I thought Sky 3 was fresh and didn't try to copy the previous works.  It's more jazzy.  After that, well, I'm in agreement with everyone.

The Curved Air with Eddy Jobson has "Metamorphosis", which to me is a defining epic of the prog era

I agree about Sky3 being a let down - no-one could replace the genius of Monkman.

Voted for Phantasmagoria.

Sky 3 was given to me as a birthday present by my sister and I still have the original vinyl. Massive let down after the brilliant and expansive Sky 2. The only Curved Air album I like all that much is 1973's Air Cut with Eddie Jobson. The other albums on the list I don't know. No Vote.

Sky 3 is by far not as good as Sky 1 and 2, Phantasmagoria also for me.

Sky 3 for me.  I think all Curved albums are good not great and about equal.

I only know Phantasmagoria from the list, and I don't expect that I would like anything else here nearly as much.

Phantasmagoria is pretty much perfect to me. Don't really care to find out about the rest I'm afraid (I've checked out Wolf and Monkman decades ago though).

I actually think Sky 3 is a pretty decent album and I really enjoyed it in my teens, but it was downhill from there, besides FM left after Sky 2, severing the connection between the two outfits?
