The Incredible String Band – 'U' (A Surreal Parable in Song and Dance)
Elektra 7559 62761-2 (2002)
"U" is something special, and almost accidental. Its structure, dictated by its title, seems almost unapparent in the music itself. Look closely at the cover: it represents a "Siddhartha" like journey from the purity of innocence, down into the temptation and turmoil of the physical world, returning to a high level of spirtuality. What is lost? Innocence, represented by the little ball at the top left, then left behind at the lower right. Easy enough.
Judging from the cover, the song that tells this story best is "The Juggler's Song", a lovely little parable that reveals the whole story, and sets the band free to amble through their "surrealist " mutli-media adventure at will. The liner notes fill you in on the history of the few performances of "U" and it's demanding recording schedule. But, despite all the limitations, setbacks and misinterpretations, the music remains magical, adventurous and charmingly beautiful. The CD is a fitting record of an idiosyncratic project that shines all the more for its eccentricity.
Listening, you feel that in this instance, in a more profound way than in other early period ISB recordings, Williamson and Heron worked apart from one another. Williamson does the heavy lifting: with the exception of "Robot Blues", "The Juggler's Song", "Time" "Queen of Love", "Astral Plane Theme", "Invocation", "Puppet Song" and "Cutting the Strings", are solemn, striking a sometimes ominous and serious tone in both music and lyric. These pieces advance the story in the most tangible way.
Heron delivers less-abstract, more emotional charges to the proceedings. His plaintive voice is perfect in "Light in time of Darkness" and the "Hirem Pawnitoff" medley with the traditional "Fairies' Hornpipe" injects energy and spirit. But Heron's "Rainbow" crowns the whole project with a wonderful, melodious sing-along that will stay with you. Does anyone remember his marvelous "Feast of Stephen" from "Smiling Men With Bad Reputations"? "Rainbow" gives off the same light.
ISB is again eclectic, drawing freely from a range of traditional musics and instruments in a broad and masterful variety of styles and ideas. Sitars and fiddles move us from one culture to another in relative ease - the music is never forced or artificial. "Rainbow" and many other parts of "U" stayed with me for years. The melodies would turn up unexpectedly, in quiet moments or while falling to sleep. As would the words: "I was your slave, now you are mine, I am time..." So much so that I tracked down a good-condition copy of the LP just two years ago and had it coverted to CD. Needless to say, the sound quality of this reissue easily surpasses what I remember from the vinyl.
Music offers each of us so much more than the Billboard charts and A&R men can ever hope to understand. "U" is unique in it's singular and eccentric existence, and it's back again. If you remember it, buy it once more. If you've never heard it, listen closely. It represents a time and a music that the untiring commercial impulse of the industry has conspired, but failed, to erase.
