Curved Air was a British progressive rock band and was formed in 1970 by Sonja Kristina (vocals), Darryl Way (violin), Francis Monkman (keyboards), Florian Pilkington-Miksa (drums). The group decided the name using a shortened version of Terry Riley’s composition “A rainbow in curved air”. In their first album “Air Conditioning”, a prominent role was given to vocals and violin; the album reached number 8 in the British charts. Then, in 1971, they released “Second Album”, highly recommended example of CURVED AIR sound (a mix of acoustic folk and progressive rock).
