"Smiling Men with Bad Reputations" is the 1971 solo debut release by Mike Heron of the Incredible String Band.Here Heron was prone to generate odd, atmospheric melodies, some of which were drawn from Celtic and Eastern sources. "Spirit Beautiful" is a fine example in which Heron creates an Indian folk song with assistance from Indian musicians on strings and percussion.
