NO-MAN - Returning Jesus (2CD)

THE 2001 FOURTH ALBUM FROM THE STEVEN WILSON & TIM BOWNESS DUO ON 2CD FOR THE FIRST TIME ON KSCOPE

Originally released on the 3rd Stone label in February 2001, 'Returning Jesus' is a collection of ambitious songs which combine Singer-Songwriter, Chamber Jazz, Progressive and Ambient influences with the band's unique widescreen production and seductively melancholy compositions. Released two months following Steven Wilson's 2017 solo album To The Bone, which reached #3 in the UK charts, #2 in DE, #1 in FI, #4 in NL and CH, #7 in AT, #12 in BE, #14 in IT and #15 in NO, and following Tim Bowness' 2017 album 'Lost in the Ghost Light', which reached #5 in the UK Rock charts and #8 in the UK Progressive charts.

Guest musicians include Steve Jansen (Japan/Rain Tree Crow) on drums, Colin Edwin (Porcupine Tree) on bass and double bass, Theo Travis (Soft Machine) on saxophone and flute, and Ian Dixon on trumpet. The late trumpeter Ian Carr (Nucleus), David Kosten (Faultline, Bat For Lashes) and Ben Christophers contribute to the evocative opening piece "Only Rain".

This double CD edition - featuring a 2017 remaster from Steven Wilson and sleeve notes by Tim Bowness - contains the original album, plus a bonus CD of b-sides, demos and alternate versions. It is presented in a digipack packaging complete with a 12-page booklet with additional artwork and photographs from regular No-Man collaborator Carl Glover.
