"RECORD MIRROR"The pants of the Donovan revival are now in full swing, it seems. Moodier than Bill Moody, this sparse, snare-drum-snapping version is a real triumph of content over concept. Go straight to No Man's Land, do not pass Manchester, do not collect £200. Dead good.

""MELODY MAKER""Welcome to the phenomenon of Donovan." On the other hand this is sort of magnificently topical. So I dunno. But it's still flushed with the "sexily religious" groove I'm inventing here as we go along. No-Man are apparently two Cheshire arts students and an Israeli violinist. They claim to be very nice people who did this stuff with the great Mickie Most's approval long before Floppy Mondays announced they'd be covering 'Colours'. Then they add, in small print, "Oh, and also Happy Mondays are an average pub rock band with a nice line in record companies and remix engineers", which is very sweet. I am championing their lovely record, despite the fact that the more Donovan retreads that come out, the less chance there is of a rather wonderful duet of 'Season Of The Witch' by Cindy Lee Berryhill and myself becoming the biggest-selling artwork of the decade. I am doing this because I am incredibly foolish and because I would do practically anything to fuck up Baggy Mondays and that smug Tony bloke. And because it shags along with just a low breathy voice and intensely sparse drums for over two minutes before there's a split-second perfect cascade of (beautiful beautiful) violins and guitars and then everything ends with yer archetypal choir of angels. It's gorgeous and addictive, the singer is king of the world for the next hour or so, and I hope it does so well that Shaun Ryder's sheepdogs have to retire. No-Man exude the poise and confidence The Beloved want to exude. Twenty five times on the deck and rising.

"SOUNDS"In a week bereft of class, No-Man's bewitching version of Donovan's 'Colours' oozes more poise and presence than most of the rest combined.
It's a remarkable debut that owes little to Trevor and Simon but a great deal to The Blue Nile, Talk Talk, some heavenly hip hop and a violin courtesy of Ben Coleman that gives the song a lovely languid edge, lifting it skyward and holding it there for just the right amount of time.
'Colours' takes a deep breath and proceeds to let it out slowly, smoothly and serenely. Shine on, No-Man, shine on.
