FACT SHEET ARTIST: 4~\ TITLE: i Exorcising FACT SHEET ARTIST: Japan TITLE: Exorcising Ghosts Japan were one of the most unusual and exciting bands of the last ten years. They built up a committed following which still exists today. After many requests, David Sylvian put together this double album retrospective of some of Japan’s finest output covering the final three years of their work together. . The running order has been carefully chosen to ensure continuity of sound and atmosphere, and all titles included are in their original full length un-edited format, as the band intended them to be. Included are two instrumental pieces ‘A Foreign Place’ and ‘Life Without Buildings’ both previously unavailable on album, as well as favourites ‘Ghosts’, ‘Quiet Life’, ‘Methods of Dance’ and ‘Night Porter’. The album reaches a climax with the 12" single version of ‘The Art of Parties’.
