Favorite Japan Album?

[proggrl]

I chose Tin Drum as it was the very first time I'd heard Japan. Nick Rhodes and Simon le Bon were hosting Mtv over here and playing their fav. videos. Well, Nick talked on about Japan and played Visions of China. I was hooked from that moment forward. Sadly at this point they were already seperated. However, it did allow me to move on to David's solo career and for me it is his voice and lyrics which i'm most attuned to.

Are you me?? How come you keep telling all my stories??

AC - does that mean air conditioning?

Yep---and a means of survival in Florida. And I'm headed there in July---that is just a little foolish don't cha think?

Indeed! I do my level best to escape FL in the Summer at possible opportunity!

I don't have it anymore, but I still love the A side of the Virgin/Epic Japan cassette released in the U.S.:

The art of parties
Swing
Ghosts
Gentlemen take polaroids

Excellent driving music on rainy days.

What lovely combination of songs....If we're talking about a driving combo....I dont know about 'Ghosts'...LOL.....I think I would put an earlier more upbeat one like 'European Son' on after Swing.

Everytime I got in the car for school, I would play "Gentlemen take polaroids" Though I had to stop doing that because everytime I listened to the song, it reminded me of school... *Shudders* But now since it's summer it's Japan and David Sylvian all day long!

Ah, class never stopped me from getting my Sylvian fix. My mp3 player is small enough to hide...

[Silver Moon]

Same here, though sometimes I would get carried away and crank it up and I would get a weird look from some of my classmates.

Ahh behold the power of small MP3 players!

Did the others not notice the daft grin on your face and the far-away look in your eyes?

I chose GTP, I never heard those albums when they came out the 1st time - I only got GTP less than a year ago and my fave track is 'Methods of Dance'.

I love Methods of dance!! I really enjoy it lately. One of my favourite Japan songs, for sure
I discovered Japan recently too. I wasn't born when they were around!!
