CURVED AIR ~ LIVE ESOTERIC 2067 (Barcode: 5013929716728) ~ UK ~ Progressive Rock Recorded: 1974Released: 2008 5th album by the excellent British Prog band Curved AirFind albums by this artist and the first live recording done by the group after it re-formed following the hiatus of the two preceding years when founding members Darryl WayFind albums by this artist (violin) and Francis MonkmanFind albums by this artist (guitar and keyboards) left to follow solo careers. The re-united group was fronted (as always) by the divine singer Sonja KristinaFind albums by this artist and included also the fourth founding member drummer Florian Pilkington-MiksaFind albums by this artist, with just one new member bassist Phil KohnFind albums by this artist. The material includes songs from the first three seminal albums the band recorded, but the energetic and virtuoso performances on these live dates make it even stronger that the original recordings. Kristina is particularly brilliant with her strongest and most expressive voice ever recorded and with energies equal to those of Janis JoplinFind albums by this artist and Grace SlickFind albums by this artist. In retrospect this is certainly one of the strongest live Prog albums ever recorded and certainly the best British female vocalist in that genre recorded live. Not to be missed!
