UK, England, London 1981
Tin Drum is a tricky album to review, although it is an outstanding album from the 1980's. There is something about this album, I have not quite got over. I think it's something to it with avant-garde Arrangements That most of the tracks have.
They do exactly what the name of the band tells you on Tin Drum, they have created a oriental-heavy album (influenced by the Yellow Magic Orchestra) that contains very eerie effects. You would think these guys actually came from Japan which they don't (They come from London). There are some nice more ambient-esque moments such as 'Ghosts' (A top 5 hit in the UK) & 'Sons And Pioneers'. Those tracks create an ice cold atmosphere when sitting in the dark.
David Sylvian's voice is somewhat similar to Bryan Ferry's but his voice does work effectively throughout. 'Canton' is an instrumental piece that sounds like an anthem for some event in the middle east. Tin Drum finishes off with 'Cantonese Boy' Which is probably the weirdest on the album. This track feels rather shuffled about and Sends chills to your body, Especially as it ends in a very obscure way.
It's quite remarkable That an album like Tin Drum spent nearly a year in the album charts in the UK. A strange Sends chills That album, like it does. A highly recommended piece. Highlights: 'The Art Of Parties', 'Ghosts' & 'Cantonese Boy'. dexternico / rateyourmusic.com
next month we start from the hard knocks, namely Fifth studio album, Sylvian and the Company, the Tin Drum in 1981 roku.Przyznam sincerely to no impact, with Japan with the band is familiar quite recently, less than two months ago, when Rob zapodalna her, blog Gentlamen Polaroids.Album take this long on my hosted the Playlist, and earned a permanent place in the iron plates pantheon, to which we gladly powracam.Inaczej August issue of Tin Drum had. After the first hearing, had done the disc is not much of an impression on me, maybe because of the time I was still deeply influenced by her great poprzedniczki.Jakis month ago I dusted off again and gave a little more time to "bitten". I guess resulted, because today I am inclined to opinion that already Tin Drum is the most mature work in the history of the band, and if I should choose one, the only items in the discography of Japan is worth hearing, no doubt it would be just the album.
In contrast to the Gentlemen Take Polaroids will not find here filled with nostalgia, airy climate and reaching for their heart-type composition Nightporter.Tin Drum is cold, The calculated synth sounds, which already form a whole other composition that I was quite hard to believe at the beginning, the work of the two discs are the same zespolu.Na his fifth disc gentlemen of Japan in August, finally freed from the influences definitely Roxy Music (by the way, another group, which drew heavily from their work, how many in the early 80's it was!), rejected the new romanticism in favor of rhythmic synthpop and a clarification of the band characteristic of the music on brzmienie.W Tin Drum climates dominate the Far East (a fantastic instrumental "Canton", endearing simplicity of implementation, "Visons Of China" or my favorite on the disc, "Still Life In Mobile Homes"), sprinkled with mechanical percussion, distinctive bass Mick Karn (who IMO only on this record shows what it really become), and synthesizers, which dominate, pushing into the background gitary.Ta last "Japanese" studio disc is largely any later announced that the achievements of Sylvian's solo and the culmination of the group that started their musical journeys from glam rock to in the 80 century deal with the creation of multi-layered soundscapes, with each successive listener odlsuchu showing more and more new oblicza.Nie no whip, Tin Drum, in contrast to the group's first album for example, Steve Strange, this product is reusable, its wealth of musical mogacy bestow many wspolczesnych.Milego play!
PS: Referring to the not so far past utyskiwan someone named Anonymous on plate prices in Poland, I might add that this album (remastered version, unfortunately, the cover of the paczuszce comparisons can be found for all three versions) bought for the ridiculous sum of 35 zlociszy serpent.pl online store, and in Germany the same disc costs 20 eur! Seek and ye shall find!
