Album

Ghosts is a song by English band Japan. It reached number 5 in the UK Singles Chart in April. Although it was their biggest hit, this was not enough to stop the band splitting a few months later. Journalist Todd Hutlock called it one of the most remarkable and unlikely entries in British chart history. Exorcising Ghosts - Japan.

I don't think it's nostalgia that made me want to hear Japan again. This forced me to listen to other stuff and I think it was vital to keeping my interest in music alive. To some extent though I through the baby out with the bath-water, and denied myself the opportunity to hear some remarkable music and,in the case of Japan,musicianship. The first thing I loved on re-hearing this album was Mick Karn's fretless bass. That all said, though, if one needs to have a useful enough starting point for what made Japan so great, Exorcising Ghosts is a reasonable way to start. The emphasis is entirely on the moody, melancholic but energetic phase of Japan's career - there's nothing earlier than a couple of cuts from Quiet Life, and any hint of the band's trash glam rock start is carefully and quietly ignored
