Japan - Were they EVER good?

i know he's able to speak in a normal conversational voice

Maybe not. His voice completely mesmerized me. I remember how I first thanked him for the concert & 'The Other Side Of Life', then asked for an autograph, then meant to ask him about those reissues but there were more people waiting and they asked for autographs before I could ask. I still managed to say that I had a question for him. While he was signing, he said to me "You can ask your question." and the way he said that was like a magic spell. Soft, calm, soothing and caressing but also strong and deep. Guy's a wizard.

His speaking voice was like he's also heard on his later 'Uncommon Deities' record.
