One of Stephen Wilson's numerous side-projects, No-Man sounds similar to a Stephen Wilson release. Many of Wilson's songs with No-Man also have a lush, romantic quality about them -- none moreso than the gorgeous "Days In The Trees," from the album Lovesights - An Entertainment. Thematically “Schoolyard Ghosts” can be seen as a more optimistic counterpart to Porcupine Tree’s “Fear of a Blank Planet”. Both albums are dealing with youth in some way, but while Porcupine Tree draw a pessimistic, cynical picture, No-Man’s approach is more hopeful. Which doesn’t mean it can’t be amazingly melancholic, sad and sometimes almost bleak.
