2014, Born and brought up in North West England, Tim Bowness is primarily known as vocalist/co-writer with the band No-Man, a long-running collaboration with Steven Wilson (Porcupine Tree). Distinctively combining Art Rock and singer-songwriter influences, ABANDONED DANCEHALL DREAMS alternates between the low-key and the large-scale, possessing the cinematic scope and sophisticated sheen of No-Man's best work, while taking Bowness's music into unexpected areas, including the propulsive drum and string chug of ,,The Warm-Up Man Forever", the fretless bass, synth and choir combinations on ,,Dancing For You", the Nick Drake-esque ,,Waterfoot", and the grinding Rock codas to ,,Smiler At 50" and ,,I Fought Against The South". The CD edition of DANCEHALL DREAMS comes with a companion disc featuring strikingly beautiful mixes from collaborators old, Richard Barbieri (Japan), and new, highly rated Brighton band Grasscut and underground sensations UXB, as well as outtakes and alternate versions of album material.
