2018 Expanded & Remastered Double Disc edition CURVED AIR’s classic debut album: ‘Air Conditioning’ from 1970!

Originally released on Warner Brothers label in November 1970, ‘Air Conditioning’ showcased the highly innovative talents of Sonja Kristina (vocals), ex-Royal College of Music student Darryl Way (violin), former Royal Academy of Music student Francis Monkman (electric guitar / piano / Mellotron / VCS3 synthesiser), Rob Martin (bass) and Florian Pilkington-Miksa (drums).
Taking their name from the album: ‘A Rainbow In Curved Air' by American composer Terry Riley, CURVED AIR’s debut album perfectly demonstrated the band’s innovative musical approach, blending classical, electronic and folk music influences in their work, with the added plus of Sonja Kristina’s sublime vocals.

Featuring such classic tracks as: ‘It Happened Today’, ‘Propositions’, ‘Vivaldi’ and ‘Situations’, 'Air Conditioning' was a Top Ten album in the UK and firmly established CURVED AIR as one of Britain’s foremost Progressive bands.

This new Expanded Double Disc edition of the ‘Air Conditioning’ album has been Remastered from the Original Master Tapes, and it comes with 11 Bonus Tracks that include the Rare Single version of: ‘It Happened Today’ and the non-album track: ‘What Happens When You Blow Yourself Up’ on Disc 1.
Within the 9 Bonus Tracks on Disc 2 there are 3 Previously Unissued Session Out-Takes of: ‘It Happened Today’, ‘Rob One’ and the highly sought-after: ‘Thinking On The Floor’ and six tracks recorded in session for BBC Radio One between November 1970 and January 1971.
