Darshan (The Road to Graceland) is the second of three collaborative productions of David Sylvian and Robert Fripp. Actually it is a remix album since the first two tracks are remixes of the original song "Darshan" from their first album The First Day. The original version, written by David Sylvian, Robert Fripp, Trey Gunn and David Bottrill, is reissued here as final track. The first track is a remix by The Grid, the second track -called "Darshana"- is a “reconstruction” by The Future Sound of London. It was released on 6 December 1993 as EP and CD Single on Virgin Records (SYLCD1 and VJCP 20013 in Japan).
