Pete Murphy & Mick Karn Interview The Tube 23/11/84

[@jacksonmiked]

If you just met these guys in the pub you’d think they were just regular nice blokes. They come across as shy, polite and well spoken. You’d have no idea at all that they had such extraordinary musical imaginations.

[@Rocket_scientist_88]

These two music legends standing there being interviewed, and someone behind them is playing *pinball*.

[@garymcghee2249]

Indeed. Pleb.

What you don't know is that's the pinball wizard behind them

[@Agaiola2002]

I am a 20 year old gen z girl, late to the party. I wouldn't say I was "born too late", though, there is something magical about discovering all of the stuff older than me, an entire different generation, it sometimes feels like I'm there. It's a shame I can't find friends that would enjoy it with me though! Both Mick Karn and Peter Murphy have that mysterious, almost mystical aura about them, and their dark music is a one of a kind experience. Rip Mick Karn, I couldn't discover you earlier

[@Agaiola2002]

@Practicalicalicalica I'm sorry I'm not sure I understood what you're trying to say

[@BlueHoursProductions]

Glad you are getting to discover this stuff! Even now, I'm finding music from this time period- like this Karn/Murphy album, which I knew existed but was pretty hard to find back when it was first released.

[@christinebrown7545]

Welcome to the party Gen Z! As a Gen X'er who used to have a black and fuchsia Mohawk and lived for all things darkglam/darkwave, Bauhaus and Peter Murphy are IT! We SO still love them!

[@laurisaarinen1126]

That's exactly what keeps musicians of the past alive in a way, younger people finding them later and connecting with the art. That's the beauty of great music 💗

[@Agaiola2002]

Thank you guys, you are so kind! I love this music and constantly dive deeper and deeper to search for gold from the 60s/70s/80s era. I still listen to Mick Karn and his other projects regularly, they never cease to amaze me

[@filmusikchannel7596]

Mick Karn was an incredibile bassist. An idol

[@deathrockfairy1290]

The two coolest dudes ever. When the New Romantic and Goth/Batcave worlds finally met... It's clear they influenced each other heavily even after Dali's Car broke up. Peter Murphy began to take from more world music and avant-garde influences, culminating finally on Deep. Mick Karn was affected by Peter's dark, dramatic, gothic energy, culminating on Dreams of Reason Produces Monsters. This is literally the band I would go back in time to create (thank goodness it happened anyway, so I don't have to do that).

[@stephenbennett1643]

Japan were never New Romantic ! More like Art Rock i'd say .

[@deathrockfairy1290]

And Bauhaus didn't see themselves as Goth, they saw themselves as "dark glam". It's more a comment on aesthetic than musical sound. Actually Japan did the look and the "sophistipop" sound on Quiet Life before the Blitz Kids made it big.

[@christinebrown7545]

I always say you're not a true Goth unless you sacked Rome. It's absolutely true that they were dark Glam; back in my black and fuchsia Mohawk days-40 years ago-we did not call ourselves Goth. Minimally we were punk but we were very dark. So darkglam/darkwave aptly suited us. We were absolute anarchists, defying convention, norms, etc...the Gen Z who ask me now let me see a pic of your hair back then. I reply, believe it not, NONE of us were walking around with a camera in our pocket. We eschewed all forms of capture.

That bass sends shivers up my spine.

[@anthonyintexas]

I bought this when it came out, at a record store called "Rock Therapy" in Kansas City. I loved it and still do. I'm glad they were able to collaborate at the end of Karn's life, it's a fitting musical statement. Long live the King of fretless Bass!

This is really rather beautiful, visually and musically. Out there and ahead of its time of course.

[@thetamoramay7331]

Peter Murphy was beautiful back then.

[@christinebrown7545]

Oh yes he was absolutely yummy but if you look at his solo work in the late 80s and early 90s look at some videos like cuts you up and Indigo eyes and all night long he absolutely clicked in his presence if you know what I mean he was his most beautiful in his mid-thirties the most true to himself and his persona. He's a beautiful man at any age but there's something about his mid-thirties that I don't know about you but it does it for me!

[@rabit818]

The album is a natural progression for Peter Murphy and Mick Karn, It is challenging listen. I still listen to it.

Knowing these two had the sense to collaborate on music made all feel right in the world. Dali's Car was a great project.

[@captaincomputaa]

I always thought Mick would have a bit of a Greek accent.

[@philwaters9751]

A ha... Besides the joy of listening to this great sound, and the mid 80's style video... I notice one of the locations in Malta is the big old place they used to film the prison exterior courtyard in Midnight Express. Which, although a great movie, was so greasy with negative/anti-Turkish stereotypes as to make my donner kebab seem like Lamb Jerky in comparison. They were such an intersting duo in that post new romantic scene. It almost makes me want to break out the eye shadow again. Super stuff... xxx :-)
