The trailer for the new series of the bcc series 'awaking the dead' reminds me again of how strange and haunting the(synth)sounds Japan used were(I think they used a Prophet?) And those peculiar basslines...

The basslines were due to Mick Karn's fretless bass playing. He did a pretty good job on Gary Numan's 'Dance' album too.

Sylvian :

"Tin Drum was a wonderful challenge to work on. Richard (Barbieri) and I were stretching ourselves enormously in terms of programming new sounds. We only used a Prophet 5 and an OBX and tried to emulate fictitious musical instruments."

Those Japan sounds (the band not the country)
