2006 digitally remastered reissue of Japan's most popular
album - Tin Drum.
Japan's fifth album Tin Drum found them more into Eastern imagery and sound than
ever before. From the portrait of Chairman Mao gazing inscrutably over ever-lovely
ans ever-melancholy David Sylvian on the album sleeve to the synthesized oriental
orchestration it's a cultural exchange all the way. Young English Romantics
find art, success and escape in the land of the rising sun; and returned home
to find that changeing fashions have softened the critics' and public's hearts
to their indulgences. Percussionist Steve Jansen and bassist Mick Karn
weave complicated patterns that sound almost free form at times - but they
aren't. Mick Karn plays a fretless bass and uses a flanger, giving a sort of
rolling sway to the music. On top of this we have the many synthesizers of
Richard
Barbieri and David Sylvian used, at times, percussively, at times to create
moods, and at all times with taste. Essential stuff ...
