next 4 albums. But first Gabriel left, then Hackett, so Collins moved the band into a commercial, lightweight direction, culminating in this sort of dross. Go back and play Firth of Fifth or The Musical Box and then say that this track is good.
@MrHistorian123 Not Collins alone, but Collins, Banks and Rutherford wanted to move into a commercial direction, I'm tired of people blaming Collins, Collins and Collins. And I don't get your advice at all. Firth of Firth and The Musical Box may be way better than The Brazilian, but that doesn't prevent me from saying that The Brazilian is very, very good (especially the ending).
@MrHistorian123 I like this song as well as the other albums you mention along with trespass. The title and rythm of this song suggests they were inspired by some brazilian samba school . This album suffers from a " commercial " tag which is unfair for it seems they went onto explore different sounds . Why should you emprison Genesis in only one type of music ?
@MrHistorian123 i respect your opinion as much as anyone's, Sir, but you call this "bilge"? maybe its not your cup of tea, but theres far worse to listen to these days, can you at least give me that? anyhow cheers, its better than "little wayne" right?
I agree. Compared to Lady Gaga or Eminem, this is Beethoven's 9th, but I was comparing it to Supper's Ready, Firth of Fifth, The Cinema Show, The Musical Box, Watcher of the Skies, The Fountain of Salamacis, Can Utility and the Coastliners, Dancing with the Moonlit Knight..........compared to them it's not really up to much.
@jollyroger2012 That was "Laura" with Frank Sinatra in his last acting role. They also played "Mama" in the episode "Death and Taxes." Selleck used a lot of Genesis, it seems, in the last two seasons of the show. I think it was in an effort to give the show a "Miami Vice" edge despite the fact he chose to end the show himself.
Every time I listen to this song since the first time I heard it, I have always imagined a guy in a black suit, white undershirt with black tie, holding a black leather briefcase with brass dial locks and running atop a ridge in the desert. As the symbols crash, there is a closeup of his feet hitting the sand as it splashes into the air around his feet. I have never figured out why but I have always thought it would be an amazing music video.
At the age of 12 I heard this masterpiece. This song influenced me in music ever since. I took up listening to more European pop music such as The Cranberries, The Corrs, Chumbuwamba, and Ace of Base. I also collected 25 genesis CD's along with all of their music videos, nearly every Phil Collins album, every Peter Gabriel album along with his videos as well. Still can't find the Phil Collins videos however.
I saw a video of Liverpool FC to this music when they RULED Europe but stinkin YT took it down...OMFG they were awesome n so is this music...I h8 them B*****s who run YT sometimes :(
First heard this song on an episode of Magnum P. I.; thought it was written for that particular episode, it dovetailed so well with the storyline... when I heard it on the radio later that week and found out it was Genesis, I bought the album (LP) on the spot... i wasn't disappointed. Great album !!
Through this song I imagine the creation of the Solar System to Modern Man. The sun collapsing and igniting in the cosmic nursery of a nebula. The Planets condensing out of the spiraling cloud of dust. The first rain on Earth's rocky surface. The first cells, becoming larger organisms, then fish. The plants bursting across the player's surface. Insects and then dinosaurs, growing massive, Apocalypse, mammals, monkeys, caveman, Egyptians, Romans, dark ages, Renaissance, Industry, Space Age...
I made up my own lyrics to this album when I was 5. I think I named the song "silver rainbow", which is an appropriate name for a song who's lyrics were penned by a 5 year old. Like Evilyig, I too used to imagine epic sci-fi/fantasy battles while listening to this song. This song is like the canary in a mine for young, budding nerds. It's great.
its 1986-7 and I'm in the car with my grandmom listening to the end of side two of this tape and when this song came on I didn't know what to think at first!
2011: A very cool instrumental from one of the greatest groups of all time: GENESIS!!!
"Unfinished Business", the episode of Magnum, P.I. where this track was featured, aired yesterday on late night TV here in Norway. The second the song began playing, I remembered just how powerful this piece of music made that episode. Hell, the episode features the brutal death of Magnum's wife and daughter, and somehow THIS TRACK is more powerful, capturing his grief AND his relentless willpower in pursuing the man responsible.
Remains one of the best instrumentals I have ever heard.
This is the very song that,,, Back in the day,,, I chose to compare the CD ( digital ) version against the Vinyl ( Analogue).... Suprisingly enough, the Vinyl was richer sounding and, In my opinion, the better choice for this track.
When I was 9 years old I used to listen to this song and imagine a party of fantasy heroes I made up in their last battle with the final protagonist of my story, taking their turns weaving in and out with their attacks until finally defeating him and saving the world.
Interesting. You might want to read The Walking Drum by Louis L'amour, an epic novel At one point the hero is in a battle which turns out to be against tens of thousands of Mongol warriors, indomitable men against the hero and his hundreds of great warriors. As I read that section, their amazing battles within battles and they were making their final stand, against a vast sea of enemies, THIS song started to play while I read.
@evilyig I actually wrote lyrics to this song... Sad, lonely lyrics... about a lesbian who would later marry (a man) and THEN discover she was a lesbian. Preventing me from being the last link between her and her eventual hatred for men. AND IT WORKED! :) Viva la... well, I don't reall speak any other languages, so, "yay for me and my manhood!" :D
This instrumental hasn't dated at all and is outstanding. Apart from the brilliant musicianship the production and recording are in a league of their own.
This piece of music should be compulsory in all hi fi and audio shops because it

Yep it still is fantastic. The first great album recorded entirely digitally. The sound was so far beyond anything else at the time. Digitally Recording a band that knew how to maximize limited analog methods produced phenomenal results. This album, and Tango In the Night by Fleetwood Mac, destroyed the conventions of what an album could sound like on modest playback gear. Nowadays bands cram every nook and cranny of the sonic spectrum but these old bands knew how to do it.
This is probably the best song on Invisible Touch. When I was younger I thought the longer tracks like "Tonight..." and "Domino" were the best examples of Genesis carrying on the prog tradition, but now they seem rather stale to me. "The Brazilian" is more progressive in the true sense of the word.
Invisible Touch is impossible to categorize. It is a great prog album because of Domino and the Brazilian. It is a great pop album because of In Too Deep and Throwing It All Away. It is a great electronic album because of Tonight Tonight Tonight, and finally it is a great rock album because of Land of Confusion and Anything She Does. To bump Feeding the Fire from this album must have been a difficult choice.
@grahambanks Sorry but I wouldn't call Domino "prog" at all. It's two different songs under one track. I'd be willing to bet that if the two parts had been tracked separately without the "Domino" umbrella title, it/they wouldn't get nearly as much praise.
I still like Tonight and Land of Confusion along with Brazilian. Replace some of the cheesier songs with Feeding The Fire and/or Do The Neurotic, and it could have been a better album.
This was also on the "When the wind blows" album. Along with David Bowie and Roger Waters. The whole album was freaken awesome This song and Bowie's song and Waters's song Folded Flags.
This got to be the best instrumental song ever written. I hope that in future the music industry will notice the mistake they have done with all the crap is gettin' played on the radio.
@carlosgodoy1 Instrumentals or just similar music in general? For Instrumentals try: Please dont Touch - Steve Hacket; Fanfare for the Common Man - Emerson Lake and Palmer; Magic Fly - Space; Lizard Man - The Danse Society; Film Theme - Simple Minds; Big Muff - Depeche Mode; Astradyne - Ultravox; When the Machines Rock - Tubeway Army; Firecracker - Yellow Magic Orchestra; Tel Aviv - Duran Duran; The Wreck of the Fairchild - Thomas Dolby. Let me know if you need more suggestions
@TDGCaputMortis for the modern innovators you need to look at the likes of Andy Weatheralls work in the field of techno...the natural progressor in terms of genres to this eras experimentors in sound....also his work in creating Screamadelica should be credentials enough for a mention. He made Screamadelica, Primal Scream were little more than samples when you analyse it...great producer. :-) I went to a dance festival this weekend a DJ dropped Jean Michelle Jarre in a trance tent and it worked
@alanlaing or even the likes of Derrick May....look up the 2nd part of Derrick May's Paradiso video on here...watch how involved he is in creating the soundscape....a musical genius on the par with any you mention..his dance classic Strings of Life under the guise of Rhythm is Rhythm is an experiment in sound. watch the video of him talking about how it was made...
@alanlaing I also listen to stuff like Tangerine Dream, Dreamfish/Pete Namlook, Ozric Tentacles etc but for more up to date stuff its Ministry of Sound, Thievery Corporation and Kruder & Dorfmeister.
im an electro/industrial cyber head... and a friend of mine said i HAD to listen to this song, its really not my style but OMG THIS IS NICE! wow, fantastic music.....
This is the only track from Invisible Touch that I really like.Much of that album is too poppy for my taste.Very metallic and dissonant . It kind of harks back to their earlier more experimental prog rock roots. Apart from the 80's production values it would probably not sound out of place On A Lamb Lies Down on Broadway.
This track never gets old, it's so bloody powerful and hits none Genesis fans right between the eyes upon a first listen. Absolutely Bloody Awesome!!!
The ending of the King Biscuit Flower Hour featuring genesis in the late 80's played the live version of this song as the announcer was talking over the song. Even still, it was so awesome !! Hope someone can find a live version of this, super cool.
@xtallyx1 You can find a live version at the "Live at Wembley Stadium" DVD (even though the In The Cage medley is missing), and on the Archives 2: 1976-1992 box set :)
I remember when I bought this album and was sooooo impressed by the arrangement, I just kept playing THIS song over and over lol I haven't heard in years till 20 minutes ago, 'cause, wellll, I HAVE been playing it over and over, AGAIN...not the most popular radio song...don't think I've EVER heard it on the radio.
THIS TUNE IS TO DIE FOR..... I THOUGHT IT BACK IN THE DAY & STILL THINK IT NOW, A TRUE UNADULTERATED CLASSIC, MUSIC IS JUST NOT MADE LIKE THIS ANYMORE..... WONDERFUL......
A lot of people complain that Genesis died when Gabriel left and Phil "took over", but c'mon this may not be the same kind of stuff they released 10 years earlier but it's still equally solid stuff. Personally I love this album, every track is fantastic

This got to be the best instrumental song ever written. I hope that in future the music industry will notice the mistake they have done with all the crap is gettin' played on the radio.

@TDGCaputMortis for the modern innovators you need to look at the likes of Andy Weatheralls work in the field of techno...the natural progressor in terms of genres to this eras experimentors in sound....also his work in creating Screamadelica should be credentials enough for a mention. He made Screamadelica, Primal Scream were little more than samples when you analyse it...great producer. :-) I went to a dance festival this weekend a DJ dropped Jean Michelle Jarre in a trance tent and it worked

@alanlaing or even the likes of Derrick May....look up the 2nd part of Derrick May's Paradiso video on here...watch how involved he is in creating the soundscape....a musical genius on the par with any you mention..his dance classic Strings of Life under the guise of Rhythm is Rhythm is an experiment in sound. watch the video of him talking about how it was made...

@alanlaing I also listen to stuff like Tangerine Dream, Dreamfish/Pete Namlook, Ozric Tentacles etc but for more up to date stuff its Ministry of Sound, Thievery Corporation and Kruder & Dorfmeister.

The Phil Collins era was, according to me, the best and I love Invisible Touch and We Can't Dance :D
The best with this song is that I get the feeling that I am in the rain forrests in Brazil, among jaguar's, tukan's, monkey's etc. :P

This is the only track from Invisible Touch that I really like.Much of that album is too poppy for my taste.Very metallic and dissonant . It kind of harks back to their earlier more experimental prog rock roots. Apart from the 80's production values it would probably not sound out of place On A Lamb Lies Down on Broadway.

The ending of the King Biscuit Flower Hour featuring genesis in the late 80's played the live version of this song as the announcer was talking over the song. Even still, it was so awesome !! Hope someone can find a live version of this, super cool.

@xtallyx1 You can find a live version at the "Live at Wembley Stadium" DVD (even though the In The Cage medley is missing), and on the Archives 2: 1976-1992 box set :)
