Our Take

Ah, the Incredible String Band. A name that conjures up images of hippies frolicking in meadows, strumming their acoustic guitars and spreading peace and love. Earthspan & No is a double-album reissue that promises to transport listeners back to the psychedelic folk era of the late 1960s.

On Earthspan, the band showcases their trademark blend of folk, rock, and world music influences. Tracks like "Rainbow" and "At the Lighthouse Dance" are whimsical and ethereal, with intricate instrumentation and beautiful harmonies that weave together seamlessly. The band's mystical lyrics and otherworldly vocals add to the album's dreamlike quality, making it a truly enchanting listening experience.

No continues the journey with a more experimental approach, incorporating elements of blues, jazz, and even Eastern music. "Talking of the End" is a standout track, with its haunting melody and thought-provoking lyrics. The band's musicianship shines through on songs like "Moon Hang Low" and "The Actor," showcasing their ability to create complex, innovative arrangements that push the boundaries of traditional folk music.

Overall, Earthspan & No is a masterful showcase of the Incredible String Band's eclectic sound and visionary songwriting. It's a nostalgic trip back to a vibrant and influential time in music history, and a reminder of the band's enduring legacy in the folk and psychedelic music genres. Sit back, relax, and let the music take you on a mesmerising journey through time and space.
