Tim Bowness announces 4th solo album 2016-12-01 by Raul Stanciu STAFF | 7 Comments | On February 17, Tim Bowness will release his 4th solo studio album, Lost in the Ghost Light. Mixed and mastered by Steven Wilson, it will be a conceptual record that details the onstage and backstage life of a fictional classic rock in the twilight of his career, addressing several subjects such as "how the era of streaming and ageing audiences affects creativity, how a life devoted to music impacts on real / family life, and how idealistic beginnings can become compromised by complacency and the fear of being replaced by younger, more vital artists."
Tim elaborates: “It all started with me seeing a sixty something jogger in an expensive tracksuit rifling through the vegetable racks at my local Co-Op. His intense glare combined with his thinning long grey hair and Mick Fleetwood beard left me wondering which veteran Rock band he’d once played with. This got me thinking about the moment when music first came into this person’s life and whether it still informed his music making in the present. Other questions followed about the tensions between commerce and art, career and idealism: Could the creative ‘spark’ be lost then re-discovered?; What were the costs of dedicating a life to music and how much did ‘real’ life get in the way of the ‘magic’?; What was the effect of the changing nature of the industry on music itself as physical objects d’art became unpaid streams?; Were, as Brian Eno suggested, professional musicians like blacksmiths, echoes from another age and, if so, what was the impact of that realisation on a performer playing to an ageing crowd? Clearly, I thought too much!”

The concept seems boring tbh, but cool to see Tim keeping himself so busy
| | |
The guy is on fire. Haven't brought my self to listen to his work yet, but I guess I'm finding the time.
| | |
The two albums he put out a couple of years ago are awesome. Hopefully this one will be just as good (regardless of concept).
| | |
Well, this concept gave us two magnifiscent albums, so let's be patient.
| | |

| | |
Steven is the one who doesn't have time for No-Man
| | |
