Complete Curved Air: 4th Album - Progressive Rock Music Forum

I think Air Cut is great... how they managed to produce an album of that quality after the departure of Monkman and Way, I do not know... Midnight Wire and Airborne showed they couldn't repeat the trick however...

and Sky 4 was a great let-down...

Music has always been a matter of energy to me. On some nights I believe that a car with the needle on empty can run 50 more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio. Hunter S Thompson

Didn't know about Monkman's release. I'm gonna take a listen.

Air Cut is high up on my list of 1973 albums I recently posted on Mike's site. Eddie Jobson is incredible and he was only about 17 at the time. For me easily the best Curved Air album. It's polished and is great eclectic prog.
