Born July 24, 1958, Mick Karn first studied wood and wind instruments such as bassoon and clarinet. However, it is his highly distinctive fretless bass voice for which he is most renowned, an accolade placing him next to Jaco Pastorius. According to Karn, bass went unnoticed and his mission was to get it noticed. Even on early Japan recordings, his wiggly bass can be heard. By their swan song, Tin Drum in 1981, he was dubbed one of the best bass players in the world. He'd already supplied bass and sax work to Gary Numan's Dance album and was the first Japan member with a solo record -- Titles. In 1983, Japan's live album, Oil on Canvas, brought his playing to new ears: jazz legend Jan Garberek. The following year brought an unlikely collaboration with Peter Murphy of Bauhaus. The Waking Hour became Dalis Car's only album and soon Karn was again a solo agent teaming up with close friend Steve Jansen to produce Dreams of Reason Produce Monsters. Session work with Kate Bush and Joan Armatrading bridged Karn's solo efforts, which were few and far between, often odd in title and texture (Beard in the Letter Box, Plaster the Magic Tongue). The early '90s saw a more prolific Karn who formed the label Medium with Jansen and Richard Barbieri. All three joined guitarist David Torn to produce his best efforts: Bestial Cluster (1993) and The Tooth Mother in 1995. Between these came an experimental project, Polytown, again with Torn and drummer Terry Bozzio. Its muscular and at times funky prog rock is not for the feint hearted. Karn found time to spend on his sculpture work and a San Francisco sabbatical eventually bore the album Each Eye a Path.

- @李老歪：喜欢japan的理由，mick karn的bass line起码占一多半。
- @十八号机库：黄贯中对Mick karn这位bass巨匠的评价:我曾经问他，他玩奏我的作品时会不会觉得太容易与愚蠢呢？他说∶「愚蠢 就不会专诚来港跟你玩了。」他指出我那首纯音乐是他所弹过最难玩的十首作品之一， 玩David 的作品反而没有那么难，于是他会花整晚来钻研我这首乐章，这的确令我有点受宠若惊。我想这就是我们之间的火花了，大概是他未尝过跟我这样的香港摇滚乐手合作之故，毕竟我有我本土的风格。他更表示过，跟我合作时有点儿回到他在七十年代末夹Band的感觉，我想可能是受到我的录音室境所影响之故，他喜欢这种环境。

- @十八号机库(我还没想好要写什么...)：“他是前辈，也是一位很冷静的乐手，肯花时间来钻研我的作品然后才用心去弹，他透过低音结他奏出来的东西永远不是我们的估计范围内。他的韵律、音调与音阶往往很有启发性，感觉已不像在弹Bass，而是主理着一种混合了敲击、人声与吹口的乐器。”
