Might be surprised to know it's a violin solo played by Ben Coleman.

6:11-6:17 is unmistakably a violin. No doubt in my mind that the whole solo is an electric violin run through various guitar effects. There are so many attack points that don't have the picking sound of a guitar, and sound much closer to the bow of a violin.
Plus, watch the live version at Savoy Theater right in the related videos.
Ben Coleman was a very original and experimental violinist.

Schoolyard Ghosts is probably the most boring stuff I wllingly sit down and listen to.
Flowermouth on the other hand is pretty exciting.

@charlesskiporr PT. like that,. i like this way better,,.

@charlesskiporr With greatest respect, have to disagree - Steve has always appeared to be integral to No-Man. Much respect given his primary work with Porcupine Tree, and his excellent recent remixes of King Crimson archive work. Simply admire his, and Tim's, versatility. Enjoy the good!!

@charlesskiporr He seems very much involved in No-Man's Compositions to me.

η θαυματουργή συνταγή όταν ο robert fripp συναντά τους Ian Carr, Steve Wilson των Porcupine tree, Steve Jansen και Richard Barbieri των Japan. Μία από τις πιο μαγικές συνεργασίες σε μία από τις πιο μυστικιστικές τους στιγμές. ΄Ενα αριστούργημα της prog-rock κουλτούρας.

I don't like the first half of this song, but the solo is mindblowing. One of SWs best!

Brilliant from a Japan fan. I saw No Man when they where accompanied by Jansen ,Karn and Barberie in 1992/3. Brilliant brought it all back

It is Ben playing this solo on electric violin, you can count on that! He also played it at the concert in London in 2008, which was released on the Mixtaped DVD. He also plays the crazy solo at the end of Porcupine Tree's "What Happens Now?".
I really think this is a guitar solo.
As far as I'm concerned, I think Wilson is a real genius for working his sound.
You can hear those kind of effects on "Where We Would Be" by PorcupineTree.

So heart-wrenching...
I'm not sure if this song's supposed to be exclusively about a romantic relationship, but it reminds me of all of my friends moving away back when I was in middle school, and I felt so alone...
No-man just make the most lovely music, don't they?

Steve Wilson was all over this sound, but unfortunately, not much else the band produced. Do yourself a favor and listen to Wilson's primary gig, Porcupine Tree.
