Free Music Notes for Schoolyard Ghosts
Free Music Review: Delicate and Exquisite Soundscapes
Hit: 5 Stars
Though I have been a fan of No-Man for several years now, it wasn't until recently that I began to appreciate their music in a big way. So just as soon as I read of the impending release of Schoolyard Ghosts, I ordered directly from Burning Shed and received it about a month in advance of today's official release date. And since I've had it that long, I have had ample time to fully enjoy the delicate and exquisite soundscapes here woven by Steven Wilson and Tim Bowness.
Schoolyard Ghosts is really a tremendous piece of work. I like the whole set, but there are a few cuts to which I am partial. My favorites on the CD are: the shimmering Beautiful Songs You Should Know; the spacy Pigeon Drummer which is punctuated by furious bursts of percussion that culminate in a masterful ending; True North, an epic musical journey in which the listener figuratively floats above the music; the relaxing Song of the Surf; and Mixtaped, a mixture of soft jazz with an undercurrent of searing blues.
With the DVDA, you may find that you have to change your audio settings in order for it to play. I did. But despite that, the sound quality remained quite superb. On the DVDA, spectral and fog shrouded images accompany the songs. This reminds me of the static images which accompany the DVDA on Porcupine Tree's remastered Lightbulb Sun and on the special edition of PT's In Absentia. There are also some extra bonus videos which feature three of the songs from Schoolyard Ghosts in both stereo and surround sound.
If you've enjoyed other works from No-Man, you are bound to enjoy this one as well. This set from Snapper Music comes housed in a stylish and durable folding case that will make you wonder why all CDs can't be as well-presented. The wings on the case feature the lyrics. Get Schoolyard Ghosts while it is still available and still reasonably priced.
