4 stars  —  Curved Air’s first album achieved instant success due in no small part to the clever marketing of the initial copies. Although it has been done many times since, I believe this was the first “Picture disc”. Initial copies came in a clear plastic sleeve, with only the actual LP complete with numerous naked women, inside. This of course made it instantly desirable, no matter what the music was like. The problem was that after a number of plays, the paint started to wear off! As for the music, it is actually very good. The combination of Sonja Kristina’s excellent vocals, and instrumental prowess of Francis Monkman and Darryl Way made for some excellent tracks. “It happened today” sees Kristina sounding very assured, backed by some excellent violin by Way, particularly on the slower paced ending. There’s a good mix of soft tracks featuring Kristina’s unique voice (“Screw”, “Situations”) and funkier or more upbeat pieces (“Stretch”, Hide and seek”), but it’s the two “Vivaldi” tracks which form the signature tracks of the album. “Vivaldi” is a 7 minute piece of storming electric violin by Daryl Way (later covered on keyboards by SKY when Monkman joined that band). The theme is reprised at a more sedate pace but with exploding fireworks on “Vivaldi with Cannons” to end the album. The hype surrounding this album meant that it found an audience far quicker than it otherwise would have, but in truth, it is a mighty first album by any standard.

3 stars  —  Average album. Sonja Kristina's appeal to the male audience always overshadowed her vocal shortcomings. I still remember the blue hot pants from the gig at Bournemouth Winter Gardens in the late 70's! Pipe of Dreams is a nice instrumental, though.
