Tin Drum

by Japan

Tin Drum cover art

Japan's final studio album completely abandons their early glam-rock affectations for a remarkably complex, highly atmospheric fusion of new wave and Eastern modalities. 'Tin Drum' heavily utilizes the Prophet-5 synthesizer to meticulously emulate traditional Chinese instruments over incredibly tight, intensely rhythmic fretless basslines, forging a uniquely sophisticated and poetic art-pop masterpiece.
