Japan

2021 Reissue, Remastered, Stereo, 180gm, Half-Speed, Gatefold. This classic album from 1979 is probably the blueprint for the 'New Romantic' movement*, but don't let this put you off, Japan always distanced themselves from the New Ro scene (they were far too cool!).'Quiet Life' is a timeless musical statement far removed from the Durans and Spandaus that arrived later. * along with Bowie and Roxy, who also influenced Japan themselves.
