   About no-man
Over the course of five massively varied albums, No-Man has produced a unique body of work that has developed from the band's proto Trip-Hop/Ambient origins into something beyond easy categorisation.

After receiving ecstatic press reviews, indie top 20 hits and high profile contracts in the early 1990s (with One Little Indian, Hit & Run/EMI Publishing and Epic/Sony), the band has continued to evolve throughout its intriguing career.

Redefining itself with a constantly changing musical palette, No-Man has subsequently released material through Snapper Music/K-Scope and its own online shop (via www.burningshed.com), building up a loyal worldwide cult following drawn to the band's increasingly ambitious sound.

The band, consisting of Tim Bowness and Steven Wilson (Porcupine Tree), has worked with electro-pioneers Scanner and Muzlimgauze, Jazz luminaries Ian Carr and Theo Travis, as well as collaborating with the legendary likes of King Crimson personnel, Robert Fripp and Mel Collins, Roger Eno, and ex-Japan members, Jansen, Barbieri and Karn.

Drawing from a diverse mix of Minimalist, Singer-songwriter, Pop, Art Rock and Contemporary Electronica sources for inspiration, No-Man's music is an emotive and potent fusion of panoramic soundscapes, sensuous songs and sonic surprises.

On May 12th (Europe) and June 10th (North America), 2008, the band release their first album for half a decade, Schoolyard Ghosts. The band's first full concert in 15 years will take place at The Bush Hall, London on August 29th, 2008.

Hi band and fellow fans alike.. New album is lovely, I've reviewed it - trying to find a home for it as we speak. London gig is nicely timed for my b'day. And for those that may not know there's a good showing for both Tim (interview) and PT in this months Record Collector, maybe they'll like my review.
With best wishes, K

I am writing on behalf of our community Porcupine Tree Italian forum and I ask if you can find the space to include our welcoming country Italy, in your next tour in Europe. We need you!

Thanks for the emotions that presents us and the availability that we always demonstrated.

See you soon!
