The Incredible String Band - The 5000 Spirits Or The Layers Of The Onion: An alternative Sgt. Pepper?
Update: 2025-10-06
Description
This week Peter did a monologue about the second album by The Incredible String Band, The 5000 Spirits Or The Layers Of The Onion. Topics covered include: the String Band’s unusual harmonic sense, the Eastern influence on their music, their importance to the 60s music scene in the U.K., why the band weren’t better known and the uniqueness of the Edinburgh folk scene. Also, who was the best sitar player in the 60s? Why don’t the band do any middle eights? What are the politics of turning an album over? And is you is or is you ain’t on board?
