Guest SecondaryCell Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 One of the most unique and amazing bass players to ever walk this planet. Also a composer, woodwind player, sculptor and painter. The world is a little darker today... http://www.mickkarn.net Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kaini Posted January 5, 2011 Author Share Posted January 5, 2011 mick was possibly the finest fretless electric bass player of the 80s... he kinda spawned a brief period where everyone was imitating his style (see: paul young - come back and stay) also, japan were well named... they were huge in japan and china; after one tour, mick acquired a hot japanese girlfriend, who left him for david sylvian (the singer, and another amazing musician whose solo catalogue is well worth checking out)... anyway that was the end of japan. and i suppose the fact he didn't play on their biggest (and most idm) hit was just as important: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xzb341LQ5A8 check that fucking amazing prophet patch.
