Our Take

Ah, Curved Air - the band that's as delightfully twisted as their name suggests. Live In The UK 1971 captures the essence of this iconic prog rock group in all its glory, offering listeners a vibrant snapshot of their electrifying performance.

From the moment the needle hits the light green vinyl, you're transported back to a time when rock 'n' roll ruled the airwaves and flared trousers were all the rage. The energy on this album is infectious, with frontwoman Sonja Kristina's vocals soaring high above the swirling instrumentation like a psychedelic bird of prey.

Tracks like "Vivaldi" and "Propositions" showcase Curved Air at their most experimental, blending classical influences with a rock 'n' roll sensibility that's as unique as it is infectious. The band's musicianship is top-notch, with each member delivering a virtuosic performance that's sure to leave you spellbound.

But what really sets Live In The UK 1971 apart is its undeniable charm. There's a sense of playfulness in Curved Air's music that's impossible to resist, making this album a joy to listen to from start to finish.

So, whether you're a die-hard Curved Air fan or a newcomer to the world of prog rock, Live In The UK 1971 is a must-have addition to your vinyl collection. Trust us, you won't be disappointed.
