Thread Name: Incredible String Band 2002. Any good?
Subject: RE: Incredible String Band 2002. Any good?
I agree about the 1st record and I must admit that I was there in 1967 and I can just about remember those days. Which is why I am a little wary now of seeing the reunited ISB as they gave me many nights of pleasure, and I like to remember them young and pushing the boundaries.

Apart from when they were just a duo, they were never a 'tight' unit and I think many newer viewers to this version may be expecting this. That was never their strength, I have yet to hear Robin ever sing a song the same way twice.

So it might be a question then of us sticking with the records and the memories? We will just have to see what folk who have seen this version have to say.
