no-man - all the blue changes (double cd)
All The Blue Changes is the first career-overview compilation in No-Man's history and in addition to tracks from all the band's official albums contains b-sides, unique mixes and rare album outtakes.
Since 1988, over the course of five massively varied albums and several singles/outtakes collections, No-Man has produced a unique body of challenging work that has developed from the band's proto Trip-Hop/Dream Pop origins into something beyond easy categorisation.
After initial ecstatic press plaudits, indie top 20 hits and high profile contracts with One Little Indian and Epic/Sony, the band continued to write and evolve throughout a sometimes difficult 1990s. Recording and re-defining themselves through an ever changing and creatively vital music, No-Man released material via Materiali Sonori, Third Stone and internet label Burning Shed, gradually building up a loyal worldwide cult following that luxuriated in the band's increasingly ambitious sound.
Drawing from a diverse mix of Chamber Jazz, New Classical, Singer-songwriter, Progressive, Dream Pop, Trip Hop and Contemporary Electronica sources for inspiration, No-Man are one of the most intriguing British bands of the last two decades, creating an emotive and ethereal fusion of panoramic soundscapes, cracked ballads and sonic surprises.
Through the years, the band, consisting of Tim Bowness and Steven Wilson (Porcupine Tree), has worked with electro-pioneers Scanner, Muzlimgauze, The Shamen and Faultline, Jazz luminaries Ian Carr and Theo Travis, as well as collaborating with the legendary likes of King Crimson personnel, Robert Fripp and Mel Collins, and ex-Japan members, Jansen, Barbieri and Karn.
Available as a double CD in a Carl Glover designed digi-pack, the booklet features sleeve notes written by Uncut's Chris Roberts.

Great overview of one the most creative sonic wizards. My being energises every time I listen to it. Things Change on Disc one remains a definite classic for me. Musical alchemy has never been so accessable. Hail to the new frontier.

It's a crying shame that this cd is so badly distributed. Places like HMV can't fufil an order for it in three months and Play.com can't even supply it even though they have it listed on their site. Great cd though, now we just await the re-issue of Loveblows and Lovecries with some great extra tracks especially the B-sides of Ocean Song :-)

I bought this CD because I became a Steve Wilson and Porcupine Tree fan after seeing them in concert in Atlanta, GA in 2005. What a great CD, one song better than the next. I like No-Man's mellow sound! A real box of quality chocolates here.

just the best -what amazing music .personally i love the atmospheric songs like "things change " rather than the more "groove" based ones - but as an overview for long term fans its really good to have the rare/remixes and the unreleased items. but for the uninitiated ,this is a good introduction to this most innovative band. just wish there was the same detailed booklet as was in the "Stars Die "boxset. overall -a nice pair (of cd,s i mean !?! ) where,s the new album chaps ?
RICHARD PIEVAITIS
Fantastic! I could not hope for a better compilation. An astounding mix of sad songs, dance nostalgia pieces and ambient snippets. Truely wonderful... in blue. Every No-Man/Wilson fan should own this double set. And every musiclover should lend an ear to this splendid musical panorama.

Daniel
I want a new album, not a "best"!!!
Jethro
Glad to see this finally coming out!! Here's to hoping it includes the same sort of nice long detailed liner notes that the Porcupine Tree Stars Die boxset did!

Having purchased every No-Man release since Colours 12 inch a nice signed postcard for preorder would have been great,evenso,they are still one of the very best bands around today.
