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.

"Jean the Birdman" is a collaboration between Robert Fripp and David Sylvian, co-written by Trey Gunn. The dreamlike music video was directed by Howard Greenhalgh a year before he became famous for his work on Soundgarden's "Black Hole Sun".
The single was released as two separate CDs, each including exclusive bonus tracks.

He gambles on the saddle
He's pulling at the mane
He thrashes at the horse's back
Ambition is a bloody game

Horse doesn't want to jump
The river looks too wide
Well he faces every hurdle
With a nervous state of mind

"Stay with me, breathe deeply
Take three paces back
Turn and make a full attack"

The gods are laughing
And they're tugging at the reins
But they've taken to their wings
And they hit the bank

Heaven may stone him
But Jean the birdman pulls it off
Heaven may stone him
But Jean the birdman pulls it off

His finger's on the trigger
His eye is on the clock
He doesn't give the game away
And quickly fires the bulets off

David Sylvian & Robert Fripp
Six hearts cut short
Still dreaming they're alive
Blown 'round in dusty circles
Like an absent state of mind

Who hunter, who victim?
God love America
He surely doesn't love him

Hitching out of nowhere
Lines of traffic knee deep
A chance to stave the morning off
And get some sleep

Heaven may stone him
But Jean the birdman pulls it off

He wears a crucifix
His mother left to him
It's wrapped in chains around his heart
Rusted and wafer thin

"Don't count on luck son"
All the angels sing
"Don't need to check the weathervane
We all know what tomorrow brings"
Life is a cattle farm
Coyotes with the mules
Life is a bullring
For taking risks and flouting rules

Who needs a safety net
The world is open wide
Just look out for the card sharks
And the danger signs

Heaven may stone him
But Jean the birdman pulls it off
