"Tin drum" was, and still is, a classic album.....and most of his solo work.....in my opinion....

 

[Hellie]

Forbidden Colours is one of my faves ever.

As a teenager i was obsessed with Japan
I bought every LP/single.
I still like Japan & David Sylvian.

I can't even tell you how much it killed me to miss their show in Cleveland last month.

Japan is responsible for four of the most beautiful words ever - Honda, Yamaha, Suzuki & Kawasaki

Ian Broudie was aged 14 / 15 and on guitar!
Budgie on drums
and half of Frankie in there too.
What was the name of the female vocalist? Jane?

Forbidden Colours is one of my faves ever.

Mine too! I fell instantly in love with it after hearing it on the radio at age 13 thereabouts. I ordered the 12-inch at the local record store, and for some reason it took weeks to arrive. Every day I'd pop in hopefully, and every day the shopkeeper would greet me with an increasingly sympathetic and apologetic air. Finally it arrived, and didn't leave the turntable for weeks. Must have driven my parents spare. Pure perfection, it is.

cheers

I first heard Japan as a kid, my auntie and two of my uncle's were into them. Japan were brilliant!

Have you ever heard their song 'Blue Oyster Cult' ??
It literally consists of:
"Blue blue blue oyster, blue blue blue oyster, oyster posioning... I went to a resturant with my friends, we all ate blue oyster, I feel headache, I feel stomachache.... etc etc..."

I used to have it as a ringtone on my phone and now I have no phone and therefore no Blue Oyster tune..... If you have it could you share it, pretty please?

Muchas gracias

 

[vaca peluda]

It's pretty much a nice way to sum up my head sometimes....
