David Sylvian and Robert Fripp - The First Day, album review


Funk and Grace

A friend gave me a cassette copy of this 1993 album at the time and I loved it then and am revisiting with the same fondness now. Standouts are Darshan with its sustained funk across seventeen minutes, as well as the jagged guitar throughout, and then God's Monkey which apes the funkness. Gracefulness is in the beautiful signature sound of Fripp's guitar on Firepower.
