    About this album

    Oil On Canvas is a striking live document from Japan, capturing the band’s sleek art-rock and synth-pop at full strength just as their career was approaching its end. Issued in 1983, the album drew on recordings from the final phase of the band’s evolution and presents refined versions of key songs from Gentlemen Take Polaroids, Tin Drum and Quiet Life. Japan’s controlled dynamics, Michael Brook and co-production polish, and David Sylvian’s detached vocal style helped turn their elegant new wave into something singular and influential. More than a routine concert set, it stands as a vivid summary of one of the most distinctive British bands of the era.
