Differing from all previously released versions and dating from March 1994, this free download is the first known demo of Lighthouse, and provides a fascinating insight into the genesis of the popular Returning Jesus track (the song was eventually issued with a vastly expanded arrangement and an altered lyric in 2001).

Please note, due to the loss of the source tapes, the quality of this mp3 is not to the high standard of other No-Man download releases.

Dating from the very earliest years of the band (1988-89), but subject to re-recording and re-mixing in 1999, Speak is regarded by No-Man as being amongst their finest work.

This download (with printable artwork) is of the Snapper/Headphone Dust re-mastered edition and features the 11 minute ambient CD bonus track, The Hidden Art of Man Ray.

Featuring 'Flowermouth'-era contributions from Robert Fripp, 'Lost Songs: Volume One' is a 14 track, 60 minute collection of previously unreleased material dating from 1991-97 - flawed, but no longer ignored.'

The best of No-Man's radio session recordings: includes the celebrated 'Hit The North' session with a live band including Jansen, Barbieri and Karn, material taken from a number of radio sessions recorded between 1992 and 1996 with various different line-ups, several 'unplugged' performances and appearances by Colin Edwin and Chris Maitland (both later of Porcupine Tree).

A collection of the demos written and recorded for Returning Jesus, this download album was originally issued as the third disc of Tonefloat's lavish Returning Jesus - The Complete Sessions vinyl release in 2005.These alternate, and often very different, versions of Returning Jesus songs date from between 1994 and 1998 and comprise the creative groundwork of what was to become No-Man's most popular and critically acclaimed album.

Comprising the drum mix of 'The Break-Up For Real', 'Back When You Were Beautiful' and '(bluecoda)', Snapper Music's promotional ep to support the release of the new CD/DVD-A edition of No-Man's acclaimed 'Together We're Stranger' album is now available from the Burning Shed download store at a
specially reduced price. Containing newly commissioned downloadable artwork by Carl Glover.

Taken from the unexpected impromptu no-man reunion performance at The Garage in Norwich England on 16th June 2006, Things I Want To Tell You was the spontaneously selected encore. Featuring a piano-led approach radically different from the Together We're Stranger original, this intimate and heartfelt rendition of the song marked a stirring live return for a band that hadn't played together on stage since 1994.
