From September 1989 to April 1992 Kasim worked with Daryl Hall and John Oates. As well as playing bass for them on the track Philadelphia Freedom on the compilation album Two Rooms: Celebrating The Songs Of Elton John And Bernie Taupin, Kasim toured extensively with them on their Change of Seasons World Tour. The line-up on that tour was Kasim Sulton (bass), T-Bone Wolk (guitar), John Oates (vocals, guitar), Daryl Hall (vocals, guitar, piano), Mike Braun (drums), Charlie DeChant (sax) and Bobby Mayo (keyboards).
Kasim played upright bass for some of the tour. "It's not something I've played before but I found it quite easy to pick up. I took a couple of lessons off my youngest brother (who's a classical trained bassist) and he showed me a few tricks." Unfortunately for his fans, Kasim did not sing much on the tour. "Daryl and John said that they didn't want me to sing as my voice was too distinguishable which I thought was a bit of a left handed compliment!"

These concerts were recorded and later released as the Redux CD and video. In 1993 Kasim released his second solo album entitled The Bassment Tapes (spelt that way as a play on the word “bass”). It was a collection of songs that were written or co-written by him that were enthusiastically received by his fans. On several of the tracks he played the majority of the instruments, although some were recorded by his solo band from the 1980s. In 1993 Kasim linked up with Meat Loaf again……
