Just read Mick Karn's obituary in the Guardian, his bass playing was just amazing to say nothing of his sax solo's on various Japan tracks, a truly gifted musician. I came out of the punk scene and discovered Japan in their glam stage, could see that there was something different about them, that rhythm section of Jansen and Karn was just so tight. Great musicians all, but for me Karn made the difference with his fretless bass sound. A bit gutted about his passing i must admit.

of the few albums Japan released this is my favourite, in my opinion it set the scene for what was to follow musically from other artists in the early 80's. Although for me know one quite matched up to Japan and there innovative style. In particular Mick Karns fantastic fretless bass playing. Sadly missed

@ginobisogni1 How much of Bryan Ferry/Roxy Music's discography have YOU listened too my friend? Maybe you should look in the mirror and see. Things might be a bit clearer..

I love this song, it always made me drift away into sleep if I listened to it last thing at night, very hypnotic!

@801liveable Ferry started something that Sylvian clearly took further in his own way, but to say that it is simply emulation is merely illustrating how little of Japan's discography you have listened to.
