UK Prog Legends Curved Air “The Rarities Series Box Set” available September 20, 2024

Spirit of Unicorn Music is pleased to announce the release of Curved Air’s “The Rarities Series Box Set” on September 20, 2024.

This 6-CD box set includes all the CDs previously released in the Rarities series, but which have been out of print for quite some time. The package also includes a booklet with brand new liner notes written by PROG magazine editor Jerry Ewing. Ewing has interviewed the band’s enigmatic and beguiling lead singer Sonja Kristina, considered by many to be the First Lady of Prog, offering a new, fresh perspective on these recordings.

Formed in 1970, Curved Air’s work combined the influences of rock, folk and classical music, developing a fascinating and groundbreaking progressive fusion sound. They went on to become a seminal band within the British progressive rock movement, standing the test of time and still performing live to this day.

The box set contains:

Tapestry of Propositions: A one-hour version of “Propositions”, recorded live at 14 different locations in 2013/14.

Curved Space: previously released as “Jam” by Francis Monkman, now with two unreleased bonus tracks.

Infinity: with all new studio recordings from 2016.

The Second British Rock Meeting 1972: Contains the only known recording of this improvising line-up. The final track is a longer jam session of their hit Vivaldi and lasts over 30 minutes.

Live Under The Bridge: Featuring a complete performance of the legendary song “Air Conditioning.”

Curved Air has an exciting summer ahead of it: In July, the band will fly to the USA and Canada in an acoustic line-up for a series of 21 live shows as part of the Heat Of The Moment Tour together with other greats of progressive music such as Asia, Focus and Martin Turner (ex Wishbone Ash).
