Here is what people are saying about the Japan - Exorcising Ghosts: Best of

"Almost 5 Star"	2005-08-25
- Reviewed By User: ANC3VHA5YVOXL
Shame on EMI. Such a large and cash-rich record company that would stinge a few tracks off this original Double LP that would have made this a Five-Star collection. Shame indeed. Not having bothered to dig out my LPs, I bought this as Japan is one of the bands worth investing in AGAIN after having paid for the original LPs (and record companies who cry about people ripping and exchanging MP3s for free should think about this). The pleasure of hearing all these great tracks again made me forget the missing songs. But one fine day long after the return policy had expired, I discovered the ommission and am sorely disappointed. For example, you'd be missing Swing, a remarkable and one infectious number, a marvel of Japan's subtlety. The minimalist saxophone riff, the imaginative Steve Jansen drumming, the punctuated Sylvian vocals and the uniquely oriental synths and Mick Karn's compelling bass slides makes this an essential part of the album. Taking Islands in Africa is another rarity that ought to have stayed. Now considering David Sylvian managed to fit 70 minutes of music into his Dead Bees In A Cake, the omissions by EMI are by no means technical. It is just pure shameful, just as how they ommitted the last and best instrumental track Silver Moon Over Sleeping Steeples from Sylvian's Gone To Earth. Just ONE more song... how hard could that be? Sheesh. Considering Japan is probably not getting royalties from this CD you might as well get the original albums as suggested.

"Great music - shame some tracks were lost..."	2005-08-04
- Reviewed By gwenxan
When this was originally released in the UK I bought the vinyl and cassette versions. I recently updated to the CD and was taken aback to discover that not all the tracks are on there! No "Swing", "Taking Islands in Africa", or "Sons of Pioneers" (one of my fave Japan tracks) - it's also missing an instrumental track. It's a shame because some of the flavor is lost. Still, this is great music and a reasonable introduction for people new to Japan. I just wish record companies would stop releasing truncated versions of albums - is it really that much more expensive to keep everything intact?

"Wish they could re-release the double CD version!!"	2003-09-15
- Reviewed By robin@sibelius.com
For those US people, this CD was actually originally a double vinyl album in Europe, and sadly this cropped and edited collection, though excellent, misses some really cool stuff like "Sons of Pioneers". If you have to buy one Japan CD, this is it: but really, get all the studio albums!! Oh, and buy all the David Sylvian stuff, especially Brilliant Trees and Gone to Earth (also sadly a double album that became a single, cropped CD).

"Sylvian's Picks"	2002-08-18
- Reviewed By tom97
The songs on this collection were selected by David Sylvian himself. It's a nice glimpse into the Japan material he's most proud of rather than just a tacky "hits" compilation. The real gem here is "Life Without Buildings," a Tin Drum era B-side which is, to my knowledge, available nowhere else. Also included is a punchier, single version of "The Art of Parties." An augmented, Japanese-import edition of this album is (or was) supposedly available, but there's enough here to satisfy.

"Extra Tracks??? NOT!!!"	2002-08-17
- Reviewed By kgprophet
My review pertains only to this particular Amazon listing for "Exorcising Ghosts [EXTRA TRACKS][IMPORT]~Japan". I purchased this in expectation that this was an import from the band named Japan (this is their geatest hits release). I have found listed in a discography that a 2 CD version of "Exorcising Ghosts" was released in the >country< Japan. It's a 2 CD set which does in fact have extra tracks compared to the domestic CD release. What I got for a whopping ($$$) from ... is an import from >HOLLAND<, and is exactly identical to the domestic release, NO EXTRA TRACKS! I can't imagine why anyone would fork over a wad of dough for a CD that you could get for a fraction of the cost????

"A Familiar Dilemma"	2002-01-11
- Reviewed By jdpride
As is often the case, Japan made several terrific albums while contracted to one label, then switched labels to make a few more records, also terrific. The dilemma then is, the fan is left with no definitive "Best Of" release (to see an example of how this problem can be rectified, please listen to XTC's "Upsy Daisy Assortment" combining their Virgin and Geffen years into one flawless collection). Japan had so many great songs, incorporating two very different styles, yet they still seem to embody the fluid transition of musical movement from the more aggressive, punk moods of the late seventies to the more New Romantic musings of the early and mid eighties. In fact, their brief career neatly compacted and mirrored that of their most obvious influence, Roxy Music. From rock classics like "Love Is Infectious" and "Rhodesia" (early Bowie meets Hanoi Rocks) to the swoon inducing "Gentlemen Take Polaroids" (later Bowie meets Bryan Ferry), Japan was a band that still deserves it's legacy to be preserved on disc via a REAL greatest songs release, incorporating the best from both labels (Ariola and Epic). So far, sadly, this wonderfully remembered band has not been given it's proper rememberance.
