Please recommend King Crimson albums…


Which King Crimson albums (CDs) have more of the mellow stuff (eg I talk to the wind, Epitaph, etc) and less of the nasty sounding stuff.   20th Century Schitzoid man is fine (just not daily). Their jazzy stuff is fine also. 
 

Thanks for your time.

There are many live albums (Live in Toronto, Radical Action, etc.) which are at least worth browsing through to see if any of it agrees with you. Much incredible muscianship is on display but they don't do mellow for very long at a stretch so that may be a bridge too far perhaps. One man's nasty is another man's nirvana.

Since you are okay with the jazzy King Crimson I would suggest Islands. Get the Steven Wilson re mix.

Beginning your KC journey, start with the 1st 4 albums(CD).

 

Happy Listening!

If you do get the first 2KC cds, get the 40th Anniversary Series for each. Lots of extra music, various recordings and a bonus dvd. Well worth the extra cost plus a very good recording.
