Tim Bowness (born 29 November 1963) is an English singer and songwriter primarily known for his work as part of the band No-Man,〔(No-Man biography )〕 a long-term project formed in 1987 with Porcupine Tree's Steven Wilson. ==Music career== In addition to recording albums with No-Man (for record labels such as One Little Indian, Sony/Epic, Inside Out Music and Kscope), Bowness has appeared on albums by US artists OSI and David Torn, Italian artists Alice and Nosound, Norwegian groups White Willow and The Opium Cartel, and others. In 1994, he recorded an album with Porcupine Tree/Japan/Rain Tree Crow keyboard player Richard Barbieri, called ''Flame''.〔(AllMusic Flame Review )〕 Bowness has been a core or occasional member of several other bands. He has sung for German band Centrozoon and British electro-improvisers Darkroom on the more vocal-orientated projects performed and released by each group. He is the lead singer and guitarist for Henry Fool and also sings for Memories of Machines. He was singer (and occasional second guitarist) for Samuel Smiles between 1992 and 2000. Bowness also has a longstanding duo collaboration with Peter Chilvers (with whom he has worked in Samuel Smiles and Henry Fool). This project has so far produced one album, 2002's ''California, Norfolk''. Bowness's debut solo album, ''My Hotel Year'' was released on One Little Indian in 2004. The album made use of Bowness collaborators both old and new, and featured Roger Eno and Hugh Hopper amongst others. In 2009, Bowness co-wrote and co-produced ''Talking with Strangers'', an album by former Fairport Convention singer, Judy Dyble. ''Warm Winter'', the debut album by Memories of Machines (a collaboration with Nosound's Giancarlo Erra), was issued on Mascot in April 2011, and the self-titled debut release by Anglo Estonian project Slow Electric was released on Panegyric in October 2011. Bowness's second solo album ''Abandoned Dancehall Dreams'' was released on 23 June 2014 on Inside Out Music. Produced by Bowness and mixed by Steven Wilson, collaborators included Pat Mastelotto, Colin Edwin and Classical composer Andrew Keeling. Richard Barbieri and Grasscut provided mixes for the bonus disc. ''Abandoned Dancehall Dreams'' came out to some of the best reviews of Bowness' career. Receiving positive endorsements from Prog and Classic Rock, the album reached No. 18 in the official UK Rock charts and No. 1 in Prog magazine's July 2014 and August 2014 charts. A follow-up to ''Abandoned Dancehall Dreams'', ''Stupid Things That Mean The World'', was released on 17 July 2015 on Inside Out Music. Bowness admitted similarities between the two albums, in both the musical approach and artwork, calling it the second part of a new chapter that began with ''Abandoned Dancehall Dreams''.〔http://timbowness.co.uk/diary/〕 Produced by Bowness and mixed by Bruce Soord, collaborators included Peter Hammill, Colin Edwin, Phil Manzanera and David Rhodes.
