The debut release from the original Incredible String Band trio -- Robin Williamson (violin/whistle/mandolin/guitar/vocals), 

Clive Palmer (banjo/guitar/vocals), and Mike Heron (guitar/vocals) -- was also their most simple. 

It is this minimalism that allowed the natural radiance of the band's (mostly) original material to be evident 

in the purist sense, and likewise without many of the somewhat intricate distractions and musical tangents 

that their future work would incorporate. Immediately striking is the group's remarkable and collective prowess 

on seemingly all things stringed -- hence, their apropos moniker. With an unmistakable blend of distinct 

instrumentation and harmony vocals, the Incredible String Band take inspiration from traditional music 

on both sides of the Atlantic. Their impish charm and tongue-in-cheek fairytale mythology also add

to their folkie mystique. This first long-player -- originally issued in 1966 -- contains a bevy of songs that, 

while steeped in conventional folk music, are completely unique...(AllMusic)
