The same song, written by both of these 2 huge prog artists in the late 70s that appeared on two separate albums. I came across Peter's 2nd album (which included his version of the track) after hearing what I thought was the original on Fripp's, but have recently fallen in love with "Scratch" and I much prefer it to Robert's "Exposure". Anyway, I was wondering what you think, as Fripp's record is rated higher than Gabriel's on PA, but I've always preferred Peter's rendition (and that album on the whole). Thanks for any feedback!

Interesting to compare the two. For me, I am kinda of attracted to more abrasive, mash-up feel, character of Fripp's version. ------------- He neither drank, smoked, nor rode a bicycle. Living frugally, saving his money, he died early, surrounded by greedy relatives. It was a great lesson to me -- John Barrymore |

Both are great, though I'd say the screams of "EXPOSURE!" on Fripp's version detract from an otherwise perfect track. Have to give the nod to Gabriel. -------------

I like both but the version on Fripp's album is way more memorable because of the more exuberant vocals. (Thanks, Terry Roche!) ------------- Drew Fisher https://progisaliveandwell.blogspot.com/ |

I like PG's version of the song better but much prefer RF's Exposure album over PG2... ------------- https://wytchcrypt.wixsite.com/mutiny-in-jonestown" rel="nofollow - Mutiny in Jonestown : Progressive Rock Since 1987 |

Leaning towards Gabriel's version. In both cases, Tony Levin's bass playing is outstanding. ------------- Welcome to the middle of the film. |

Gabriel's version by far. ------------- ...a vigorous circular motion hitherto unknown to the people of this area, but destined to take the place of the mud shark in your mythology... |

Another vote for Peter Gabriel. Can't stand the woman's voice on Fripp's version. Otherwise it is also a good version. ------------- http://theprogressiveweb.blogspot.de" rel="nofollow - Visit me in Second Life to talk about music. |

The music is comparable (oh well, maybe I could say it's the same in the whole). So the difference is PG voice for me. That woman's crying the word Exposure during the whole song isn't much impressive IMO. So my vote goes to Peter without hesistation. And yes, the bass line on both version is outstanding. Kudos to Tony Levin. -------------
