After Japan he did a collaboration album with Peter Murphy of Bauhaus (Dali's Car) along with a load of other stuff including Kate Bush (that's right Lee) of all people.
Karn is considered by many bassists as a genuine and important influence.
It's a pity he hasn't got the same kind of recognition amongst most music fans as he does with musicians.
A bit like the Johnny Marr of bass playing. A bassist's, bassist...so to speak.
Throw in his talent for keyboards and the oboe and you have one brilliant and influential musician.
