I also still love their first two LPs, which the band themselves seem to disown. "Adolescent Sex" and "Obscura Alternatives" are two incredible and very hard LPs of heavy UK funk/disco (more funk than disco really) with very raw and attitude-laden vocals from a much-snottier sounding David Sylvian.
They looked fantastic in those early days. too. Somewhat emotionally dead and very gritty lyrical action, EXCELLENT synth sounds, and fabulous guitar work.
I love them in all their phases.

Thanx for info!!! I have to look if there is some material of Japan in library. I have also listened quite a lot "Quiet Life" and it has remain fascinating! My lp is cheap-fame pressing, it was already second hand-couple. I bought it, because one old friend once played me that album.
