JTFL and I don't completely agree on something...proof that there is balance in the world...Japan, from their out of era Garage Glam to their final future pointing Ambience were a band I couldn't get away from. I'd say Sylvian was more Bryan Ferry with a blonde quiff rather than an obvious Bowie poser. <br />By the time of Gentelmen Take Polaroids and the Nightporter single, they were making influential, art pop and stretching those boundaries into electronic music. I am more a Nightporter fan than a Ghosts fan. And that version of Marvin Gaye's (written with Smokey Robinson) Ain't That Peculiar "out Ferrys" Ferry on many levels.Echorichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02853063796135973187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5834198189370622587.post-80949468093857664492018-02-11T11:59:06.586+00:002018-02-11T11:59:06.586+00:00Loved Japan.

In the first days of post-punk there was no one playing fretless bass like Mick Karn, who is one of the under-rated musicians from that period. Was never a big fan of 'Nightporter' but the b-side sounds cool.JTFLnoreply@blogger.com
