The Incredible String Band can seem a little, well, strange to the uninitiated listener. Songs that leap from one genre to another in the course of two lines, long mystical poems and schoolboy humour, wayward harmonies and soundscapes beyond the wildest dreams of a synth. You might think it's just a dream that died when the last flowered kaftan went to the charity shop. But to open your ears and mind to them is to discover a band of unique beauty and depth. This short book hopes to introduce you first to their masterpieces then to the other treasures that their albums of the 60s and 70s offer. It's not a biography or a book for committed fans. If you've ever wondered what they were about and were just a bit curious - it's for you.
