The third album by the British new wave band Japan.
You can hear their unique talent as they transitioned from glam rock to synth rock. Includes the title track "Quiet Life," the single "Life in Tokyo," and a cover of the Velvet Underground and Nico song "All Tomorrow's Parties."
The album features an art rock synth style reminiscent of David Bowie's "Low," and can be considered a pioneer of New Romanticism.
