Review

The Wire (12/00, p.38) - "...Reached number 5 in the UK album charts in 1968 and made pop stars of the group....Part bricolage, part borrowing, part theft....this is highly sophisticated music, which nods as much to Dylan Thomas and Flann O'Brien as Robbie Burns or Jeannie Robertson..."
Mojo (Publisher) (p.72) - "The sprawling, 12-minute 'A Very Cellular Song' blend Presbyterian hymn with cello reveries and ska."

Title Note

The Incredible String Band: Robin Williamson (vocals, guitar, oud, mandolin, jew's harp, water harp, chahanai, gimbri, whistle, pan pipe, harmonica, piano, percussion); Mike Heron (vocals, guitar, sitar, hammer dulcimer, organ, harpsichord).

Additional personnel: Licorice (vocals, finger cymbals); David Snell (harp); Dolly Collins (flute, piano, organ).

Recorded at Sound Techniques, London, England in 1968.

Although it sounds elitist, "you had to be there to really appreciate it." Seeing them perform in 1968 and 1969 was a bizarre and rewarding sight. Medieval costumes, dancing maidens, and an unbelievable array of instruments: to see the Incredibles perform was a remarkable experience. They epitomized the "new age traveller" and as such are highly influential, and sadly under-appreciated. Thirty years later, their challenging folk music has not become any easier. Hearing the epic 13-minute 'A Very Cellular Song', with its many changes and parts, is still pretty formidable. Easy to poke fun at, but they were absolutely sincere, and very good at it.
