3 stars It goes without saying that Japan had the most success with Oil on Canvass. This was their most warmly received release. It also needs mentioning that while we assess UK/USA sales statistics they also had big sales in Asia for this album. Again their growth as individuals showed that they are collectively producing a better sound. The fact that there was much friction between band members perhaps assisted this output. Most of Tin Drum the last studio album is on Oil On Canvass which is not surprising considering it was their best release. There is a good warm atmosphere on this album ( in a sterile kind of way!) and makes for great rare quality live album from the 80's for any prog genre.Three and a half stars.
