Description
Oil on Canvas is a live album by the English new wave band Japan, released in June 1983 on Virgin Records - their final release before disbanding that same year. Recorded during their celebrated 1982 Tin Drum tour, it captures David Sylvian, Mick Karn, Steve Jansen, Richard Barbieri and Rob Dean at their atmospheric, art-pop peak.
The 15-track set includes Ghosts, Nightporter, Visions of China, Gentlemen Take Polaroids and Quiet Life, showcasing the band's distinctive blend of slow, cinematic synth-pop that set them apart from their contemporaries.
80's slow & atmospheric synth-pop. Unlike anything else.
