A true virtuoso on fretless bass with that rarest of qualities: a unique sound. Such a loss to the world of music, but a fantastic legacy of great recordings ensures he will never be forgotten.

I jumped here so fast l scared my cat. BRILLIANT work. I wish Japan was more well known, they had such a unique feel to them. David Sylvian has continued making such avant garde and beautiful work. His voice and sense of melody are just phenomenal. Ive loved finding out more about Mick, I always liked his style and the artwork he did as well. Quiet Life has been playing on my iPad all week. Im sooooo happy you’ve done this episode! Such a loss to the world when Mick passed. THANK YOU!❤️

I've never heard of Mick Karn before but he lived an interesting life. Seems a shame as soon as they did start to get famous they broke up, wish they could have put their differences aside 💔 Thank you for this video and all you do, I love learning about musicians, whether new or old ❤❤❤

How I wish I saw them live, bit too young at the time and on the otherside of the world. I only bought Assemblage because I liked the album cover, didn't know who they were but was addicted after the first play.

Tin Drum is an ambient-pop masterpiece: in no small measure this is due to Mick’s fluid bass. Also, no mention of Rain Tree Crow?

Oh no! Don't tell me he's died! One of those bands I hated at the time but now realise were really good. Ironically the best place to get treatment for cancer now is in Japan. Makes you think.

@newforestpixie5297 2 ай бұрын

although they were too sophisticated for my tastes back then you couldn’t ignore their sound & style in spite of the cult band level of attention they garnered musically in Britain during an era they ironically had championed years before their contemporaries.
