No Man

Objective of Burma dissolved in 1983, thanks in large component to guitarist Roger Miller’s hearing complications, directly due to the astonishingly loud band’s quantity. Miller (alongside bandmate Martin Swope) became a member of Erik Lindgren’s experimental chamber music task Birdsongs from the Mesozoic instantly, and concurrently pursued a far more rock-oriented path along with his one-man live task Maximum Electric powered Piano. No Guy is basically a combined mix of the two strategies, mixing up the avant-garde principles of Birdsongs using the muscular oomph of Miller’s rock and roll & roll advantage. The first aspect of 1986’s No Man Is certainly Hurting Me includes Miller’s Maximum Electric powered Piano improvisations, a combined mix of Robert Fripp’s Frippertronics and John Cage’s ready piano, with another aspect of quirky tests such as a cover from the same-named folk-pop singer’s “Ruler of the street” that Miller have been threatening to accomplish since his Objective of Burma times. (Discographical be aware: the musician credit on No Guy Is Harming Me is in fact Roger Miller; besides No Guy, the task was also called No Guy Is definitely Roger Miller and, on 1 / 2 of 1989’s Harm the Foe, No Man’s Music group; Miller also released unrelated single albums of a far more experimental nature through the No Guy period.) 1988’s Get! Instantly! is even more song-oriented, including a fresh version of Objective of Burma’s “THIS ISN’T an image.” For 1 / 2 of 1989’s Harm the Foe, Miller retains bassist Russ Smith, who experienced appeared on Get! Instantly!, and provides drummer Ken Winokur (who later on draft Miller in to the Alloy Orchestra) for some fractured instrumental improvisations; the additional part continues the greater standard art-rock concentrate of its forerunner. 1990’s Whamon Express is definitely more simple still, probably the most standard rock and roll & roll recording of Miller’s profession. 1991’s The way the Western Was Won earnings a bit more experimentation towards the audio, to good impact. After that recording, Roger Miller created M-3 along with his brothers Laurence Miller and Benjamin Miller (who experienced both played within the seminal Michigan punk music group Destroy All Monsters within the middle-’70s), with whom he previously last documented in senior high school in the past due ’60s as Sproton Level. Between that task and new passions, Miller allowed the No Man name to lapse.
