No-Man - Housekeeping

AVAILABLE FOR IN-STORE COLLECTION ONLY

No-Man - Housekeeping

 ‘Housekeeping’ is a comprehensive remastered collection of No-Man’soutput for the OLI label between 1990-1994.

 Somewhere (somehow) between the feverish grooves of Madchester and theanthemic charge of the Britpop brigade, musically eclectic mavericks NoMan made a small mark on the early 1990s UK Independent music scene.

 The band released two albums and series of singles on the influential OLIlabel (Björk, The Shamen etc.) which generated rave reviews (Singles OfThe Week in Melody Maker, Sounds and Hot Press) and radio / TV playaplenty (BBC Radio One sessions / playlist, appearances on MTV, ChannelFour and ITV1).

 ‘Housekeeping’ features the band’s first two albums ‘Loveblows & Lovecries’(1993) and ‘Flowermouth’ (1994), along with the singles compilation‘Lovesighs’ (1992). The deluxe 5CD box set also contains outtakes, alternateversions and the band’s sessions for BBC Radio from the period (whichreveal a very different, more visceral side to the band).

 Formed by Tim Bowness and Steven Wilson, the band also included violinistBen Coleman, and the albums featured notable appearances by Mick Karnand Steve Jansen (Japan), Robert Fripp, Ian Carr, Lisa Gerard (Dead CanDance), and soon-to-be Porcupine Tree members Richard Barbieri, ChrisMaitland and Colin Edwin.

 Containing driving electronic pop music, epic ambient rock suites andemotive groove-enhanced ballads, ‘Housekeeping’ is a lovingly compiledtribute to the creative anomaly that is (and was) No-Man. Designed by CarlGlover, the hardback book includes essays by Matt Hammers (author of NoMan blog, All The Blue Changes), Tim Bowness and Steven Wilson,alongside rare photos and memorabilia
