* AMindIsATerribleThingToRead: The theme of "Here Comes the Flood". The inspiration was from a dream Gabriel had where "the psychic barriers which normally prevent us from seeing into each others’ thoughts had been completely eroded producing a mental flood. Those that had been used to having their innermost thoughts exposed would handle this torrent and those inclined to concealment would drown in it."

The album was recorded in UsefulNotes/{{Toronto}} and UsefulNotes/{{London}} with Canadian producer Bob Ezrin, best known at the time for working with Music/{{KISS}}, Music/LouReed, and Music/AliceCooper, giving the album his characteristic bombastic sound with brass and string arrangements.



Peter Gabriel himself was happy with his music but felt that "Here Comes the Flood" was overproduced. In future releases of the song as well as live performances, he would do piano-only renditions.
