"Islands" (1971) marks a transitional chapter in King Crimson's evolution - a lush, orchestral and jazz-inflected prog record featuring the short-lived Boz Burrell/Mel Collins lineup. More melodic and atmospheric than its predecessors, the album moves between gentle chamber pieces and dense improvisational passages. The title track and "Formentera Lady" are particular highlights. A highly sought-after early Crimson pressing for serious collectors.
