No Man - Shell Of A Fighter
No-Man are an English art-pop duo formed in 1987 as No Man Is An Island (Except The Isle Of Man) by singer Tim Bowness and multi-instrumentalist Steven Wilson (the latter also of Porcupine Tree). The band has so far produced six studio albums and a number of singles/outtakes collections (most notably, 2006's career retrospective, All The Blue Changes). The band was once lauded as "conceivably the most important English group since The Smiths" by Melody Maker music newspaper.
Originally creating a sample-based proto-trip hop/ambient/electropop-styled music, No-Man has pursued a more organic, diverse and band-oriented sound in subsequent years. Drawing from a diverse mix of singer-songwriter, post rock, minimalist, progressive rock, jazz and contemporary ambient sources for inspiration, No-Man's musical style is distinctive yet difficult to categorise.

Enjoy.

Some Vinyl Sold
May. 21st, 2016 04:09 pmWell, i had not realized it was Faversham Transport Festival weekend and i did not bring a camera. All these old buses. Mind you i did take plenty of pics from the previous year.
I sold the records i took, half which were 12" singles. Filled a hessian shopping bag and i guess it was around thirty items, but they had not sold on Discogs for over a year. i got ten pounds for them, so not a bad day.
Next to sort out are the 45's and some CD's. This i will do tomorrow. It is hard jetting rid of some of them but it has been done now.
