SECOND ALBUM

Curved Air was in early '70s one of the promissing prog bands from Britain, but with all that they run out of ideas pretty quikly and after 3 good albums they optain for some more commercial aproach in total contrast with fans desire to come with another albums as good as thir second release from 1971 named simply second album. This one is among their better works where the voice of Sonja Christina is all the place, but aswell the instrumental sections are more then ok. To me Curved Air music is something between dutch Earth and Fire early albums and belgian Mad Curry, both female fronted prog bands and similar in style. The forte pieces from here are the opening Young Mother, Back street luv and maybe You know, the rest are ok but nothing really special. The violin parts are good aswell. So a pleasent album, but noting really exciting like other prog albums from that period. 3 stars for sure.
