BACKGROUND
Three oldies here. I just think that they would make a nice segue, two songs with an instrumental in the middle. Two contrasting but brilliant wordsmiths. When you hear the lyrics Clive James wrote, you can't help thinking that he made a wrong career move somewhere down the line. The Incredible String Band were at their best when they utilised all manner of exotic instruments. Oregon are in their "eastern jazz" phase on this track, and I think it links the two contrasting songs nicely.
