Lovesighs – An Entertainment is an EP released by No-Man in 1992 on the One Little Indian label. It comprised the band's singles and B-sides from 1990 and 1991.
An ambitious and diverse collection of sensual songs and innovative instrumentals, the album combined influences from dub, dream pop, classical and hip-hop music.
Both "Colours" and "Days in the Trees" were singles of the week in Melody Maker and Sounds and on Channel Four's teletext.
"Lovesighs" was trailed by a further single, "Ocean Song".
"Days in the Trees" shares its main melody with the Porcupine Tree track "Mute" (from 1994's Yellow Hedgerow Dreamscape).
