Curved Air – Airconditioning 1970

The Beatles changed everything and by 1970 when they split up, almost anything was possible; an explosion of musical styles and sounds.  Curved Air were a five piece, containing classical and rock musicians; their sound a hybrid of both.  But what made them fantastic was their lead singer Sonia Kristina whose swooping voice perfectly complimented the music.  This album contained the hit ‘It Happened Today’ as well as two interpretations of Vivaldi’s music.  They made 7 albums in the Seventies- and reformed in this Century.    Of course, if they started today nobody would give them the time of day, but that was the beauty of The Seventies – anything was possible.  I loved them.
