CD Description
"Flowermouth" is the 2nd full-length studio album by UK experimental pop act No- Man. No-Man is a duo consisting of lead vocalist Tim Bowness and Porcupine Tree frontman Steven Wilson. The music on the album is a kind of ambient experimental pop music. The atmosphere is warm and melancholic. All 9 tracks are quality compositions even when the band flirts with dance music.

This album is another superb example of the beautiful sonic paintings that this band create. Just read Dan's (b4 me) reviews on the other albums as well as this one (he puts it across better than I ever can). This is sublime stuff, if you aren't moved by this band then your heart is an anchor. This band stun me and it's not generally my genre of music, which usually hangs around Aerosmith/Journey/Type o Negative area, but if it can appeal to a rocker like me then it can be appreciated by anyone. Buy this then grab earlier stuff, and look out for the new album Lighthouse due soon which I am sure these good people at Amazon will be stocking! Go on indulge yourself you deserve it!

The great lost art-pop classic of the '90s: buy it today and join the cult. So what's in it for you? Nine songs of love, doubt, surrender, amnesia and burnout in a luminous package of glimmering synths and skywheeling guitars. '90s dance-pop meeting '70s art-rock balladry in a high, clear place and going somewhere familiar but still somehow new. Pining violins, warm woodwind, and a seductively pleading vocal. Steve Jansen, Robert Fripp, Mel Collins, Richard Barbieri, Lisa Gerrard, Chris Maitland as eager, simmering ingredients in the stew. The chance to think "after-hours Associates", to think "Blue Nile meets Steve Reich"; to think "King Crimson jacuzzi-ing it with Chic" or wonder "why doesn't David Sylvian write these kind of songs anymore?"... and then the opportunity to stop thinking and just lux-u-riate. This record feels like love leaving a shadow on the wall as it passes. What are you waiting for?

Flowermouth represents No-Man best achievement of their initial music career. The attempt to propose an experimental art-pop, under the influence of David Sylvian and Nick Drake, culminated in the creation of this sublime work. Tim Bowness voice is at his best and polyvalent musician Steve Wilson (not yet fully involved in the Porcupine Tree project) contributes to the musical vision that appoint this album as the most complete of their entire career. Genial contribution from Robert Fripp gives to the listener the sensation of crossing the long-waited bridge amongst the 70s experimental rock, the 80s electronic pop and the 90s technology. This leads to the realisation of the unique idea of music as progression and continuum, that very few groups have achieved up to now.
