boards of canada has mentioned these guys a few times as an influence so i d/led a couple albums off soulseek.... it took me a few songs to get into them... it can be very strange stuff, even bizzarre stuff at times (especially since i haven't been exposed to much folk) but i think this is also 'legitimately' weird music.. sort of psychodelic folk from the sixties (they played at woodstock) ive read a bit about them, and they're described as "Acid Folk" and "Trickster Folk" imagine the old songs you used to sing at the campfire at camp... grown up and on psychodelic drugs lol its often very playful... definitely has an absurd sense of humor and the outdoors/nature are definitely a big influence, in teh sounds and the lyrics (the lyrics are really good btw) btw you can hear a clear influence on BoC... especially in the wind sounds on Geogaddi anyway check them out u might like them.. but they are definitely NOT electronic lol |

btw i really like the organic-ness of their music.. all unaltered human voices and acoustic instruments... a nice change from all the electronic music i listen to |

their name is ¨THE INCREDIBLE STRING BAND"? |

Yeah. I saw the photos comparisons between BoC and the incredible string band. Probably just an homage to them from BoC. -P |

hehehe i downloaded a couple songs based on cabbog's recommendation. i dunno....it wasn't my taste......but maybe i didn't give them enough of a chance. sometimes if i don't like it on first listen, i find it hard to listen again...... |

some of their songs are really weird.. i still dont like all their stuff, but more and more of it is growing on me try the album "The Big Huge", i think its the best by far to start with (although i haven't heard all their stuff) for individual songs from that album try: Lordly Nightshade Cousin Caterpillar The Circle Is Unbroken |

does anyone here have lots of ISB mp3s? i have trouble finding many, even on soulseek (kazaas practically useless on the matter) btw, check out the song "October Song" too! |

No, 'The Hangman's Beautiful Daughter' is by far their best album.. Try doing a search for the song 'Witches Hat'. Curious, childlike, magical. |

i agree 100% |

...i never said "great big huge" was their best album, just the easiest to start with.. |

I have some of their material. Really nice and spontaneous setups. Imaginative. I'm used to folk music but this takes a while to get into. |
