InGladAloneness is an EP by Dalis Car, a collaboration between Peter Murphy of Bauhaus and Mick Karn of Japan.

Contents

Background

In August 2010, Murphy announced on Twitter that he and Karn were planning to head into the studio in September to begin work on the second Dalis Car album. The project was cut short, however, as Karn had recently been diagnosed with cancer. He died on 4 January 2011. [2] The recordings feature Karn's Japan bandmate Steve Jansen on drums and original Dalis Car drummer Paul Lawford on congas.

Release

The track "Artemis Rise" was first made available as a download through the Burning Shed MK Music store on 24 July 2011, to commemorate what would have been Karn's 53rd birthday. [3] The song is an updated version of the song "Artemis" from their 1984 album The Waking Hour , with added vocals by Murphy, drums by Jansen and guitar by Jakszyk. [4]

"Artemis Rise", along with four other tracks, were released as the InGladAloneness EP on 5 April 2012. [4] The tracks were mixed by Jansen, mastered by Pieter Snapper in Istanbul and the artwork for the EP was created by Thomas Bak with a painting by Jarosław Kukowski. The Japanese version of the EP contains a memorial photo booklet with photos of Karn by Steve Jansen, along with comments from artists who had collaborated with him.

The first 250 copies were signed by Jansen. [5]

<i>Atlanta</i> (Porcupine Tree album) 2010 live album by Porcupine Tree

Atlanta is a download only double-live album by British progressive rock band Porcupine Tree recorded at the Roxy Theatre, Atlanta, United States on 29 October 2007. The show recording was initially intended for a prospective Porcupine Tree live album, but this decision was later turned down as development of the Anesthetize DVD project began. In the wake of the news regarding Mick Karn's advanced-stage cancer, the band decided to put it out as a downloadable item from the Burning Shed online store at a very cheap cost, as a .RAR file split in two parts, all in MP3 format at 320 kbit/s with completely printable artwork designed by Carl Glover. The profits from the Atlanta downloads are intended to help Mick pay for his treatment. A 44.1 kHz/24-bit FLAC version was released in August 2010; profits from this version go to the Teenage Cancer Trust. Since the album's artwork and mix is set up for two CDs it is widely considered to be a double album. The album has a somewhat similar track listing to the Anesthetize DVD but includes the first official live recording of the track "A Smart Kid" and some of the songs that were performed at the shows for the Anesthetize shoot, but left out as they were already available on previous live releases.
