about

2008 ALBUM FROM STEVEN WILSON AND TIM BOWNESS. BONUS DISC INCLUDES ALTERNATIVE VERSIONS, DEMOS AND B-SIDES

The second release on the Kscope label, No-Man's sixth official studio album, Schoolyard Ghosts, its first since 2003's atmospheric break-up album, Together We're Stranger, generated some of the best press and sales of the band’s career.

This new edition features rare material including demos and alternative versions of tracks from the album, plus b-sides. The bonus tracks also include an EP’s worth of Tim Bowness’s home studio recordings, which formed the basis of several of the album’s songs.

Recorded between Autumn 2007 and Spring 2008, Schoolyard Ghosts is a distinctive combination of beautifully detailed songwriting, haunting melodies and inventively cinematic production.

The album saw No-Man’s core duo of Tim Bowness and Steven Wilson expanding the band's sonic palette by collaborating with, amongst others Californian pedal steel ace Bruce Kaphan (American Music Club), saxophonist/flautist Theo Travis, drummers Pat Mastelotto and Gavin Harrison, and the London Session Orchestra (arranged by Dave Stewart).

Contains the semi-orchestral 12 minute epic Truenorth, fan favourite Wherever There Is Light and the intense sonic maelstrom of Mixtaped.

It was this tour i first saw them on, talked to Steven and Colin after the show, got my Moonloop C.D signed by them, they seemed really humble and approachable. Glad i saw them in the Delerium years. matt1098
