Advantages: A better style Disadvantages: Still not there
In the early part of their career, Japan had struggled to find a suitable style and had never found a sympathetic enough production ear. With QuietLife, their 1978 album, that all changed.
This was their first album produced by ex Roxy Music man John Punter, and on it Japan finally found their true setting (and discovered a talented saxophonist in bassist Mick Karn). Unfortunately the Punter association was too much for certain critics who had already noted the Bryan Ferry influences in David Sylvian?s singing style and the band got some accusations of ripping off Roxy.
However, QuietLife was unlike anything that Roxy had ever produced and even included a version of the Velvet Underground?s All Tomoorrow?s Parties.
They were still, therefore, not critically rated, but they were starting to build a committed and major ...
Advantages: calming Disadvantages: make me very tired
First purchased these about 3 years ago when our daughter was first diagnosed with her many health problems.
I went through a really stressful and depressed time and there were days when i didnt even get out of bed.

Album Notes
Japan: David Sylvian (vocals, guitar); Rob Dean (guitar); Richard Barbieri (keyboards, synthesizer); Mick Karn (bass, saxophone, background vocals); Steve Jansen (drums, percussion). Recorded at Air Studios, London, England. Remaster adds four songs and a video. CD contains 4 bonus tracks. This is an Enhanced CD, which contains both regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files. Over their relatively brief recorded career--five studio albums--Japan made a huge about-face. From a glam-rock band with arty pretenses they became the epitome of the "New Romantics," wearing their classical and world-beat influences on their ruffled sleeves. QUIET LIFE, the third of their five albums, is the first fully removed from traditional rock. The title track opens the album with hectic drums and percolating synthesizers offsetting the tremendously controlled guitar and rubbery bass. This song, and indeed album, also introduce the style of vocals that David Sylvian would use for the rest of the band's career--a cross between David Bowie and Bryan Ferry that is much more pleasant to listen to than descriptions would indicate. "Despair," with its piano, saxophone, and swelling synthesizer, is clearly modeled after the second half of Bowie's LOW, as well as being the second of Sylvian's compositions paying overt homage to composer Erik Satie. A cover of the Velvet Underground classic "All Tomorrow's Parties" is completely dominated by Mick Karn's bass playing, though the rest of the band does their best to keep up. QUIET LIFE is an essential road sign in the career of a fascinating band.

Q (1/02, p.115) - 3 out of 5 stars - "...by the time of 1980's Quiet Life Japan had already spent two albums steadily dropping their initial glam-rock sound....longing for otherness...had charm..."
