Hard Rope & Silken Twine is the twelfth and final album released by The Incredible String Band. It was released in 1974. It was fitting that their final track "Ithkos" was 20 minutes of several compositions. Such lengthy compositions were common for the band during their heyday.
Listening to the Incredible String Band could either be a joyous or excruciating experience - sometimes both in the space of the same song, and this album is a prime example of the extremes they could reach. Here Mike Heron contributes the wonderful "Make of Island," while Robin Williamson contributes "Dreams of No Return" with some delicious sitar work. But it's in the epic "Ithkos" that the band's full ambitions show themselves
