Intense, sometimes eerie & ethereal, this is equal parts dynamic drums, spiky guitars & atmospheric washes of fluttering flutes & vintage keyboards!
Produced and arranged by band founders Stephen Bennett (keyboards) and Steven Wilson’s creative partner in NO-MAN: Tim Bowness (guitars), the album has been mixed by Jarrod Gosling (I MONSTER / REGAL WORM), who also contributes Mellotron, glockenspiel and the wonderfully surreal artwork.
Appearing on ‘Everyone In Sweden’ and ‘Man Singing’, ROXY MUSIC's Phil Manzanera adds his legendary guitar skills and can be heard in the context of long-form instrumental music for the first time since his celebrated stint in 1970’s mavericks QUIET SUN.
Other contributions come from Brian Eno, collaborator and SLOW ELECTRIC member Peter Chilvers (bass), Michael Bearpark (lead guitars), Andrew Booker (drums), Myke Clifford (sax/flute) and classical violinist Steve Bingham, all of whom have worked live with NO-MAN, or as part of London underground club, Improvizone.
The album has been Mastered by award-winning PINK FLOYD sound engineer: Andy Jackson.
Here are some early media quotes:
“A nice blend that takes inspiration from the rich symphonic source of the late 60s-early 70’s with references to GENESIS, PINK FLOYD and SOFT MACHINE and group improvisations a la KING CRIMSON” - IO Pages.
“Damn good. Modern, but with traditional touches.” - Ultimate Mellotron Recordings List.
“The music stretches from Porcupine Tree-like soft dreamy Prog all the way to sharp edged King Crimson noise. Highly Recommended.” - Missing Piece.
“The combination of classic Prog and more contemporary experimental ingredients make for varied and enjoyable listening.” – Background.
“A perfect album for these dark evenings and Highly recommended." - New Horizons.
“Remarkably original and fresh.” - Progress Magazine.
‘Men Singing’ is released on 11th March 2013.
