Brooding, sitting in your bedroom wondering “What the…” about life and the universe, that’s the sort of mood captured well by post-progressive pop-rockers No-Man in their new, sixth release Schoolyard Ghosts (K-Scope). The band is Tim Bowness and Steven Wilson and a host of well chosen side-musicians.
This is another CD that does not project a “Gee, I’m so happy” vibe. It is memorable, though, poetic, haunting in its way. The package consists of a conventional stereo mix and a DVD with a 5:1 mix and some videos. It fits a mood. It has a definite sound that’s long and lingering on the mental palate, like the cerebral-emotional equivalent of a good red wine.
