ENGLISH

Japan, whose members were David Sylvian, guitarist Rob Dean, keyboardist Richard Barbieri, bassist Mick Karn and Sylvian's brother Steve Jansen as a drummer, began as a group of friends, who all studied at the same school and became an alternative glam rock outfit in the mould of David Bowie, T.Rex, and The New York Dolls.In 1977, the German label Hansa held a contest that elicited entries from over 1000 bands. The eight winners, including Japan (and an unknown group called the Easy Cure who later became the Cure) received recording contracts and, a year later their debut Adolescent Sex hit the shops.<br /> Quiet Life is Japan's third album, originally released in 1980. Musically, the album was a huge change of style for the band since it stepped away from their earlier alternative Glamrock and into New Wave.
