Mick Karn was an English-Cypriot musician and songwriter, best known as the bassist for the art rock/new wave band <en>Japan</en>. His distinctive fretless bass sound and melodic playing style were a trademark of the band's sound. Mick emigrated to the UK from Cyprus in the early 1960s and met the other founding members of Japan at Catford Boys' School in London. Japan became one of the most celebrated bands of the 1980s, with huge interest in their music even today.

Mick Karn was not only a talented musician but also an all-round artist. He changed the perception of how bass is played and heard forever with his unique playing style that many describe as "as if Bootsy Collins was from Morocco." In addition to playing bass, Mick also played woodwind instruments such as clarinet and saxophone.

Outside of music, Mick was a celebrated sculptor, author, chef, and even qualified in psychiatry. He spoke several languages and published his autobiography titled "Japan and Self Existence" in 2009. After Japan disbanded, Mick continued to work on various musical projects including jazz, ambient, prog genres both as a solo artist and collaborating with other great musicians.

Back In Stock

Now on mid price cd. Fifth solo album from former Japan / Rain Tree Crow / Dalis Car bassist, Mick Karn now on vinyl for the first time. 'Each Eye A Path' is on 180 gram black vinyl, with original cover artwork and a printed inner sleeve bag. Originally released in 2001 on Medium Productions, Mick Karn's own label, this powerfully inventive album features Mick on vocals and a variety of instruments as well as some typically tasteful contributions from Steve Jansen, who along with mixing the album contributed additional drums and percussion. These uniquely adventurous and evocative tracks, written and arranged between 1995 and 1999, show Karn's yearning to go back to the basics of writing, without the luxury of any modern recording technology - the result is very minimal in its actual instrumentation, yet often rich by the sheer density of their use, an album of mood swings, darkness often replaced by light, melancholy thoughts by hope. This is Mick Karn at his most intimate and unfettered.
