A great introduction to a powerful progressive rock band.

"I would probably recommend this disc as a perfect introduction to the band Curved Air, for it features solid tracks from throughout their years (and various line-ups). I actually strongly prefer the live performances of some of these songs to the album versions, for they feel much more alive and full of energy. Collected from four BBC recordings from 1970 through 1976, they showcase singer Sonja Kristina's unique vocals perfectly, as well as the strong musicianship of the rest of the band. Stand-out tracks to me are the intense version of "Propositions" and a terrific version of "Midnight Wire". Even though they are culled from different years and performances, the album has a nice coherence to it and is a worthwhile addition to any progressive rock collection."
