1970 - From Home to Home
I Kaleidoscope cambiano nome in Fairfield Parlour e nell'agosto del 1970 Pubblicano su Vertigo From Home to Home.
Nonostante il fatto che ora vengano definiti una progressive rock band, la loro musica non è cambiata molto e ancora include testi fiabeschi e armonia psichedelica. Il primo singolo della band come Fairfield Parlour, "Bordeaux Rosé", è stato rilasciato il 17 aprile 1970 l'etichetta Vertigo. Ha ottenuto una notevole quantità di passaggi radiofonici, ma non è riuscito a raggiungere il successo.
Dopo aver rilasciato diversi singoli, l'album From Home to Home è stato pubblicato il 14 agosto 1970 con la produzione di Symond.
1969 - Mighty Baby
Post psychedelia che strizza un occhio al progressive.
La band Mighty Baby è stata costituita nel 1968, con alcuni membri dell'appena sciolto gruppo Mod The Action.
Ha colpito subito in studio e aveva un album pronto entro la fine del '68 che, alla fine, è stato pubblicato verso la fine del 1969 sull'etichetta Head Records.
Durante il 1970 molti dei membri della band si convertirono all'Islam, e quando il loro secondo album A Jug of Love è apparso nel 1971, l'alterazione in vista religioso e filosofico da parte dei membri della band ha influenzato anche la loro espressione stilistica, con un conseguente secondo album molto diverso.
Questa seconda produzione anche dimostrato di essere gli album finali a venire da questa band. Negli anni successivi le registrazioni d'archivio concert sono emersi di volta in volta, l'acquisizione di un appassionato gruppo di improvvisazione durante l'esecuzione dal vivo.

1971 - Islands Island Records ILPS 9175
Uscito in contemporanea o quasi in UK Italia Spagna Germania Francia Australia e, ad eccezione di Australia(stampato anche da Festival Records) e Spagna(Ariola), su Island "Pink Rim".
In seguito anche negli U.S.A. ma su Atlantic così come su Atlantic lo troviamo canadese e giapponese.
Ristampato a più riprese da Polydor.
- Robert Fripp / guitar, Mellotron, Peter's Pedal Harmonium and sundry implements
- Mel Collins / flute, bass flute, saxes and vocals
- Boz Burrell / bass guitar, lead vocals and choreography
- Ian Wallace / drums, percussion and vocals
- Peter Sinfield / words, sounds and visions
with:
- Keith Tippet / piano
- Paulina Lucas / soprano
- Robin Miller / oboe
- Mark Charig / cornet
- Harry Miller / string bass
A mio modo di vedere il punto più basso dei primi King Crimson.
Il lirismo di Sinfield è fin troppo accentuato.
Forse perchè ci avevano abituato troppo bene con i primi 3 album.

".....The bass is a real highlight on this album for me. It moves with a destructive power, and a texture as though something extremely heavy is being dragged. It feels and sounds like snow when crushed under boots. In fact, I find this album bestows frequently imagery. Sandy dunes and polar scenes alike. It smoothly and fluently evolves from dark choruses to jovial themes. At some moments, even, melancholic piano announces a beautiful melody. Other times, guitar and a beautiful female voice together chant a haunting string of notes. Even a few dispersed sax and flute solos appear. But throughout the album, these moments are kept scarce. The majority of the album is comprised of intense rhythms supporting a powerful and destructive guitar line, as spacey keyboards tie it all together. The songs are all somewhat similar, but not to the point the album is redundant. It rather makes the album coherent and gives it its distinct flow.
I can't stress enough how really fantastic this experience is. The singing is just impeccable, and the melodies are haunting and very pronounced........"

1972 - Music Of Another Present Era
Paul McCandless - Oboe & Piano

Collin Walcott - Multi-Instrumentalist
Music of Another Present Era rimane il capolavoro più duraturo degli Oregon.
Il raggiungimento di un perfetto equilibrio di tradizioni musicali di Oriente e Occidente, antico per il futuro, hanno posto le basi non solo per una transculturalismo nuovo nel jazz, ma ha anche creato un modello duraturo per la fusione di musiche dalle tradizioni del mondo che sarebbe fiorito più di un decennio dopo.

Eberhard Weber - Bass
Charlie Mariano - Soprano Sax, Shehnai, Nagaswaram
Rainer Bruninghaus - Piano, Synth
Jon Christensen - Drums
The AllMusic review awarded the album four out of five stars.
The Penguin Guide to Jazz awarded it the maximum four stars and placed it in their Core Collection, writing:
"Weber's masterpiece is essentially a period piece which nevertheless still seems modern. The sound of it is almost absurdly opulent: bass passages and swimming keyboard textures that reverberate from the speakers, chords that seem to hum with huge overtones. The keyboard textures in particular are of a kind that will probably never be heard on record again."
