- Genesis – Invisible Touch
Picked this up at HMV when was back in UK (as, weirdly, hadn’t seen it around Singapore). Typically, when I came back, I almost immediately found a used 80s Japanese pressing!

Nice start with the guitars. Looping guitar riffs ahoy! Richard Wright’s keyboards start to seep through. Fade out.. That’s what we get at the… Read More »Pink Floyd – Obscured by Clouds
