The First Day, released in 1993 by Sylvian and Fripp, astounded audiences with its powerful and forceful sound. This album, which bore a stronger resemblance to the mid-1990s King Crimson yet to come rather than Sylvian's earlier works, fearlessly blended elements of accessibility and experimentation. Notably, the track "Bringing Down The Light" showcased the first recorded instance of Fripp's innovative contemporary Soundscapes technique, providing a truly exceptional and captivating experience.
