    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!❤️

    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'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 ❤❤❤

    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?

    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.
