Title: Tin drum
Artiste: Japan
Genre: Pop/New Wave
Love
I've always liked “Ghosts”. Very minimalistic and quite spooky (appropriately); something of a masterpiece for the time.
“Canton” is also good. Very good in fact. Nice instrumental.
Hate
Pretty generic new-wave eighties stuff so far; not as heavily reliant on synth as some of their stablemates, but still nothing too impressive to me.
Have never been a fan of David Sylvian's voice.
End result: I know Japan from back in my youth, when I reviled anything that was “pop” or at least not rock. Have I changed my mind? Not really: I can see some decent songs here but generally it's the kind of new-wave pop stuff I never cared for.
So, Love or Hate? Hate really
