Synopsis

Album Description

Deluxe two CD edition of this classic 1996 album from the British duo featuring a bonus CD containing a mini-album, b-sides and rarities and four previously unreleased tracks. No Man is Tim Bowness and Steven Wilson (Porcupine Tree). Wild Opera, their third album, is regarded as the most inventive and unpredictable album in the band's catalog. Rapidly shifting from distorted grooves to sinister, Jazz-inflected Trip Hop and from choked Rock riffs to more traditional ballad fare, Wild Opera represented a thrilling departure for No-Man and has since become seen as a classic one-of-a-kind statement of uncompromising creative intent. Includes all of the Dry Cleaning Ray mini-album, alongside b-sides and exclusive rarities from the era. The media-book packaging features new artwork created by long-time collaborator Carl Glover. K-Scope. 2010.

(5 out of 5 stars)

"No-Man is absolutely fantastic. If you like Steven Wilson and Porcupine Tree, you have to listen to this CD, and buy it. Really worth the money. There's not one track which won't draw you into wanting all their CDs.Tracklist on "Wild Opera" 1. Radiant City*****

13. [Untitled Track]
14. [Untitled Track]***** The ones that I put 5 stars next to are the ones I absolutely love, and most recommend you listen to, if you have the chance.The singer Tim Bowness has a somewhat sexual, very selling voice, which matches Porcupine Tree's "Steven Wilson" on guitars.
What else can I say, but go and buy this CD. Totally worth it.There's a little bit of dance, some good beats, great vocals, guitars, all inspired by Steven Wilson.Hope this review helped."
