Dalis Car C/D?

This album is all sorts of crazy good. I think all the best adjectives have already been used - sinister, sinewy, startling. It's these sorts of albums that I wonder, do they still work or did you have to have heard them when they came out?

No apostrophe for these guys, right?

Right!

this album is beyond classic. works as a nice companion to Mick Karn's first solo album, Titles

No apostrophe. Some accolades though.

Very underrated

An EP was completed before Karn passed:

Mick's final work has yet to be released and is a collaboration with Peter Murphy as 'Dalis Car 2'. The duo were reunited in a studio in Oxford at the end of September last year to begin work and four tracks were completed over the ensuing months - a slow process due to Mick's declining health. Steve has just finishing mixing the four tracks which will be released as an EP.

More news to follow soon on this including release date.

Further to which:

Mick Karn, who tragically succumbed to cancer in January of this year, would have been 53 on July 24th, 2011.

To commemorate Mick's birthday, as a treat for fans, a taster for Mick's last completed project (a new Dali's Car EP) is being offered as a download.

Artemis is a re-working of an instrumental from the band's debut album and features new vocal and lyrical contributions from Peter Murphy, as well as additional instrumentation from Steve Jansen, Jakko M Jakszyk and others.

A superb reunion with Peter Murphy, the forthcoming EP, In Glad Aloneness, continues the intense and exotic experiments of the band's cult classic from 1984, The Waking Hour.

All profits will be donated to Mick's son and wife.

N.B. The download will be available from Burning Shed's Mick Karn store from 24/7/11 onwards.

Any update on this? Has anyone heard the EP?

InGladAloneness is an EP by the collaboration between Peter Murphy of Bauhaus and Mick Karn of Japan. n August 2010, Peter Murphy announced on Twitter that he and Karn were planning to head into the studio in September to begin work on the second Dali's Car album. The project was cut short, however, as Karn had recently been diagnosed with cancer. He died on 4 January 2011. According to Karn's website, five of the tracks they did record will be shipped on April 5, 2012. as an EP entitled InGladAloneness. The tracks were mastered by Murphy in Istanbul and the artwork for the EP, created by Murphy with Thomas Bak, is being finalised.

I keep coming across cheap goth records in 2nd hand shops these days that I'm not familiar with, so I decided to download some of them and see if they're worth picking up. So far I've liked a bit of (earlier) Play Dead and Danse Society but I'm really liking the Dali's Car album. Can't remember which shop I saw it in now of course.

Was this new EP any good then?

It was very good, albeit not at the same level as the album. The timing of Mick's death added a layer of sadness to listening to it, so that influences my reaction.

I had somehow never heard the news that Mick Karn passed away.

it is awesome that this thread got bumped today. though very few Dalis Car songs made it, see 25. The Judgement is the Mirror From: The Waking Hour 145 Points, 4 Votes:
