The Incredible String Band - On Air
Review by Pryska
On Air, the 1971 album by the Incredible String Band, is a masterpiece of psychedelic folk music. The album features a collection of live recordings from the band's BBC radio sessions, showcasing their unique blend of traditional folk music and experimental sounds.
The album opens with the hauntingly beautiful "Black Jack Davy," a traditional folk song that the band transforms into a mystical, otherworldly experience. The band's signature harmonies and intricate instrumentation are on full display throughout the album, as they weave together elements of Celtic, Indian, and Middle Eastern music.
One standout track is "The Half-Remarkable Question," a whimsical and playful song that showcases the band's sense of humor and their ability to create intricate, multi-layered arrangements. Another highlight is "Ducks on a Pond," a dreamy and meditative track that transports the listener to a tranquil, pastoral landscape.
