In a discussion on Dueling Modems I was asking if the Peter Gabriel and Robert Fripp composition "Here Comes the Flood" was at all influenced by J. G. Ballard's The Drowned World. Both are melancholy acceptances of this changed world in which cities are underwater. That got me thinking and discussing how much I love Fripp's Exposure album, from whence that cut comes. The title cut is one of the coolest songs in rock history, with Terre Roche - a woman with a fabulous singing voice - singing the title word over and over in increasingly strained screeches while a bed of weird Frippertronics (tm) plays underneath. Man o man, does it get better than this?
