This appearance marks what the elder Collins has called his final drum track as health issues have since made drumming too difficult and painful for him. Collins has also related that songs on the album such as "Disappearing" and "Eco" are his response to the global warming issue: "I know everyone's sick of hearing about it but it's not gonna go away." Ĭollins' father, Phil Collins, appears on the track "The Big Bang" in a drum duet between the two. "Us (Love Transcends)" is according to Collins "one of the most personal songs on the record" and was written for his partner and stepdaughter. There were certain things I felt a need to sing about, so a lot of these songs were inspired by my own personal u-catastrophe.". Theme and highlights Ĭollins recounts that much of the album as well as the album's title were inspired by events in his own life, stating, "I went through some hard times a couple years ago and I had to find a way back to love and a way back to living a life that I knew was healthy for me. Work began on the album in September 2007, finishing in February 2008. That same year Collins signed with the record label Razor & Tie. As a result of the meeting, they decided to produce Collins' next album together. While recording a cover of the 1981 Genesis song " Keep It Dark" in 2007, Collins met Canadian record producer Kevin Churko. It was first digitally available in August 2008 on iTunes. Phil plays on the track "The Big Bang", while another former Genesis member, Steve Hackett, plays on the track "Fast Forward the Future". U-Catastrophe is the third album by British- Canadian musician and singer-songwriter Simon Collins, son of Phil Collins.
