Curved Air were briefly a sensation in the world of British progressive- rock because of the sensual vocals of ' s ( a veteran of the musical Hair ) and ' s romantic violin. This was the same combination tested in California by It' s a Beautiful Day. Francis Monkman ( the real genius behind their compositions) added a synthesiser.

Air Conditioning ( 1970) contains & quot; Vivaldi& quot; , their most celebrated piece. Second Album ( 1971) delivered their only hit, & quot; Back Street Luv& quot; , and the twelve- minute & quot; Piece of Mind& quot; . Their artistic peak was reached with Phantasmagoria ( 1972) , but the band dissolved after Air Cut ( 1973) , with Eddie Jobson taking over violin and keyboard duties.

Kristina was joined by her husband ( future ) for a new version of Curved Air that released Midnight Wire 1975) and Airborne ( 1976) . User- contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By- SA License and may also be available under the GNU FDL.
