Review

As a member of the Incredible String Band, Williamson offered both deep, sometimes bizarre philosophical content and also some outrageous musical wit, making the band into one of the more enigmatic groups of the 1960s and 1970s. As a singer and songwriter, he is an acquired taste, but if you were attracted to early ISB philosophy and the more serious side of their music, then this album is right for you. Williamson actually re-creates some of the more esoteric sounds of the old band on Ring Dance. It's full of changing colors and emotions, rife with changing tempos and energy. The mix of skilled performance and childish whimsy in the instrumentation of this record makes for some heady, confusing listening, and Williamson's poetry is complex and demanding at times, incomprehensible at others. In 1998 as much as in 1968, Williamson's vision as a songwriter is personal in construction, but encompasses a universe of ideas and sounds, and is never going to be taken lightly. This CD has a companion release called A Job of Journey Work, and if you are a fan of the more fanciful and folksy sounds he is also known for, you should probably consider that one too. --Louis GibsonRemixed reissue from ex-Incredible String Band member. previously released on Demon.
