Oh, how I loved Japan, etc, etc...... Mick Karn inspired me to take up bass at the age of 15. I love them all for trying on Rain Tree Crow, but David Sylvian seemingly tried to tried to turn it into a solo album with cheap session musicians under the guise of collaboration with former bandmates. So unfortunate to be David Sylvian, stuck with who he is. It must be so hard and torturous, as he'd try to have you believe. As for Sylvian's actual albums, I guess you just need to decide for yourself. There are some good moments, but the extraneous collabrations are much better than this.

There were no pre-rehearsals; the improvisation took place in the recording studio and much of the finished work contains original elements of those initial performances." This is not true as stated in many Japan biographies, including Mick Karn's. -
Edited 5 years agoI loved everything Japan and Sylvian released up to "Secrets Of The Beehive" but despite trying to listen to this several times I can't feel any emotions coming out from these "songs", I find this record extremely boring and emotionless, only a ray of sunshine sparks through "Every Colour You Are" and "Blackwater", the rest is impossible to bear...
Such a shame considering the 4 talented musicians involved! -
I think this is an amazing record. This is Japan sounding nothing like Japan, and it`s not very poppy! You have to try again... It will grow on you... -
