The First Day is the first of three collaborations between David Sylvian and Robert Fripp. It was released in July 1993 and was something of a departure from David Sylvian’s usual work. It is a combination of Sylvian’s deep, thoughtful lyricism and vocals with Fripp's atmospheric and idiosyncratic guitar work, along with overt elements of electronica (particularly downtempo), avant-garde, hard rock, and progressive rock.
It was released in two versions. A regular jewel case CD (CDV 2712) and as a limited box-set with eight photo prints (CDVX 2712).
"Bringing Down the Light" appeared in the Chris Morris TV series Jam.
All songs by David Sylvian (music & lyrics), Robert Fripp (music), and Trey Gunn (music), except where noted.
