No-Man
StarsDie.com Review – Henry Fool’s Men Singing
1
Tim Bowness, in the role of vocalist and lyricist for progressive duo No-Man, has amassed a lengthy body of work exploring a wide range of tonalities and approaches. From dancehall electronic pop to subtle ambient movements, his twist on and contributions to Steven Wilson’s music have always been unique.
In Henry Fool, however, Bowness takes on a whole other role, nurturing along the King Crimson-esque instrumental compositions with guitar instead of his vocal chords. Specifically, I get major vibes recalling some of the ProjeKct records, as their spacey jams and odd rhythms intermingle in similar ways. On their new release Men Singing, tracks like “Everyone in Sweden” alternate between nearly ambient passages of sax soloing by Myke Clifford and funky outbursts highlighting great interplay between bassist Peter Chilvers and drummer Andrew Booker.

No-Man Live in Krakow, Poland – Setlist, Photos
1No-Man began a short tour in Krakow, Poland last night to promote the band’s new live album ‘Love and Endings‘. The band, comprised of Tim Bowness, Steven Wilson, Michael Bearpark, Steve Bingham, Pete Morgan, Stephen Bennett and Andy Booker took to the stage to perform a 90 minute setlist, which you can see below by using the spoiler tag box. I’ve also added some excellent photos, taken by Grzegorz Furlaga for Muzyka.pl.
No-Man to debut new song on upcoming ‘Love and Endings’ Tour
0No-Man’s lead singer Tim Bowness has confirmed in an interview with Progressive Rock Magazine that the band are ‘hoping to play one new song, which we finished in rehearsals this week’. No-Man have been working on the follow up to 2008′s ‘Schoolyard Ghosts’ for a while now, but no release date has been announced. In order to promote the recently released live album ‘Love and Endings‘ the band are going out and touring the UK and Europe next week. You can buy tickets from No-Man’s official website, here.
“We’ve rehearsed all the material from Love And Endings, plus quite a few more pieces, several of which have never been played lived before. We’ll be performing a full 90-minute show, but have about two hours of material at our disposal. The set list spans the band’s entire existence, from our late 1980s studio experiments through to our recent Kscope label releases.” – Tim Bowness
