I usually love minimalist productions, but I make an exception for this song. It is vulgar, it lacks subtlety, it is too American and, most of all, it totally misses the essence of Peter Gabriel.
In August he spent three weeks in the studio with Daryl Hall producing and playing on Hall’s first solo album, Sacred Songs.
As with Fripp and King Crimson, the decision was not favored by the band who felt they were on the verge of success. Although mainly happy with the music, Gabriel felt that the album – particularly "Here Comes the Flood" – was overproduced. There are other wonderful performances of the song, such as Gabriel’s solo on Kate Bush’s Xmas TV Special from 1979:and his later live performances of the song, again with piano only:His vocal delivery on the song is one of the best in his career, in my book competing with his singing on.The performance by Fripp and Gabriel on the version from the Exposure album is simply perfect.

Like many other global catastrophe predictions throughout history, definitely those that are past due, they were wrong. The album included the song.Exposure and Here Comes the Flood showcase the guitar soundscapes that Fripp developed for a number of years with musical partner Brian Eno. Get a good UK pressing (LP) or the Classic Records audiophile pressing, it’s a GREAT record.On an additional note, I am of the opinion that it is Fripp’s 2nd collaboration with Eno “Evening Star” side 1 that has some of Fripp’s best work and sound.What a great read.
It was completely improvised music, with two Revoxes. Eno didn’t think twice before placing a call to Fripp, who came in and recorded the first thing that came into his mind as he was listening to songs such as Beauty and the Beast and Heroes (multiple Fripp guitar tracks edited by Visconti).1977 was a great comeback year for Fripp. "Here Comes The Flood" as written by Peter Gabriel,Non-lyrical content copyright 1999-2020 SongMeanings,Javascript must be enabled for the correct page display.Interesting.
