Oil
on Canvas is a live album by the English band Japan, released in June
1983 by Virgin Records. It was released six months after the band had
broken up, and became their highest charting album in the UK, peaking at
number 5.
The live tracks on the double-album were taken from the
band's performances at the Hammersmith Odeon in November 1982, during
their final live concert tour. With guitarist Rob Dean having left the
band in spring 1981, Japanese musician Masami Tsuchiya (then of the
group Ippu-Do) was added to the touring line-up on guitar and additional
keyboards. The band also used backing tracks to supply additional
instrumental parts (for example, in contrast to some previous tours
where a guest saxophonist was recruited, many of Karn's saxophone lines
were played from tape.)
Billed as a live recording, Jansen later
admitted that only the drums were actually recorded live, the rest being
recorded in a studio. The album also contained three new instrumental
studio tracks ("Oil on Canvas", "Voices Raised in Welcome, Hands Held in
Prayer" and "Temple of Dawn"), recorded separately by Sylvian,
Sylvian/Jansen and Barbieri respectively (the name of Barbieri's track
is taken from the novel The Temple of Dawn by the acclaimed Japanese
novelist Yukio Mishima).
