.: Tracklist :.
No-Man is a British art-pop duo formed in 1987 as No Man Is An Island (Except The Isle Of Man) by singer Tim Bowness and multi-instrumentalist Steven Wilson (the latter also of Porcupine Tree). The band has so far produced six studio albums and a number of singles/outtakes collections (most notably, 2006's career retrospective, All The Blue Changes). The band was once lauded as "conceivably the most important English group since The Smiths" by Melody Maker music newspaper.
Originally creating a sample-based proto-trip hop/ambient/electro-pop-styled music, No-Man has pursued a more organic, diverse and band-oriented sound in subsequent years. Drawing from a diverse mix of singer-songwriter, post rock, minimalist, progressive rock, jazz and contemporary ambient sources for inspiration, No-Man's musical style is distinctive yet difficult to categorise.
Amongst the many guest musicians the band has employed are:
* electronic artists Roger Eno, Faultline, Scanner, Muslimgauze and The Shamen
* jazz musicians Ian Carr and Theo Travis
* King Crimson personnel Robert Fripp, Pat Mastelotto, Gavin Harrison (also a member of Porcupine Tree), and Mel Collins
* ex-Japan members Steve Jansen, Richard Barbieri (also a member of Porcupine Tree) and Mick Karn
* US pedal steel legend, Bruce Kaphan (ex-American Music Club).
* Porcupine Tree bassist Colin Edwin.
Spherical, laid-back avantgarde art pop with infatuating lyrics by Steven Wilson (Porcupine Tree, Blackfield) together with vocalist Tim Bowness. No drums, hardly any percussion – an album for headphones, to lean back to and immerge into the magical world of No-Man.
