CURVED AIR - Air Conditioning +11 (2CD) - UK Esoteric Remastered Expanded Digipack Edition - LISTEN

The wonderful, progressive debut by this British band is one of the most thrilling albums of that period. The band combined, in a very skilful and original way, elements of rock, ballad, classical music and folk, and everything was kept in a rather dark and psychedelic mood. My favourites are the superb, dark, 6-minute "Hide And Seek" that opened side B of the original vinyl and the perhaps even better "Situations". In truth every one of the compositions here deserves attention... It is simply an album without weak points! In addition, eleven previously unreleased tracks (alternative studio versions and recordings for the BBC).
