Editorial Reviews

A selection of tracks taken mainly from various solo albums spanning 13 years, with the exception of Lunette from the Liquid Glass album, a collaboration between Mick Karn and Japanese Drum and Bass artist Yoshihiro Hanno. It's a kind of best of from the former Japan bassist. The pieces illustrate Mick's unique style of bass playing and the diversity of his work. Recently referred to in the country of Japan as "the God of bass guitar", Mick's influence within music is undisputed, changing the way bass is heard as well as played for generations to come. Pete Townshend of The Who goes as far as rating him "the best bass player in the world". The majority of these albums have never been made available to stores and were only available from Mick's website.

5.0 out of 5 stars MORE THAN BASS, November 10, 2010
This review is from: Selected (Audio CD)
Please do not let the aformentioned review sway your purchase of this amazing compilation of Mick's music. Starting in the group Japan in the early '70s, at age 16, Mick did not know how to play bass, horns, keyboards etc. and he has become one of the most admired players in progressive music. Mick is more than a bass machine, and this album is a good place to start to see the progression of his work as an artist playing often with other artists and and using his woodwind instruments to perfection. It will display the many beautiful styles of music he has recorded. His fretless style is unsurpassed, this record takes you on a journey of Mick's music up to this point. He is always moving in new directions and this album will demonstrate this. I do agree with the other review, in that you should buy the records he suggests to get even a fuller experience of Mick Karn's music.

1.0 out of 5 stars Selected? Umm wheres the bass?, January 22, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Selected (Audio CD)
If you are familiar with his playing and want to hear him play bass, avoid this record. Maybe noticed a BIT of bass in the background every now and then...otherwise just noise over what sounds like a hip-hop beat with maybe a few fretless notes played on loop....BUY Polytown or Tooth Mother if you want to hear any bass...
