 
Curved Space and Infinity
London, UK - “Curved Space & Infinity”, the second
volume of the CURVED AIR RARITIES SERIES, is now
available! These TWO separate albums, packaged
together are a must for fans of the legendary Prog
band and instrumental improvisational music!
This instrumental double CD set is the only Curved
Air release not to feature lead singer Sonja
Kristina, but has been released with her full
support and blessing.
The line-up on “Curved Space”, which was previously
released as Francis Monkman's “Jam” but now features
two previously unreleased bonus tracks, includes
Francis Monkman (guitar),
Florian Pilkington-Miksa (drums) and Rob Martin
(bass).
Francis Monkman commented “I’m
pleased that the ‘Jam CD’ has been transmuted into a
Curved Space release. An entirely collaborative
effort, I was never keen for it to be released in
the guise of a solo album, but there seemed to be no
viable alternative at the time. Listening to it
now, it seems to me to sound as fresh as ever -
indeed it was an ideal for some bands in the 1960s
to come as close as possible to jamming all the
time, precisely because the process of raw discovery
holds elements that simply cannot be reproduced when
material has been subjected to rehearsal (usually
after dissection into some kind of song format).”
The line-up on “Infinity”, which are all NEW 2016
STUDIO RECORDINGS includes Florian Pilkington-Miksa
(drums), Kirby Gregory (guitar) and Robert Norton
(keys).
Robert
Norton said of Infinity
“At times we found it hard to
believe these compositions were created entirely in
the moment and were genuinely surprised and inspired
by what emerged from them. The name Infinity
encapsulates the spirit of freedom with which the
three of us approached the making of this album and
the limitless possibilities of creating music in the
moment.”
