Two years later, in 1989, the band released their third, and, to many critics, most successful album, "First Love/Last Rites", with Roxy Music veteran Rhett Davies in the role of producer.

As with their previous releases, the LP fared well in mainland Europe, but, due to poor management and promotion, failed to make an impact State-side. The duo would go their separate ways shortly following the release of the album, with Peter Kingsbery releasing a string of solo projects in France.

In 2006, Cock Robin reformed, releasing their fourth album, "I Don't Want to Save the World", and performing a number of sold-out shows in Europe.

It remains somewhat of a mystery why Cock Robin was never afforded the same success in English-speaking countries, notably their native USA, than they did in Europe.
