What album are you listening tonight?
Japan! Oh wow, you kill me.  One of my favorite groups of all time. Tin Drum was the breakthrough Japan album for me; it took me a while to 'get it' but then I was totally hooked. Japan and Mick Karn drove me to spend much money and time on fretless basses, though I think that I fell a bit short of Mr. Karn's remarkable skill and vision.

You've motivated me to pull out an old flimsy vinyl pressing of Quiet Life, pressed into paper-thin plastic in 1979.

It is a bit disconcerting that it is 36 years old.... so unbelievable is the distressingly correct term. For anyone who listens to Tin Drum and wants to explore further, I can recommend:

Dali's Car, The Waking Hour- Mick Karn and Peter Murphy (wonderful cover art by Maxfield Parish)
as well as David Sylvian's solo albums and Mick's solo efforts as well.
