Album · 1981 · 14 Songs. It finishes on three Giorgio Moroder–helmed sides: a remix of European Son and two versions (one radio, one 12-inch) of the big-in-Japan disco-ball Life in Tokyo. It’s fun to hear how in just two years (1978 and 1979) youngster Mick Karn crafted a style that altered how a whole generation of bassists approached their instruments and how singer David Sylvian dropped personae (from decadent glamster to disco glamster to urbane crooner) like prom dresses.

Label: Hansa ‎– HANLP 1. Format: Vinyl, LP, Album, Compilation.
