Fascinating musician who’s criminally underrated and surely missed..RIP Mick

RIP Mick , you were very special, unique, a craftsman with 4 and 5 strings , i'm honoured to have seen you live 3 times , god bless you ////

What a legend. His basslines are completely insane

I sometime put a Japan album on purely to listen to Mick Karn's incredible bass playing.

Mick Karn was absolutely gorgeous, elegant, and very regal. 🥰✨💕He just takes your breath away. 😔 😢🕊️💐💖

One of the most talented men ever. His prowess was beyond any I’ll ever experience. Not just his bass playing but synth, percussion and of course horns. So many levels of genius. Truly missed.

He was such a legend and a rare talent . His bass playing was fascinating and inspiring . His dance moves were iconic too . Sadly missed . Thank you Mick for the fantastic music ❤️🙏❤️

My goodness Mick Karn was utterly stunning, sigh. And his fretless bass playing was and is THE best

Pino Palladino's work with Gary Numan was pretty great, as well.

I love Mick so much, and he does NOT look like he’d have the voice he does 😭. He’s gorgeous and sooo talented. RIP Mick Karn :(

I LOVE THIS! MICK WAS A SUPERSTAR!

amazing dude. not many bass players i enjoy more than his material

I had 'Titles' by Mick Karn on cassette. This track 'Passion in Moisture' is an excellent example of how only Mick could make a fretless 'talk' like that.

Mick, you are one the biggest influences on my musical career. Hope you're still grooving in the great gig in the sky!

BASS GOD... MICK KARN.

What an incredible guy

A great genius, my bass style will take a new direction ❤

Mick Karn was the man. One of the best English bassists of all time, no contest.

Nationality doesn't come into it. Show me a more original bass player worldwide.

Such a talented guy

Thank you mick for all that great music

MickKarnの話し声が低くてバリトンVoiceなのが最高!アートが趣味で彫刻の作品は彼独特の物で良いですね

Such wonderful movement, music and dance; the contrast of tension with a strong hint of Argentine tango mesmerized me.

Great bass player and very handsome man🎸🎷👍

Very talented bassist, but yes handsome man. I know Sylvian is obviously beautiful, but Karn was a strikingly, almost mysterious look. Never thought about that before.

RIP indeed. Such a unique talent. Great to see he had any period of time apart from japan and able to experiment in different directions

I went to his sculpture exhibition, and saw a number of those items seen here on the clip. Added bonus: "That looks like Sue Menhenick.....it IS Sue Menhenick" A top dancer, and stunningly attractive woman.

Mick: we miss you.

never forget my mother shouting 'it sounds like a bull frog' when i was playing it.

This dance is absolutely fantastic! Just discovering Mick Karn's work. Should be performed on Strictly Come Dancing-wouldn't that be great?

No! Strictly is anything but strict. It's a fixed show they know who the inner is before the series starts.

Genius, unpredictable. Robot like dancing can be artful with music. Robot like music can be artful with dancing. Such a talent. Looks like the dancer’s tend to move faster. I think there’s a synchronization problem.

Polytown (Torn, Karn, Bozzio) is a fantastic album !!!

Amazing Mick ! Thanks for sharing !

Thanks for the quality!

Thanks for posting this !!! ;D

So hot RIP

Great artist !!!

thank you

I got into Mick Karn's stuff when Three Part Species came out. 2006? It really doesn't seem that long ago, but I guess it took me over a decade to get around to picking up The Concrete Twin and Titles. Such an expressive musician; thanks for sharing this brief look at the man behind the music.

Superb

Shoot, I saw the Ballet Rambert perform in Tokyo in 1990, never realised he was involved at a certain time!

'Sensitive' is a sensational piece of music.

think about a hall full of people all dancing like that.

@@AA4PJM I know about him. Was just having a giggle. Not stepping on his grave or nothing. Settle

This guy is smart, he was a Psychotherapist too.

did he ever end up writing music for ballet? edit: never mind, addressed in the video, lol

Anyone know what Mick means by this hand busienss? Did they ever come to life Compare Dreams of Reason produce monsters

The dancing looks like it was heavily influenced by the body-popping/robotic dancing craze of the early/mid 1980s.

Who are his wife and children?

Smoking killed Karn

Life killed Andonis Michaelides. I'm going to miss this man's music so much. I think he'd really hit a run of form with the albums Each eye a path, More better different, Three part species and The Concrete twin. This track, Passion in moisture, sounds so modern to my ears, as does much of Titles. So talented and yet so apparently full of self doubt. Seems to so often be the way with the truly gifted.

Yeah, you can hear it in his voice at this point in time he smoked a lot.

Some interview. About 1 minute with Mick, and the rest a load of bollocks.

ABSOLUTELY WORTHLESS
