Tim Bowness / Lost In The Ghost Light
Tim Bowness (best known as a member of art-pop duo No-Man) will issue a new album, Lost In The Ghost Light, in February.
The new record is a concept album revolving around the onstage and backstage reflections of a fictional ‘classic’ Rock musician in the twilight of his career. The superb cover art (by Jarrod Gosling) reflects this.
The follow-up to 2015’s Stupid Things That Mean The World has been mixed and mastered by Steven Wilson and features a “core band” of Stephen Bennett, Colin Edwin (Porcupine Tree), Bruce Soord (The Pineapple Thief), Hux Nettermalm (Paatos) and Andrew Booker. On top of that, the new long-player features some fine musicians making guest appearances including guitarist David Rhodes (recently interviewed by SDE) and the legendary Ian Anderson.
Bowness always delivers brilliantly when it comes to physical formats and Lost In The Ghost Light is available as a limited CD+DVD ‘media book’ edition which features hi-res stereo files on the DVD and a 5.1 surround sound mix of not only this new album, but also of the previous release – Stupid Things That Mean The World.
As if that wasn’t enough, those whose choose to pre-order physical copies of the album from Burning Shed get a signed postcard and a link to a special download release of Songs From The Ghost Light which features alternative versions of songs intended for the concept. All that for £12.99 is a steal! (not applicable to Amazon and JPC, etc.).
Additionally, there is a black vinyl gatefold edition, and a very limited, hand-numbered, heavyweight gold vinyl edition in a gatefold sleeve. I’m told the latter are nearly all gone, so be warned. Both vinyl editions come with a CD, incidentally.
Songs From The Ghost Light will be released on 17 February 2017.
