18/07/2021 Your music brought me through the worst point of my life. I am forever in your debt. Love you Mick.

01/07/2021 Mick is undoubtedly one of the most unique and boldly original artists that ever lived. i feel nothing but complete astonishment when i listen to his playing, and that feeling never diminishes. i wish i could personally tell him how his work, across music and sculpture, is endlessly inspiring to me, but the fact that i live on the same planet that he did is good enough consolation.

08/05/2021 I was always in complete awe of Mick and his fret bass/saxophone playing talent. I adored Japan as an 11 year old, on a journey discovering my own musical taste. Then later, Mick’s solo and collaborative material. He was an incredible talent and sorely missed. I thought I’d write a message here, as I’ve had a Mick Karn day today, listening to a lot of his music and I just cannot believe it’s been 10 years since he left. What a legacy. Best regards to Mick’s family.

07/03/2021 The death of Mick Karn in 2011 was one of the saddest news from the music world in my life-time. And I only heard about it a few years after it happened. That wasn't just sad but irritating... Mick Karn's bass playing was some of the most beautiful I've heard. "Sons of Pioneers" rivets my ears to the speakers even today. My band even covered one of his solo productions: "Saviour ar you with me"... And "Tin Drum" was the album that inspired the founding concept for my band "The Sweets of Sin". I'm very thankful for this inspiration... Frank

29/01/2021 Mick - You will never be forgotten, Your fretless bass sound is a pure art, like any other activities You've done. I will always spread this fact among my friends.

04/01/2021 10 years ago today you left us, Mick. I have been listening to your weird and wondrous sounds for most of my life. I miss your playful and inventive bass lines and melodies. You have given us much to savor in Japan, JBK, solo word, and collaborations and sessions. You inspired me to make my own music. I feel blessed that I was able to see you play live twice! Once with David Torn and once with JBK. If you listen to the JBK performance at the London Astoria of Japan's Life Without Buildings, you can faintly hear the audience chanting the one line of the song (I see nothing...but I hear everything in my building). I was there in audience singing along, Mick. May your sculptural music continue to move people and change their lives as it has mine. Thank you again, Adonis (Mick). Peace.
