InGladAloneness is an EP by Dalis Car, a collaboration between Peter Murphy of Bauhaus and Mick Karn of Japan.
Development
In 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 Dalis Car album.[1] The project was cut short, however, as Karn had recently been diagnosed with cancer. He died on 4 January 2011.[2] Five of the tracks they did record shipped on April 5, 2012. as an EP entitled InGladAloneness.[3] The tracks were mixed by Steve 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 Mick by Steve Jansen along with comments from fellow artists who have collaborated with Mick. The EP features Karn’s Japan bandmate Steve Jansen on drums and original Dalis Car drummer Paul Lawford on congas.
Release
The track "Artemis Rise" was made available as a download through the Burning Shed MK Music store on Sunday July 24, 2011, to commemorate what would have been Karn’s 53rd birthday. The song is an updated version of the song "Artemis" as it appeared on The Waking Hour, with added vocals by Murphy, drums by Jansen and guitar by Jakszyk. The first 250 copies were signed by Steve Jansen. [4]
