Product Description

CD reissue of this 1993 collaboration between vocalist David Sylvian (Japan) and guitarist Robert Fripp (King Crimson). Fripp was a guest on David Sylvian's 1986 album GONE TO EARTH. Sylvian/Fripp evolved as an extension of that collaboration, initially with gigs as a trio with future King Crimson member Trey Gunn on stick, followed by a full length studio album with the addition of Jerry Marotta on drums, Marc Anderson on percussion and vocalist Ingrid Chavez. The album was recorded by David Bottrill in Woodstock NY and New Orleans. Experimental yet accessible, song driven yet leaving ample room for instrumental exploration, THE FIRST DAY is a great advert for such occasional meetings insofar as it manages to showcase the individual strengths of both artists while drawing something new and unexpected from their joint work. As such it is one of the best remembered of the many collaborative recordings by both artists.

新生KCよりもいい。というのは、シルヴィアンは歌が巧いからそれにつられてギターの音も生きてくる。KC加入が実現せずいまの音楽界にとって甚だ残念。

'93年発表｡厳しく冷たいけれど､火傷する位に熱い｡ﾄﾞﾗｲｱｲｽの様な性質を持っているｱﾙﾊﾞﾑだ｡それはこの組み合わせにもいえることだが､同時に一瞬にして溶けてなくなる泡沫性というｽﾘﾙも含んでいる様な気がしてならない｡｢これっきり｣というのも面白い｡

93年来日公演ではバッサリ髪を切ってM.Jﾌｫックスのようになつたシルビアン、フリップとのコラボでは二度目の来日だツタ、フリップとしては新CRIMSONの構想なかにはシルビオアンも入っていたのではと思われてくるシルビアンの唄うスタ－レスなんて鳥肌モノじゃ～在りませんか。フリップもイ－ノとのコラボを復活させたのだからそろそろ・・・・・
