## Description

CD reissue. This is a classic album that really has stood the test of time in spite of it being a very fashion-conscious creation. This is the tight five-piece Japan that featured Rob Dean alongside the more familiar Richard Barbieri, Steve Jansen, Mick Karn and David Sylvian. With Obscure Alternatives, released only seven months after their debut album Adolescent Sex, Japan is transforming from the glam roots of their debut to experiments with post-punk and funk. With the title track, musically unique and uncategorizable, it announces the beginning of their later Japan sound' with Mick Karn on his bass mixed way up front and David Sylvian developing his role performer and as a singer.

Review: it is a nice cd - I love David Sylvian. And listening to Japan music is a real delight. So don't hesitate to purchase this cd if you want to listen to a good new wave cd. This was not one of those cds that everyone used to know in Mexico in the 80's. But it is a good idea to take the risk and purchase it. enjoy...
Review: Just a great recording great production - This is a great sounding album better than the first one

A blast from the past for me but still IMO the best Japan 'album'...and I had them all! Excellent sound quality with some bonus tracks that add nothing.
