Just A Phenomenon

No-Man - Colours [PP 27T UK 1990 24-Bit FLAC]

Welcome to the phenomenon of Donovan...

History will cause many to reflect differently on No-Man, especially given any misplaced idea that they are/were Steven Wilson's art-rock alternative to his more progressive & experimental rock work. Love him or hate him, if you take a more open mind and listen to No-Man as they were originally conceived back in the late eighties/early nineties, an arty trip-hop pop trio with equal shares, you may likely appreciate these early singles more. Tim Bowness has an amazing voice, Wilson is a very skilled multi-instrumentalist and Ben Coleman's violin is sublime. In the early No-Man live shows, the band was expanded to include messrs Jansen, Barbieri and Karn, former members of glam-pop band Japan. There is a huge back catelogue of No-Man to uncover but I will keep clear of them here as it may well attract undue attentions. The excellent Flowermouth cd is a worthwhile place to start for those looking to hear more...
