Japan
Quiet Life

The third studio album by English new wave band Japan, first released on 17 November 1979. Quiet Life was the band's first album to chart and was later certified Gold by the British Phonographic Industry for sales in excess of 100,000 copies. I recommend.

This is a CD reissue of classic 1979 album from Synth-pop band Japan, released by Sony BMG Music Entertainment in 2006. Digitally remastered, with four bonus tracks and bonus video Quiet Life.

Junto a Gentlemen Take Polaroids (1980) y Tin Drum (1981) forman una trilogía en 3 años consecutivos muy dificil de superar. La voz peculiar de David Sylvian que recuerda a Bowie y Bryan Ferry, le dan un matiz diferente a la base de su música tecno pero melodías de aires místicos y orientales. Esta es la versión remasterizada de 2004 con 5 bonus, uno de los cuales es el vídeo de Quiet life. A destacar 2 joyas, la propia Quiet life y All tomorrow's parties.

Quiet Life is the album that transformed Japan from past-tense glam rockers into futuristic synth popsters, though they'd been leaning in that direction for a while. It's also a solid proto-New Romantic synthesizer record, enhanced by Mick Karn's superb fretless bass work and David Sylvian's smooth, sneering vocals spread over pop hits like the title track and "Fall in Love with Me."
