Liquid Acrobat as Regards the Air is the ninth album by the Incredible String Band. It features Mike Heron, Robin Williamson, Licorice McKechnie and Malcolm Le Maistre. The album was the band's first almost entirely electric recording; a new feature that was to define the change in the band's sound. 1. "Talking Of The End" 5:30 2. "Dear Old Battlefield" 3:05 3. "Cosmic Boy" Mike Heron, Licorice McKechnie 3:49 4. "Worlds They Rise and Fall" Heron 3:23 5. "Evolution Rag" 4:42 6. "Painted Chariot" Heron 3:42 7. "Adam and Eve" 2:31 8. "Red Hair" Heron 2:05 9. "Here Till Here is There" 3:04 10. "Tree" Heron 2:58 11. "Jigs: Eyes Like Leaves / Sunday Is My Wedding Day / Drops Of Whiskey / Grumbling Old Men" Traditional, arr. Williamson 2:41 12. "Darling Belle" 10:59 A weird and slightly out of place album by ISB I don't mean that as a bad thing still a great album, almost in the way that hangmans beautiful daughter is quite different this one is too not just because of the electrification its got a different feel to their earlier stuff. Annother way to put it would be to say this and Hangmans are harder to get into than the others, I spose in a way ISB can be hard to get into as a whole but they are so worth it they are without question the most unusual and unique bands of all time its worth starting with 5000 spirits or changing horses then move on too wee tam then tackle this and hangmans once your love for ISB is established :) I like this one in its own right its def not as good as wee tam or U, but its a classic by a truly remarkable band. Enjoy!
