ROB SEZ: The former front man for Japan has had one of the most fascinating and distinguished musical careers of all the "New Wave" progenitors. Perhaps only David Bowie had a more storied and musically engrossing path. I've got more DS and Japan rarities, but will need some comments to encourage me to share...
ALL PRAISES to the original compiler & sharer 
and to Don at the old ASH blog for sharing with me.

  6. Apart from Ghosts, I really didn't care for Japan at the time, but now I suddenly find myself not able to get enough and playing catch up with the band and their solo work. More, please!

    1. You request is noted, Howlin'. I'm in a busy period right now with work & life commitments, so I'll hope for some extra free time this summer to oblige your request. Cheers.

  8. Wonderful downloads, Japan were one of the greatest 80s bands who of course transcend the typical 80s aesthetic.
