No-Man – Mixtaped (double dvd preorder)
Mixtaped:
The first ever DVD release from No-Man.
Comprising the band’s sell-out performance at London’s Bush Hall in 2008, a comprehensive career-spanning documentary, Returning, and numerous extras (including newly commissioned and archive video footage), Mixtaped provides a fascinating insight into the inner workings of the band.
Returning:
Directed by award winning journalist Richard Smith, Returning is the story of No-Man.
At the start of their career, No-Man were described as ‘conceivably the most important band since The Smiths’ (Melody Maker). Almost 20 years later, Uncut claimed the band as ‘Britain’s most underrated sorrowful sonic architects’.
Returning reveals for the first time the No-Man’s full history from their roots in a teenager’s bedroom to an unsuccessful career in mainstream Pop; from near obscurity to increasing cult success.
Returning is the story of two musicians who’ve stuck to their belief in the transformative power of popular music, and the music industry’s sometimes tense relationships with art, commerce and its audience.
Comes with an audio CD of highlights from the Bush Hall performance exclusive to Burning Shed.

just a reminder to everyone(and i don,t work for burning shed either !!!!)the version on pre -order via burning shed is the ONLY version to offer the extra bonus cd with a selection of live tracks from the show.i have spoken to pete morgan (director of burning shed) and he told me that there are only a certain number of these “enhanced” versions being made,the exact number he didn,t confim but i would not expect it to be vast,in view of the cult status of this amazing band.
so ,as pete told me,get your pre order in fast if you want to be assured of this 2 x dvd 1 x cd version.
but,once the special 3 disc version has sold out, you will still be able to buy it as the normal ” retail” version i.e. 2x dvd from both burning shed and other retail outlets.
so if, like me,you like to collect the special editions then act quick.
yours,
richard
