In 1993 David Sylvian released his first collaboration with former King Crimson's guitar player Robert Fripp The First Day. I knew Sylvian from his former band Japan and his album Tin Drum. It was a kind of music I don't listen regular to but sometimes I get into the mood of getting lost in this kind of dreamy and arty music. Fripp's guitar broadened Sylvian's music into another musical dimension. This video from the 90's shows exactly his ambition in searching for another piece of ambient psychedelia.

The First Day is such a well executed collaboration. All involved brought the best of what they did to the table and created something wonderful by putting those things together. Fripp and Sylvian's work together goes back to 1986 and Sylvian's Gone To Earth album. It's no wonder Sylvian was offered the chair as lead singer of King Crimson prior to one of the band's reformations. The lead single Darshan (The Road To Graceland) is a wonderful synthesis of all the talent on offer.
