David Sylvian and was released in1986 . It was an ambitious two-record set, which flouted convention (and perhaps commercial wisdom) by featuring one record of vocal tracks and one consisting entirely ofAmbient music tracks. Guest artists includedRobert Fripp (who co-wrote several tracks) and Bill Nelson.Note: early single-disc CD re-releases omit three tracks: "Camp Fire: Coyote Country", "A Bird of Prey Vanishes Into a Bright Blue Cloudless Sky" and "Sunlight Seen Through Towering Trees".
