Preminuo Mik Karn
Pratio sam dogadjaje oko njegove bolesti preko nj. vebsajta, inace je upao u finansijske poteskoce zbog troskova lecenja, pa se i vratio na rodni Kipar (EDIT. U blicu pise da je bio u Celziju... Well). Organizovala se neka pomoc, tribute CD i tako, slali telegrami podrske. Japan su bili moji heroji iz oko 1980-te, a Karn je bio olicenje te artsy-funky sofisticiranosti. Secam se teksta u Startu iz tog vremena u kome je pisalo o njemu kao o potpunoj "umetnickoj eskapadi" (bavio se i vajarstvom). Fuck, sve prodje, samo prerano, prerano...Nesto iz najboljih dana... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zLhF2ptc3fIEDIT.JOHN [TAYLOR] REMEMBERS MICK KARN
January 4th, 2011It is with great sadness we read of the passing away of Mick Karn, Japan bassist and super-sideman, one of the great visual and sound stylists of the late-seventies/early-eighties.Nick and I first saw Japan at Barbarellas in Birmingham on their ‘Obscure Alternatives’ tour and were blown away. They were so fresh, while every other band in town were tripping over each other in a rush to play the same three chords, Japan were brave in many ways. When I think back to that night the image that first comes to mind first is beautiful Mick, red hair and Ibanez bass, shaved eyebrows and ballet shoes, shuffling around the floor like a docile robot, playing also with great beauty and verve, punching delicate holes in the fabric of the songs; in Mick Karn’s basslines no notes were ever wasted.It is a great tragedy to me that the members of Japan were never able to quite get over themselves and find a way to work again together, as Japan. The Rain Tree Crow episode was a disaster, more-so if the rumors about David were true, changing his mind about calling the project Japan, once the album had been started and he held all the cards.I did not follow Mick’s work past Dali’s Car, but got to speak to him last year as we both made contributions to the David Bowie tribute, ‘We Were So Turned On’. We made tentative plans to meet in London, and Duran discussed Mick contributing to ‘All You Need is Now’. It never happened.Mick changed my life in a good way, ‘Quiet Life’ and ‘Gentlemen Take Polaroids’, ‘Adolescent Sex’ and ‘Tin Drum’ are amongst the best recordings made during the post-punk era in my view. Mick’s sax playing also was always interesting.He shall be missed.

Jako mi je zao zbog smrti Mick Karna! Na Japan sam otkidao jos kao klinac. Jos imam neke kasete sa Sylvianovim i Mick Karnovim solo projektima. Drago mi je da se ekipa ponovo okupila kao Rain Tree Crow, nazalost i zadnji put.

u beogradu zivi bivsa zena saksofoniste koji je odsvirao verovatno najpoznatiji solo na tom instrumentu u novijoj istoriji pop muzike - "baker street". nebitna prica ali znam da sam bio iskreno fasciniran tom trivijom kada sam je upoznao.
Možda Raphael Ravenscroft nije marka ranga Dicka Parryja sa "Dark Side of the Moon" ili Dicka Heckstall-Smitha iz Colosseuma, ali taj solo mi je terao žmarce još od kada sam ga čuo prvi put. Kako vele, Raferti je bio velemajstor da kao od šale napiše prvoklasnu melodiju, a to nije čest dar.
