matthewmw , I agree, their live version is off the hook. You should see Karn intriguingly strolling along the scene while grooving.

i love Japan and can understand the direction they took as the New Romantic scene took of ,although they stayed musically aloof of the chart fodder, but I think there first two albums were fantastic and a great twist on their " New York Dolls " influence

My all time favourite band and then some! total agreement with MedusaPhoenix. My all time fave album is ''Gentlemen'' miles in front of the followers who tagged onto a 'New Romantic' image. but check out their first two albums and see how far they came before Mr Sylvian embarked on a very succesfull solo career which still goes from musical strength to strength

"Living the highlife"... no imitators here. Japan and Sylvian were and are still innovators.... Rain Tree Crow / Nine Horses / Solo material. All worth a listen...

This album followed Gentlemen take polaroids which has more class and was not so commercially driven. They had made it big in japan by this time which had an effect on their outlook and musical style. Love Mick Karns bass but David Sylvian flourished alone musically after the split. If your'e into this check out rain tree crow, which follows this album and their consequent split and return under that name.

Ah Japan! The way you find out who actually knows New Wave music versus those who have a casual top 40 interest in the stuff.
