Classic Japan - By: Mr. M. A. West, 02 Jul 2007
I must say this is there tour de force as far as I am concerned , less bombastic than Adolescent Sex, more smooth than Obscure Alternatives & just about better than Gentlemen Take Poloroids & Tin Drum.
Every Track is a winner as other above albums have highs & several lows.
Sylvians voice is on top form here between the screech & the drone,Its a a shame they couldn`t add on I Second That Emotion instead of 3 versions of the sublime All Tomorrows Parties & 2 versions of Quiet Life.
Cest La vie.

Class - By: Paul Andrews, 15 Nov 2006
Describing music is difficult, but if you like early Eno (e.g. "Music For Films", "Another Green World") Roxy Music's "For your Pleasure" or David Bowie's "Heroes" there is a good chance you'll love this album. It is beautifully played & put together; the production is top grade. The music is haunting & warm. These guys were some of the top musicicans of the time, yet most dismissed them as a glam pop rock outfit that arrived too late. They weren't at alll. This album & its predecessor "Obscure Alternatives" go together well. They each have a different feel, "Quite Life" is slicker & less cold than "Obscure Alternatives", but there is a musical connection between the two that lets you see their progression as musicians. Highly recommended.
