Have you listened to Tin Drum? Japan are not "100% English new wave".
I put *imo* stamp in my post, did you not see?

I swear that I didn't know that Mr Sylvian is already in PA' Crossover prog section!
That's great actually.

David Sylvian (solo) has been deemed a Crossover Prog artist on this site, and Japan provided the necessary seeds for this subsequent path - thus, Japan is related to prog.  Not prog itself, but prog-related.

The Cure have no such connections, thus they are not deemed prog-related.

Sylvian solo output is prog-related but Japan is not imo.


I meant post- Japan output in various forms.

Just wondering how Japan have been designated prog-related on the PA site and The Cure, Simple Minds and Big Country and a number of similar bands have not. Can't see how their music is anything more prog-related than those mentioned above.

Is it only because David Sylvian later collaborated with Fripp? Discuss.
