No-Man

Progressive rock
Progressive rockSynth-pop

No-Man is a Progressive rock and Synth-pop act. Their sound grew out of Porcupine Tree, The Sky Moves Sideways, The Smiths, Talk Talk and David Sylvian. Those roots explain a lot about how No-Man arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Bass Communion, Lunatic Soul, The Flower Kings, Fish and Camel, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Up Dharma Down, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 14 connections around No-Man, reaching back through Porcupine Tree and forward to Up Dharma Down.
