The Incredible String Band - El Wool Suite, Time, Queen Of Love, Partial Belated Overture, Walking Along With You and Hirem Pawnitof/Fairies' Hornpipe
From side one of the seventh album by the British (Formed in Edinburgh, Scotland) Psychedel folk/Folk rock group, "U" (1970).
A double album, the music was part of a multimedia project the band undertook algonside the dance troupe Stone Monkey (including Malcolm le Maistre, who became a member if ISB soon after). (Quoting Wikipedia directly in the next two sentences) The project was described my ISB co-founder Robin Williamson as a "surreal parable in song and dance", one that was "neither a pageant, a play, dance, theater, nor pantomime, though there were elements of all of those" in the show. For the plot, Williamson explained "the vague notion was, a soul incarnates out of nowhere, lives, and then vanishes again at the other end. Hence the idea 'U'". Very hippy-dippy UK Underground-type stuff, but rich in different musical styles and instrumentation.
I'll follow up with side two later on.
