==Background==
In February 1984, the band completed their 1983–1984 tour in support of their previous album ''[[Genesis (Genesis album)|Genesis]]'' (1983), which became their biggest selling album at the time of release and spawned the UK top five hit "[[Mama (Genesis song)|Mama]]". The group followed this with a period of inactivity to allow each member to continue their respective solo careers; [[Mike Rutherford]] formed his group [[Mike + The Mechanics]] and had success with [[Mike + The Mechanics (1985 album)|their debut album]], [[Tony Banks (musician)|Tony Banks]] concentrated on film scores and released ''[[Soundtracks (Tony Banks album)|Soundtracks]]'' (1986), and [[Phil Collins]] released his third solo album ''[[No Jacket Required]]'' (1985), which was a major worldwide commercial hit. In the summer of 1985, towards the end of his solo tour, Collins confirmed that Genesis had agreed to start work on a new album that October.<ref name=NYDNM>{{Cite magazine|magazine=New York Daily News Magazine|date=30 June 1985|first=David|last=Hinkley|page=6|title=Rock's Little Drummer Boy Goes Pop}}</ref> This put an end to a false announcement that aired on [[BBC Radio 1]] suggesting the three had split.{{sfn|Bowler|Dray|1992|p=198}} Rutherford felt that the break affected the group's musical style: "We had done so much work outside the band, it seemed we had gone through a lot more musical changes, although the development is largely unconscious."<ref name=1986presskit>{{cite web|url=http://thegenesisarchive.co.uk/press-kit-genesis-invisible-touch-atlantic-records-2nd-june/|title=Genesis: Invisible Touch Press Kit|date=2 June 1986|publisher=Atlantic Records|access-date=31 January 2017|first=Bob|last=Kaus|pages=2–3}}</ref>
