Some words on this issue: INCREDIBLE STRING BAND: “The Hangman’s Beautiful Daughter” (Elektra/ Victor Records – SWG-7560) 1972 rare Japan 1st press original on the “Guitar Player” logo Elektra imprint. “Continuing the inventiveness of ‘The 5000 Spirits’, the duo reaches their peak on this frequently brilliant record, creating some of the most mesmerizing psychedelic folk ever recorded. It opens with a masterful 3-song salvo from Williamson. ‘Koeeoaddi There’ is an evocative and utterly compelling childhood memoir, ‘The Minotaur’s Song’ is a crazed mock-operatic nonsense song delivered with impressive conviction and ‘Witches Hat’ manages to be silly, spooky and pretty all at once. The side ends with Heron’s notorious ‘A Very Cellular Song’, which divides fans, I find some sections preferable to others but there is no denying its uniqueness or ambition. On side 2 they come a little unstuck as the atmosphere becomes heavier and more portentous, largely unleavened by their trademark lightness of touch. There are wonderful things on it though – Heron’s ‘Swift As The Wind’ is an intense Indian blow-out, Williamson’s ‘Waltz Of The New Moon’ is another startling odd and beautiful song and his sitar-tinged closer ‘Nightfall’ is perhaps the most beautiful thing they ever recorded.” (RMJ – Galactic Ramble).
