R-I-P Mick Karn, a true true talent and THE most amazing bass player that ever lived, I will never forget the Japan gig I went to in 1982, the best ever and Mick made it, what a talent.........sad times......... zzzsjp

Don't think anyone could dispute that. BN is a genius

Mick was another genius like Bill; I was engineering in RicRac Studio in Leeds when he came in to put the bass on this track and the sparks were flying. David Sylvian, Yukihiro Takahashi & others were asking Bill to play guitar on their projects and of course all this has stood the test of time. It's great to see how much this music is appreciated ;~}

And having Mick Karn on this record was an act of genius - what a sound.  Love it.

@wjf1950 Absolutely nothing like Jaco. Thank god!

Any Karn fans who haven't heard his solo album should get hold of a copy - one track in particular for me 'Passion in Moisture' is just amazing - not unlike this bassline.

@littlenige One of the things I find so fascinating about this song is Mick's ability to almost play outside the confines of the song, there appears to be scant rhythm or meter in his playing, but it fits so tightly into the song, and the magical way he wanders around the notes is one of the most powerful aspects of this song. It also helps to have a musical genius the likes of Bill Nelson steering that glorious ship!

not Be Bop at all. Wish they were seperate. Bill played real guitar in BBD and was creditable rock music. This is experimental 80s stuff. and the bass is nice, but not mind breaking.
