1992 The Hangman\'s Beautiful Daughter CD Elektra 7559-60835-2
The Hangman\'s Beautiful Daughter was the third album by The Incredible String Band, released in March 1968. It is regarded by many critics as a quintessential example of hippie culture, with its promotion of ideas such as communal living, eastern mysticism and pantheism.
The album was a major commercial success in the UK, staying in the charts for 27 weeks with a peak of #5. It has sold 800,000 copies in the UK to date. In the U.S., the ISB always remained underground and the album struggled to #161 on the Billboard 200. However, it was nominated for a Grammy in the folk music category.The
album featured a series of vividly dreamlike Robin Williamson songs, such as \"The Minotaur\'s Song\", a surreal music-hall parody told from the point of view of the mythical beast, and its centrepiece was Mike Heron\'s \"A Very Cellular Song\", a 13-minute reflection on life, love and amoebas; its complex structure incorporated a Bahamian spiritual (\"I Bid You Goodnight\", originally recorded by the Pinder Family) and an adaptation of a Sikh hymn (\"May the pure light within you\"). It had a layered production, using multi-track recording techniques and a very wide array of instruments from all corners of the world, including sitar, gimbri, shenai, oud, harpsichord, panpipes and kazoo.
