''Shadow Man'' is an album by American composer and saxophonist Tim Berne's band Snakoil released on the ECM label.〔(ECM Catalogue ) accessed December 13, 2013〕 ==Reception== The Allmusic review by Thom Jurek awarded the album 4 stars and stated "''Shadow Mans experiment, in trying to capture Snakeoil's live performance in detail and dynamic, is not only successful, it reveals this band at a peak of instinctive, intuitive creativity and imagination".〔Jurek, T. (Allmusic Review ) accessed December 13, 2013〕 Writing in The Guardian, John Fordham commented "mingling wide-interval melodies that sometimes sound like contemporary classical music and sometimes trampling funk, quiet solos or intimate duets, tonal contrasts (warm clarinet lyricism, glimmering vibraphones, free-jazz sax wailing), dynamic percussion and unrelenting eventfulness. It's edgy, pattern spinning contemporary music, but austere it certainly is not".〔Fordham, J. (The Guardian Review ), October 4, 2013〕 The All About Jazz review by John Kelman said that "Shadow Man is an even more impressive outing from a quartet that, in a career highlighted by strong associations, may well be Berne's most impressively cohesive group yet" while Troy Collins stated "Emboldened by the sterling contributions of Berne's youthful sidemen, ''Shadow Man'' surpasses the refined austerity of Snakeoil's debut, providing a far more archetypal example of the protean ensemble's abilities".〔Kelman, J. (''Shadow Man'' Review ) ''All About Jazz'', October 9, 2013〕〔Collins, T. (''Shadow Man'' Review ) ''All About Jazz'', October 16, 2013〕 The ''JazzTimes'' review by Thomas Conrad enthused "This band’s eponymous ECM debut last year was one of the most acclaimed jazz recordings of 2012. ''Shadow Man'' is stronger. It is wilder and deeper, an oceanic extravagance of strange sonic shapes and colors. Yet it coheres according to proprietary logic".〔Conrad, T.
