Is that the Fripp-flavor or the Gabriel-flavor? :-)

There are two studio versions of "Here Comes the Flood."

The first is on _Peter Gabriel I_ and is an ensemble performance (his whole
band). It seems overproduced to me -- the power of the song is lost in the
clutter.

The second is on _Exposure_ (Robert Fripp) and is electric piano and
Frippertronics guitar (very subtle in back of the mix). This is an
*outstanding* version, and it basically the one he plays live.

(You will also find a version of "Exposure" on _Peter Gabriel II_... these
were kind of collaberative efforts)
