Info zu Love You To Bits

Neues Album des Langzeitprojektes von Porcupine Tree-Mastermind Steven Wilson und Tim Bowness. Beide begannen Mitte der 90er als Duo mit einer vorliebe für anspruchsvollen, elektronischen Pop. Einer Vorgabe der sie auch 11 Jahre nach der letzten Veröffentlichung vollauf gerecht werden: 2 plattenseitenlange Songsuiten mit einer Vorliebe für die 80er. Drängende Sequencer, mechanische Drumbeats, jazzrockige Gitarren, flächige Keyboards und die charismatische Vocaldarbietung von Bowness ergeben eine überraschende und progressive Klangreise, in der auch späte Talk Talk-Instrumentierung wie Mellotron, Streicher und Trompeten eingesetzt werden und dem auch Ambient, Soundscapes und Artrock eine tiefgehende Ästhetik verpassen. Kein Modern Progwerk, sondern bester anspruchsvoller Artpop als Reminiszenz zu David Sylvian.*

"Da geht es von flirrendem (Disco-)Pop über pulsierende, elektronische Klänge bis zu Ambient-Soundflächen, immer wieder unternehmen die beiden auch jazzige Ausflüge in Richtung Fusion. Musikalische Unterstützung erhielten sie dabei von Adam Holzman (keys), Ash Soan (dr), Pete Morgan (b) und dem Dave Desmond Brass Quintet." (Good Times)

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

No-Man are Tim Bowness and Steven Wilson. Comprising the band’s sell-out performance at London’s Bush Hall in 2008, a comprehensive career-spanning documentary, and numerous extras (including newly commissioned and archive video footage), Mixtaped provides a fascinating insight into one of British music’s most unusual cult heroes.

Formed in 1987 by Tim Bowness and Steven Wilson, 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 and Epic/ Sony), the band has continued to evolve throughout its subsequent career.

Redefining itself with a constantly changing musical palette, No-Man has most recently released material through celebrated post- progressive label Kscope, and built up a loyal worldwide following drawn to the band’s increasingly ambitious and personal sound.

Over the course of six 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 and Epic/Sony), the band has continued to evolve throughout its subsequent career.

Redefining itself with its constantly changing musical palette, No-Man has released material through celebrated post-progressive label Kscope and its own online shop (via www.burningshed.com), building up a loyal worldwide cult following drawn to the band's increasingly ambitious and personal 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 Roger Eno, King Crimson personnel, Robert Fripp, Pat Mastelotto and Mel Collins, 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.
