The first KC album I heard was the classic In The Court Of The Crimson King and have been hooked ever since.
In fact it was the Island sampler compilation LP Nice Enough To Eat that brought KC to my attention along with the many other great artists on that album.
I was blown away a few years ago, when I realised I was hearing Starless live, which I had assumed would never happen, seen it a few times since then and it's often the highlight of the show for me.
I like a lot of the early stuff, and Discipline is a wonderful album, but I've not really engaged with later stuff.
Listen to Fracture - a classic track!

Peter Sinfield got Gini Barris, to do Lizard's outside cover art. Inside is song lyrics printed over a marbled pattern by Koraz Wallpapers (run by Barris' boyfriend at the time). Lizard was her job after studying graphics at Central School of Art & Design in London. She contacted Sinfield after hearing he wanted a cover artist. She suggested creating medieval miniatures and Sinfield went for it. She didn't hear the music until after the album's release, but worked from the lyrics. She cited theLindisfarne Gospel and Très Riches Heures du Duc de Berry illuminated manuscriptsas her inspiration.
The trouble with KC's revolving-door lineup in the 70s is that their albums all sound quite different to each other- there's no guarantee that if you like one you'll like others. Well worth having a listen to find out though.
