The Incredible String Band- The 5000 Spirits Or The Layers Of The Onion 1967
Excellent album by legendary band Incredible String Band. This the second album, released in 1967 contains a wide variety of instruments and has the whymsical imaginative songs that the British music scene were famous for during the late 60's. They have a song about a Cloud who's sad because he's the only cloud in the sky who can't cry and they have a song about a Hedgehog who wont leave him alone because he doesn't know all the words to a song! It really is one of the most imaginative albums of 1967, which is no east accomplishment, it wasn't till after this album that ISB started getting into 14 minute songs, like on the excellent follow up "The Hangman's Beautiful Daughter". I highly reccomend this album to anyone, it atleast deserves a listen! I hope you enjoy!
