Air Conditioning Import

Reader Reviews
This is Curved Air's first, most successful (UK charts #8) and most diverse album, originally issued in 1970 as a picture disc, which is a valuable collector's item today. "A/C" also found some friends among lovers of classical music, because Curved Air basically pioneered the concept of applying the sound of a violin to hard rock music. But given the fact that rock music with classical influences has been re-defined by bands like Dead Can Dance, In The Nursery, and Durutti Column in the '80s and '90s, songs like "Vivaldi" are just a pale memory. Still, there are many decent tracks here, especially the dramatic "It happened today", "Stretch" with its bluesy guitar rock, and well-thought ballads like "Blind man" and "Rob one". Unfortunately, the sound quality is not good and makes the music shrill and unfriendly. It's essential for all fans of early prog rock, but I think you shouldn't expect too much from it except you're stuck in the '70s.
