5.0 out of 5 stars a magical album that deserves so much more attention ....., February 26, 2006

This album, made by former ISB-member Clive Palmer, John Bidwell and Mick Bennett with strong support by Ralph McTell is completely unique. Poetic, folky (but not in the ordinary way), it somehow evokes an almost oriental feel, which is enhanced by the title, the cover and the lyrics of some of the songs. The songs are very strong individually and together they form a powerful whole - which is quite rare.

I used to think that Clive Palmer was not really important as he had left the Incredible String Band after their first lp, but all the stories surrounding him and this marvellous work especially show how wrong I was. I love this album dearly.

If you like the "Liquid Acrobat"-era Incredible String Band, be sure to pick this up. Dark, brooding sonorities from harmoniums and clarinets, droning dulcimers, Mike Heron-ish vocals, plus of course original ISB-mate Clive Palmer on board. I missed this first time around but am glad to have it now.
