What gives this a Crim spin is that this album features some guest appearances from Pat Mastelotto and Gavin Harrison amongst many others, in fact, here’s a snippet of the writeup:

A distinctive combination of beautifully detailed songwriting, haunting melodies and inventively cinematic production, ‘Schoolyard Ghosts’ sees Tim and Steven expanding the band’s sonic palette yet again by collaborating with (amongst others) Californian pedal steel guitar ace Bruce Kaphan (American Music Club, Red House Painters), drummers Pat Mastelotto(King Crimson, Mastica) and Gavin Harrison (Porcupine Tree, King Crimson), saxophonist/flautist Theo Travis, and the London Session Orchestra arranged by Dave Stewart(Hatfield & The North, Egg, Stewart & Gaskin etc).

 A new no-man album by itself it’s pretty exciting, but add in these other elements, and you’ve certainly piqued my interest!  Further details are available at no-man’s site linked above or check out the album’s minisite HERE and be sure to check out the haunting video!

The release is intended as a companion piece for the Centrozoon album, ‘never trust the way you are’.

The album has the following personnel:

tim bowness – vocals, vocal loops
bernhard wöstheinrich – synthesizers, sequencing, drum programming
markus reuter – touch guitar, programming
pat mastelotto – traps & buttons
bill munyon – sample mangling & treatments
gum b – upright bass (on b2)
incidental voices by ian boddy, lee fletcher, philipp quaet-faslem, noelle mastelotto and centrozoon
