benoit b: japonaiserie

 'Japonaiserie was the term the Dutch post-impressionist painter Vincent van Gogh used to express the influence of Japanese art. Artists including Manet, Degas and Monet, followed by Van Gogh, began to collect the cheap colour wood-block prints called ukiyo-e prints.' A mini LP by Benoit B, the boss of Banlieue Records, on which he creates a futuristic environment influenced by the Japanese electronics of the '80s. A musical 'Japanaiserie' that can melt your cold cold heart.
