"If there is
one set of
people who can fairly be credited with lifting
folk music, or at least certain aspects of the music that hides under
that blanket term, away from its roots and bringing it to a wider
audience, then it must be the Incredible String Band. They have never
sheltered behind a purist tag and their music has gradually developed
over the years through many changes to become a unique blend of forms
and ideas from as many different cultures as you can imagine - from
America through British to Far Eastern. But the operative word is
unique, because you could never find a formula running through their
work and apply it to anyone else. From the days when
it was Clive Palmer, Robin Williamson and Mike Heron, through the time
when Mike and Robin were on their own, to the slow growth of the band
to a four-piece including Rose and Licorice, to the present day with
Robin, Mike, Licorice and Malcolm Le Maistre, the Incredibles have
brought a freshness of approach to music that has delighted and
enriched a scene that so often lacks delights or riches.
Their recent tours
of Britain and America should have brought to their latest incarnation
of the family closeness that is always a mark of the Incredibles at
their best. If they play as
well today as they did at the Festival Hall earlier in the year, their
set should be one of the highest in a day of high spots. Enjoy them."
