Japan besto av
vokalist og frontfigur David Sylvian (David Batt), bassist Mick
Karn, trommeslager og Davids bror Steve Jansen (Steve Batt),
keyboardist Richard Barbieri og gitarist Rob Dean. De ble venner i
skoleårene og ble raskt regnet som avvikere da de utviklet
interesse for sminke og glorete klær. Redningen ble musikken, og glam-rock bandet Japan ble dannet i 1974. Først etter fire år fikk
de sin første platekontrakt og bandets to første albumer, "Adolescent
Sex" og "Obscure Alternatives", ble utgitt i 1978. Her fikk man
høre et utforskende band med noe uklare musikalske uttrykk. Få
sanger på disse albumene vitnet om musikalsk storhet, kanskje med
unntak av tittelkuttet på Obscure Alternatives. Albumene ble ingen
suksess, bortsett fra i Japan hvor bandet raskt fikk høy status. I
ettertid har da også Sylvian & Co nærmest fornektet albumene, mye
på samme måte som Kraftwerk i senere år har behandlet sine første
utgivelser. Ved utgivelsen av deres tredje album, "Quiet Life", i
1980 begynte ting å skje. Japan hadde nå forandret seg til et mer
sofistikert og stilsikkert band. Sylvians stemme hadde fått noe av
sin dype fløyelsklang som ofte, men urettferdig, blir beskylt for
å plagiere Bryan Ferry eller David Bowie. Musikken var nå mer
laid-back. Senere samme året kom deres fjerde album, "Gentlemen Take Polaroids", hvor det nå også ble benyttet elementer og
lydkulisser fra østens musikk. Med disse to utgivelsene hadde
Japan endelig klart å opparbeide seg en velfortjent status.
Sylvians stemme og evner som låtskriver, Karns utrolige spill på
sine båndløse (fretless) basser, Jansens særegne tromming og
Barbieris synth-atmosfærer hadde omsider åpnet øynene på
rockpublikumet. Deans gitar ble mer og mer diffus i Japans sound
og klarte aldri å oppta en sentral rolle i musikken. Om dette
faktum var avgjørende for at Dean nå forlot bandet er uklart men
ved utgivelsen av Japans siste og mest suksessfulle album, "Tin
Drum", i 1981 var bandet nå redusert fra kvintett til kvartett.
Det lille som var igjen av gitar ble nå utført av Sylvian. På Tin
Drum ble bandets interesse for japansk og kinesisk musikk
ytterligere forsterket og musikken hadde fått en mer markert sound
med avanserte rytme- og basselementer. Med låtene "Visions of
China" og "Ghosts" oppnådde Japan sin største kommersielle
suksess. Etter denne utgivelsen ble kjemien i bandet forurenset av
indre uro og Japan ble oppløst i 1982. Rivalisering og kunstnerisk
uenighet mellom Sylvian og Karn ble Japans bane. Savnet etter
Japan skulle imidlertid ikke bli langvarig. Alle medlemmene,
hovedsaklig Sylvian og Karn, skulle bli gode bidragsytere med
soloprosjekter fremover. Til tross for problemene i 1982 klarte
ex-Japan likevel å samle seg rundt et nytt prosjekt; "Rain Tree
Crow", med en utgivelse av samme navn som ble utgitt i 1991. En mer
flyktig og atmosfærisk utgivelse enn Japan men svært vellykket.
Etter et samarbeid med japaneren Ryuichi Sakamoto som resulterte i
et par singleutgivelser, blant annet "Forbidden Colours" som ble
brukt i filmen "Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence" med David Bowie,
kom David Sylvians første soloalbum, "Brilliant Trees" i 1984. Elemeter fra Japans sound var fortsatt hørbart men musikken var mer ambient og inneholdt tydelige jazzstrukturer. Her samarbeidet
Sylvian dessuten med storheter innenfor eksperimentell og ambient
musikk som Holger Czukay og Jon Hassell i tillegg til Sakamoto.
Tekstmessig hadde Sylvian beveget seg over i poesien med svevende
og såre tekster spunnet inn i et vakkert og sart lydbilde. Sylvian
har deretter gitt ut relativt få men jevnt over behagelige plater.
"Secrets of The Beehive" fra 1987 regnes av mange som Sylvians
musikalske høydepunkt. Alle har i større eller mindre grad vært en
naturlig fortsettelse av Brilliant Trees. På samleutgivelsen "Camphor" fra
2002 bidrar blant annet norske Nils Petter Molvær på ett kutt.
Sylvians siste prosjekt, "Snow Borne Sorrow" fra 2005, ble gitt ut
under navnet "Nine Horses". Igjen et umisskjennelig Sylvian-produkt og et kvalitetsmessig fremskritt i forhold til
sine siste, rene soloutgivelser. Særlig tittelkuttet viser storhet
og Sylvians stemme har aldri vært bedre. I tillegg til
soloprosjektene kan man også lytte til samarbeidsutgivelser med
Holger Czukay fra Can og Robert Fripp fra King Crimson.
Utgivelsene med Czukay er i hovedsak lange maleriske musikkstykker
mens de mer interessante samarbeidsprosjektene med Fripp ligger
nærmere tradisjonell rock med Fripps umisskjennelige gitar som et
gjennomgående, viktig element. En heller uinteressant utgivelse,
"World Citizen" i samarbeid med Sakamoto, ble utgitt i 2003.
Mick Karn startet sin solokarriere med "Titles" i 1982. Dette
var nærmest et pop-album med tildels fengende låter blandet med
Karns sære basspill. Utgivelsene deretter har i større grad hatt
hovedfokus på instrumentale låter, kun unntaksvis med vokal. Karns
musikk er ofte svært eksperimentell og progressiv. Det kan være en
utfordring å tilnærme seg Karns univers men samtidig fascinerende
lytting. Båndløs bass med en viss gummiklang danner oftest et
komplekst bakteppe til underlige melodier. Sax er Karns andre
hovedinstrument og benyttes hyppig. Høydepunkt fra karrieren må
være "Bestial Cluster" fra 1992 og "More Better Different"
fra 2003. I tillegg har Karn deltatt på flere
samarbeids-prosjekter. Med Jansen og Barbieri fra Japan, David Torn og
Terry Bozzio (fra Zappa-band), Midge Ure fra Ultravox, japaneren
Hanno Yoshihiro, Andy Rinehart og sist men ikke minst Peter Murphy fra Bauhaus på
et prosjekt som gikk under navnet "Dalis Car". Dalis Car ga ut en
LP, "The Waking Hour", i 1984 og var et svært vellykket prosjekt.
Karn deltok forøvrig på Gary Numans album "Dance" og han har
arbeidet med Kate Bush, blant annet til hennes siste album "Aerial".
Hans bidrag ble dessverre ikke valgt på den ferdige utgivelsen. I
tillegg til musikk har Karn også klart å oppnå en viss
anerkjennelse som skulptør.
Trommeslager Steve Jansen og keyboardist Richard Barbieri har
holdt en noe lavere profil etter oppløsningen av Japan. Begge har
vært studiomusikere til flere av Sylvians og Karns soloutgivelser.
De har flere utgivelser bak seg, enten som "Jansen & Barbieri"
eller "The Dolphin Brothers", men også sammen med Mick Karn (JBK)
og andre mer ukjente samarbeidsparnere. Jansens og Barbieris
musikk
har sjelden høstet mange lovord, så den store suksessen har
uteblitt. Låtene var rett og slett for svake og Jansens forsøk som
vokalist bør helst glemmes. Særlig "Catch The Fall" fra 1987 med The Dolphin Brothers fikk mye fortjent juling av kritikerne. Unntak må være
"Worlds In
A Small Room" fra 1986, "Stories Across Borders" fra 1991,
"_ism" fra 1999,
Pulseutgivelsene til Jansen fra
98-99 og "Changing
Hands" fra 1997 med Jansen, Barbieri og Takemura som faktisk er et
knippe
bra utgivelser. Richard Barbieri har kun bidratt med et par rene
soloutgivelser. "Things
Buried" fra 2004 er en sterk halvambient utgivelse.
Richard Barbieri ble i 1993 fullverdig medlem av progrock-bandet
Porcupine Tree.
Bandets første utgivelse kom året før. Frem til i dag har
Porcupine Tree gitt ut en rekke albumer og opparbeidet seg et godt
omdømme innen stilarten. Personlig synes jeg nok at bandet er i
overkant "arty", noe som også gjenspeiles i låttitler og
coverdesign. Den relativt røffe musikken bryter sterkt med
Barbieris image som sky og stillferdig. Gitarist Rob Dean ble i 1982
medlem av synthpop bandet Vivabeat. Han har også jobbet sporadisk
med Jansen & Barbieri og han bidro med gitar på ett kutt på Gary
Numans album "Dance" og på Sinéad O'Connors debutalbum "The Lion
And The Cobra". |
