I have a very specific flavor of KC I love and need your help finding more
Hi all,
I find that softer King Crimson songs hit me in such a way that I’ve rarely found similar evocation from music. I’m specifically looking for softer songs, though not necessarily acoustic. I’m going to list the KC songs that I’ve already got in my playlist as well as a couple other similar songs. If you can think of any further recommendations for me, I’d be super appreciative! Thank you!
Songs:
Exiles
Formentera Lady
Islands
I Talk to the Wind (also the duo version)
Cadence and Cascade (also the Greg Lake version)
Moonchild
Lady of the Dancing Water
Book of Saturday
Starless (I know this escapes the realm of soft, but I still love its buildup)
Trio
The Night Watch
Matte Kudesai (also the alternate version)
Walking On Air (surprisingly one of my favorites)
Fallen Angel
More Fool Me - Genesis
Drinking Age - Cameron Winter (I know this is out of left field, but I think it fits the bill)
Endless - Frank Ocean (similar to previous; not genre similar, but sonic similarity)
Spirit of Eden (album) - Talk Talk
Amphalos - The Chairmen
Age of Pinballs/Mr. Exorcist - Cancer
Edit to add more like-songs/albums:
Selling England by the Pound - Genesis
(some of) Close to the Edge - Yes
Bon Iver, generally (my favorite artist)
Edit:
I’m adding a list of new stuff I’ve listened to based on comments that I absolutely love:
- Refugees - Van Der Graaf Generator
- Song Within a Song - Camel
- Cheap Day Return - Jethro Tull
- Dawn: Dawn is a Feeling - The Moody Blues
- The Geese and the Ghost (album) - Anthony Phillips
- McDonald and Giles (album) - McDonald & Giles
