Loveblows & Lovecries - A Confession is No-Man's debut album. It was released by One Little Indian Records label in May, 1993, and issued in a slightly different format on Epic Records/440 in May, 1994.

Taking It Like A Man, a single taken from the US version of the album reached number 34 on the Billboard Dance Charts in April 1994 and was used on the US TV drama, Models Inc.

Critically lauded at the time of its release, the album was considered by the likes of UK magazines Melody Maker and Lime Lizard as an intriguing combination of art-rock ambition, synth-pop textures, and infectious pop hooks.
