Can anyone recomend me anything like the album Starless and Bible Black, my favorite King Crimson Album. I like it probably because they explore so many styles and perfect them on just one album. An album very unlike anything they ever did before or after.

Have you picked up the live Crimson album from the Wetton-Bruford time
period? "The Night Watch." A lot of improv and if you like that album and the
rest of the middle-era Crimson, you'll love it.

In the freedom of music
But glittering prizes
And endless Compromises
Shatter the illusion
Of integrity

Maybe Red or Larks Tounges in Aspic.

SOTOS - a French band with a somewhat mid-70s Crimson sound (with violin, cello, guitar, bass and drums, but no vocals) they are also reminiscent of Univers Zero and Magma.

I recommend their second album "Platypus" (2002).

I think that "LARK'S TONGUES IN ASPIC" is their masterpiece, better than "STARLESS AND BIBLE BLACK" and "RED".

huumm...for relative similar musical expressions to King Crimson's classic era, try "Palepoli" by the Italian Osanna and the french Asian Minor with their "Between flesh and Divine"
