Product Description
CD Description
This two-for-one collection brings together the Incredible String Band's second and third albums, 5000 SPIRITS OR THE LAYERS OF THE ONION and THE HANGMAN'S BEAUTIFUL DAUGHTER, respectively. Entirely acoustic, 5000 SPIRITS features guitars,bass, flute, and various percussion instruments, all in theservice of the Incredible String Band (comprised mainly of Robin Williamson and Mike Heron here) and their tripped-out British folk. While "The Mad Hatter's Song" is staunchly 1960s underground fare, there is also a heavy minstrel tradition on 5000 SPIRITS, with dashes of blues ("No Sleep Blues"), Middle Eastern music ("The Eyes of Fate"), and Dylan-inspired revivalism ("Blues for the Muse").
On THE HANGMAN'S BEAUTIFUL DAUGHTER, the duo's songs have a more open, flowing structure, augmented by unconventional instrumentation (Jew'sharp, oud, Pan pipe, sitar). The ISB's brew of Celtic melodies, blues, bluegrass, and period psychedelia is still intact, but the whole is expanded in vision to include sweeping cinematic gestures, choral voices, and increasingly surreal lyrics. "The Minotaur's Song", for example, sounds like it might have been performed for King Arthur by a band of wandering, drug-addled psychos. Elsewhere, "A Very Cellular Song" is a lengthy suite comprised of small song fragments. In ambition, wit, and charm, the record provides a fine complement to 5000 SPIRITS.
