This landmark eleventh studio album marks a bold sonic departure for the legendary trio as they embraced the minimalist energy and technical precision of the early eighties. The abstract cover art with its vibrant torn paper motif and distinct color blocks signaled a move away from progressive complexity toward a modern pop sensibility that would define the decade.

Featuring the influential production work of Hugh Padgham this Charisma Records release helped pioneer the gated reverb drum sound that became a hallmark of the era and heavily influenced the global music landscape. Collectors recognize this era as a critical turning point for Phil Collins Tony Banks and Mike Rutherford where they masterfully blended experimental synth textures with massive commercial appeal. The inclusion of the iconic title track and the atmospheric suite of Dodo and Lurker makes this an essential piece of vinyl history for enthusiasts of British rock evolution. As a cultural artifact it represents the sleek professional aesthetic that dominated airwaves and music publications during the transition from art rock to new wave brilliance.
