On this day (Nov. 13) in 1981: UK art rock band Japan released their 5th & final studio album, Tin Drum, on Virgin Records; it continued their use of electronic elements coupled with traditional instrumentation, but leaned far more towards Far Eastern influences than previous releases; four of its eight tracks were released as singles in the UK (The Art of Parties, Cantonese Boy, Visions of China & Ghosts - the latter reaching UK #5); the album itself peaked at UK #12 - however, in September 2011, Tin Drum was awarded BBC Radio 6 Musics Goldie award retrospectively for The Best Album of 1981…(this & more featured today at Roch Parisiens Rocon Communications music chat page...)
