I like some of the No-Man stuff a lot, but I rarely listen to it simply because there is only so much time per week for me to listen to tunes and SW has too much other stuff that is better for when I want my fix.

I once tried to get into No-Man, and realized about a month later that I had bought a bunch of albums by Nosound. Still need to take an actual crack at No-Man someday.  :lol

No-Man are awesome. Flowermouth and Returning Jesus are great albums.

This is off topic but does anyone listen to No-Man, how are they and how do they compare with SW/PT?

Has anyone seen or bought the No-Man Mixtaped documentary DVD?

Mixtaped is great, but not a great intro to the band. try Together We're Stranger, especially if you're familiar with Bass Communion.

or, if you'd rather do the compilation route, All the Blue Changes is an excellently well made one.

He thanks Gavin in the liner notes. Maybe I missed something in the song credits, but I wonder he did to be thanked in the liner notes.

Regret #9, oh my god...

I love Home Invasion.

This is a great concept album, musically and lyrically.

RE: No-Man - Apart from SW's solo career and PT, I find that I enjoy No-Man the most after those two aforementioned discographies. From Flowermouth onward, there's some great music on each album, although I'm partial to Together We're Stranger and Schoolyard Ghosts, which came out about 7 years ago (which is REALLY hard to believe). It's sad that with SW's solo career, there will likely never be another No-Man album any time soon, although Tim Bowness released a great album last year.

I'm not sure why, but the music of No-Man just hits me harder than other things like IEM or Bass Communion, which just aren't for me. I get why some might like them and what their appeal might be to certain music lovers, but the ambient, drone stuff just doesn't do it for me. I like great SONGS with good lyrics, hooks, drum beats and grooves, and most of the stuff that SW does in those groups just doesn't have it, so after PT, Blackfield, No-Man and SW's solo career, I just sort of stopped with SW's other projects, but to be honest, between those four discographies alone, there's still SO MUCH GOOD MUSIC that I don't feel like I'm missing out on anything huge in regards to SW's output.

No-Man is awesome. Schoolyard Ghosts is a true gem, and I would rate it among his top6 albums or something.

It's been two weeks today since mine was posted and I still don't have it (and I'm not on the other side of the Atlantic but a four hour boat ride from the UK) :-(.

I wrote to BS yesterday and they are still assuring me that as long as my address was correct (which of course it was) that I should get it.

Like someone else mentioned I really wish they had included a download code for pre orders (redeemable on release day). It REALLY sucks that I can't even listen to the album and participate in the discussion going on here (doing my best to avoid story details) without buying it again or pirating it (I don't want to do either).

On a side note pictures are up on SWs site from production rehearsals... Can't wait to see him in April!!!

Agreed. I will probably be avoiding the setlists, though of course I know it'll be a lot of new stuff. Can't fucking wait, and it's three more months!

That would be neat, but without Ninet and Theo? I guess it's still doable.

I'd also like to not get the setlist spoiled but I know I'm not strong enough  :lol

Is Theo not touring with him this time?  I hadn't heard that confirmed anywhere.  Only thing I heard about the tour is that he got replacements for Marco and Guthrie for the Americas/Canada tour.  I get that most of the new album doesn't have him on it, but there is plenty of material from older records where I don't see how they do it without a wind player.

I'm not a hundred percent certain, but I recall Steven mentioning it, plus I haven't seen him on Lasse Hoiles pictures of them rehearsing.

I remember Steven mentioning that Theo wasn't needed as much in the recording of the album... hence the reason he is listed as an extra musician or something in the notes.

Little bit of a PSA a moment.

This is the Steven Wilson thread. People are going to talk about the Steven Wilson tour. If people choose to try and keep any big spoilers hidden that's up to them and fine. But the onus is on people who don't want it spoiled not to visit the thread until their show if they truly want to be spoiler free. Please do not come in here, have something spoiled, and complain about it. Avoid the thread till your show.

And now back to your regularly scheduled program.

That's right, Nick. If I was afraid of having the setlist spoiled I would stay as far away from the thread as possible.

With that being said, since it's really not an inconvenience for me, I'm going to use the tiny text anyways.

y'know, i think the reason i enjoy No-Man so much is that it's like looking at SW's work through a whole other perspective. the way he's reworked PT and BC stuff into No-Man songs is just a really awesome take on some of his best work – "Mute" vs. "Days in the Trees," "Something Falls" vs. "Spiral Circus," "Wake as Gun" vs. "Jack the Sax," "Drugged" vs. "Together We're Stranger"; it's all the other side of a prolific musician.

everyone at least needs to hear "Truenorth." it's all of No-Man encapsulated in 13 minutes. if you don't like it, you won't like the band.
