Through his subsequent work with 'Rain Tree Crow', his partnership with Peter Murphy in 'Dalis Car' \u0026amp; an adventurous solo catalogue, Karn continued to explore the possibilities beyond traditional song structures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOriginally released in 2006 on his own MK Music label, 'Three Part Species' is Karn's seventh solo album \u0026amp; a compelling expression of that independent spirit. Drawing together electronica, jazz, hip- hop \u0026amp; art pop, it moves between intricate rhythmic passages \u0026amp; spacious, atmospheric compositions, its shifting moods held together by a quietly assured musical vision.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe delicate piano \u0026amp; ambient textures of 'Floating Home' \u0026amp; 'Chocolate Was A Boy' sit alongside the Middle Eastern inflections of 'Pitta Pop', revealing a composer equally attuned to subtle detail \u0026amp; unexpected turns. Throughout, Karn's instinct for melody gives this exploratory music an inviting, deeply human character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWritten, mixed \u0026amp; produced by Mick Karn, the album also features Becky Collins, who contributes lyrics \u0026amp; vocals to 'All You Have'.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis 10th anniversary 2LP edition presents the album on petrol- coloured vinyl in gatefold packaging, with a fourth side comprising three bonus tracks: the single versions of 'Of \u0026amp; About' \u0026amp; 'All You Have', alongside 'The Edge Of Charm'. An absorbing chapter in the work of a singular musician, 'Three Part Species' rewards the time spent in its company.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"KSCOPE","offers":[{"title":"Petrol Double Vinyl","offer_id":55823571059015,"sku":"TRI-83491","price":50.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0931\/9779\/5655\/files\/Mick_Karn_-_Three_Part_Species_0.png?v=1794414432","url":"https:\/\/towerrecords.ie\/products\/mick-karn-three-part-species-10th-anniversary","provider":"Tower Records Dublin Ireland","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
