The Ocean That Only Begins: The Incredible String Band for Newcomers (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

The Incredible String Band can seem a little, well, strange to the uninitiated listener. Songs that leap from one genre to another in the course of two lines, long mystical poems and schoolboy humour, wayward harmonies and soundscapes beyond the wildest dreams of a synth. You might think it's just a dream that died when the last flowered kaftan went to the charity shop. But to open your ears and mind to them is to discover a band of unique beauty and depth. This short book hopes to introduce you first to their masterpieces then to the other treasures that their albums of the 60s and 70s offer. It's not a biography or a book for committed fans. If you've ever wondered what they were about and were just a bit curious - it's for you.

Autorenporträt

Norman Lamont went from becoming a String Band fan to a String Band nerd in two stages. Stage 1 was when Licorice McKechnie gave him a kiss for his 18th birthday backstage at Glasgow Kelvin Hall. Stage 2 was when he went to the first Incredible String Band fan convention in Hebden Bridge twenty years after the band's demise and surprised himself by winning a String Band trivia quiz.

Among other things he is a singer/songwriter. His 2014 album tracks and lyrics are at http://www.allthetimeinheaven.com. Some of it was described as 'Nick Cave meets Robert Fripp'.

But he has never been a government minister. That was an imposter.
