I listened to the DE of Japan: Tin Drum last night and was pleasantly surprised. It contains the hit which I remember from the original release, "The Art of Parties", and the whole thing sounds like Eno-era Roxy Music, cerebral, quirky, and at turns angular and meditative.

I've long hypothesized that David Sylvian spent many lonely hours of his adolescence locked in his bedroom listening to Roxy Music/Bryan Ferry albums.
