   deadmandeadman says I feel like I've climbed aboard the way-back machine. Cool.

   Madeline Burke says I haven't this band in a looooong time. Is it the rain that makes us so melancholy?

   Ohm51 says I love this song ... its been a favorite of mine for years. That extends to ISB's entire catalogue. ISB, to my mind, were and still are, pure genius and musical treasure. Pentangle, Fairport Convention, and the John Renbourn Group, as well. Just a word on the idea that if this might sound dated to some ... that in a way these tracks sounded 'dated' back then too, as ISB eschewed both modern electronics and modern forms. Their charm was largely due their insistance on using acoustic instrumentation and tapping into earlier musical forms. So this felt very unlike most of the popular music of the time, then as well. And Mike Herron's Blessing to the listener, at the end, is as poignant now as then. Ohm51

   Ohm51 says Your post inspired me to post a beautiful performance by Pentangle this morning. House Carpenter http://mog.com/Ohm51/blog_post/153169 Typically no one has viewed it yet, but I'm very glad that there are a few others around who both appreciate and understand this whole esthetic. Caw
