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. ------------- One likes to believe In the freedom of music But glittering prizes And endless Compromises Shatter the illusion Of integrity |

Maybe Red or Larks Tounges in Aspic. ------------- "Let's get the hell away from this Eerie-ass piece of work so we can get on with the rest of our eerie-ass day" |

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" -------------
