Post King Crimson
Hi,

I know nearly nothing about King Crimson (Okay...I heard Elephant Talk, but that's about it) and I whant to change that.

What are the "must have" CDs of King Crimson ?

Thanx in advance

Well according to Bill Bruford the 2 masterpieces are

Red
Discipline

I agree with that (the best of the 2 most important periods)

They went through different phases and incarnations. From the early era, Court of the Crimson King, Starless and Bible Black. From the Middle era- Discipline, Beat . From the Later era Thrak, Power to Believe. They also have many many live "official" bootlegs, and videos out there. I wouldn't listen to them back to back or nonstop. It's easy to OD on King Crimson. :)

I really like "Three of a perfect pair" too.
And in case you also like Jazz, look for the "Crimson Jazz Trio"; jazzed up KC covers played by an excellent jazz trio.


Cheers, Daniel.

Too many changes over the years to narrow down to one era. But since you're coming from a Stick player's forum, I would strongly suggest to start with Discipline and Beat and then start moving out in both directions.

You may start with Eyes Wide Open DVD (part I, for instance), as I did.

I agree - it is very easy to OD on King Crimson...it is that good. I'd suggest taking it chronologically. Don't forget to explore a little Robert Fripp on your way. Take your time and enjoy.
