An improvement

Advantages: Still more to come
Disadvantages: Not there yet

...result being the 1979 album Obscure Alternatives. The group had seen Talking Heads while they were away on tour and had been impressed with the intelligence of both the group’s music and their audience. It was an example they wanted to follow, and at the same time Japan were becoming attracted to traditional Eastern music.

...further interesting counterpoint. Although the album was a significant step forward from Adolescent Sex, the group were less than enchanted with their producers and engineers and sought still to sort out their style properly.

Review of Obscure Alternatives [Remastered] [Digipak] [ECD] - Japan

Pop-Stars? More like Flop-Stars!

Advantages: Original, Tuneful, Powerful
Disadvantages: Depressing

It was a #1 in Britain for four weeks which surprised a lot of people because of their genre. This chart postition was definitely well deserved as it is a powerful song. Lee's vocals are assisted by Paul Mccoy as an extra in the chorus. **Everybody's Fool** This song has a more mainstream feel to it than other songs on this album. The intro ...
