Dalis Car

Dalis Car was a brief musical collaboration between Mick Karn, the former bassist and composer for the band Japan, and Peter Murphy, the vocalist for Bauhaus. This project culminated in a single album, The Waking Hour, released in 1984 on Beggars Banquet. The album featured Paul Vincent Lawford on percussion, and the track "The Judgement Is The Mirror" was released as a single.

The Waking Hour faced commercial challenges and was reportedly unsuccessful, exceeding its studio budget by nearly 150%. The difficulties during the recording process were largely attributed to creative friction between Karn and Murphy, leading to a reluctance to work together again. In a late 1990s interview, Karn described the project as "particularly difficult," noting that they were "two very different people."
