No-Man is a British duo formed in 1987 by Tim Bowness and Porcupine Tree’s Steven Wilson.

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).

Originally a sample-based proto-// styled music, No-Man’s sound has become more organic, diverse and band-oriented in subsequent years. The band has been lauded “Conceivably the most important English group since The Smiths” by Melody Maker music newspaper.

The name No-Man was adopted in 1990 and first used on the self-released June 1990 single release, Colours (a cover of the 1960s Donovan song). The single achieved Melody Maker and Sounds (british music paper) “Singles of the Week” accolades and was re-released by Liverpool-based label Probe Plus in October, 1990.

Between 1991 and 1994, No-Man were managed by Talk Talk’s manager Keith Aspden. During this period, the band received highly positive UK music media support (including more “Singles of the Week” in Melody Maker, Sounds and Irish music paper, Hot Press), had 2 indie top 20 hits (Days In The Trees and Ocean Song), a Billboard Top 40 dance hit (the US only single, Taking It Like a Man) and had high profile contracts with One Little Indian, Hit & Run Publishing and Epic/Sony.

Subsequently, mirroring the evolution of artists such as Talk Talk, David Sylvian, Radiohead, Scott Walker and Kate Bush, with each successive release, the band has moved further away from its more conventional Pop/Rock roots.

    Podaję się, że do albumu Storm Corrosion przymiarki trwały prawie dekadę. Czy było to wynikiem trudności związanych z wizją produkcji niniejszego wydawnictwa? Nie sądzę, Mikael Åkerfeldt z Opeth oraz Steven Wilson z Porcupine Tree to przede wszystkim świetni muzycy oraz indywidualiści, których podobne korzenie muzycznych upodobań tchnęły w Storm Corrosion ducha art rockowej esencji. Jak im to wyszło? Sprawdźcie czytając na LMF!! http://lamuzi.blogspot.com/2012/05/recenzje-nowosci-storm-corrosion-storm.html

    Had a conversation with someone yesterday about SW. They asked me what my favourite SW-related project / album was. I said "Well I love most of SW's work but my favourite album he has been involved in is 'Together We're Stranger' and I think overall No-Man are probably my favourite of his projects". Their response was "Sorry, what's No-Man?" (sighs)

    Actually, no-man is my favorite project of Steven. And Tim Bowness is underrated genius. People seem to forget that no-man is a DUO, not only Steven. Without Tim no-man wouldn't even exist.
