	Air conditioning - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		An air conditioner (often abbreviated to AC in the United States, and air-con in Australia and in Great Britain) is an appliance or mechanism designed to extract heat from an area using a refrigeration cycle.
		An earlier form of air conditioning was invented in Persia (Iran) thousands of years ago in the form of wind shafts on the roof, which caught the wind and passed it through water and blew the cooled air into the building [1].
		In Europe, home air conditioning remains a rarity, and this lack is largely responsible for the estimated 35000 deaths left in the wake of the 2003 heat wave.

		Air volumes which are adjacent before separation at the leading edge of the aerofoil do not meet again at the trailing edge [4].
		Due to the pressure gradient inside the curved air stream an increase of pressure is to be expected at the inner or convex side of the plane in relation to the center center of curvature.
		The sail deflects the air flow and produces an increase of pressure at the inner side in relation to the center of curvature and a decrease of pressure at the outer side.

	VH1.com : Curved Air : Biography
		Curved Air's first album, Air Conditioning, was released in November 1970, a monumental recording that was flamboyantly issued as rock & roll's first-ever picture disc.
		Curved Air bounced back in spring 1972 with their masterpiece, Phantasmagoria, home to the spectacular "Marie Antoinette" and Monkman's side-long "Phantasmagoria" suite.
		Since that time, Curved Air has been best recalled by the Collector's Choice label's reissues of their first three albums and the excellent BBC Sessions collection, home to Way's otherwise unavailable showcase "Thinking on the Floor" alongside recordings dating from 1970, 1971, and 1976.

	Curved Air
		During this initial period, Curved Air actually managed to become a well-established commercial force in the UK, their albums all hitting the Top 20 and their live act being one of the most glamorous of the epoch, with light shows, fantastiwastic costumes and everything that goes along with it.
		The last incarnation of Curved Air lasted for two years, was far more pop-inclined yet never really recaptured the commercial success of the early years, as prog was increasingly becoming out of favour, yet the world wasn't really ready for 'sellouts' yet, as it would be in the early Eighties.
		With Curved Air's attitude, the main thing is to be stern and cold - and tasteful - and that riff really embodies that attitude, a love song that's even more merciless than the Rolling Stones in their Aftermath period, you could say.

		Curved Air were briefly a sensation in the world of British progressive-rock becuse of Sonja Cristina's sensual vocals (a veteran of the "Hair" musical play) and Darryl Way's romantic violin, the same combination tested in California by It's A Beautiful Day, plus Francis Monkman's synthesizer (the real genius behind their compositions).
		Kristina was joined by her husband Stewart Copeland (future Police) for a new version of Curved Air that released Midnight Wire (BTM, 1975) and Airborne (BTM, 1976).
		Curved Air violinist Darryl Way had already released three albums with his band Wolf, Canis Lupus (Deram, 1973), Saturation Point (Deram, 1973) and Night Music (Deram, 1974), compiled on Wolf (London, 1974).

	CURVED AIR Air Cut reviews and MP3
		The other Curved Air trademark, the violin of Way was mainly replaced by keyboards, with Jobson only reverting to violin on a couple of tracks.
		If all Curved Air means to you is the full frontal nudity of the cover of their first album, plus variations on “Vivaldi”, this album will open up a whole new dimension for you.
		True ability as the rock band of CURVED AIR was demonstrated by acquiring Jim Russell with him.

		I am deeply familiar with that pairing of "A Rainbow in Curved Air" and "Poppy Nogood and the Phantom Band." There have been stretches where I listened to "Cadenza on the Night Plain" to the exclusion of just about everything else.
		The second half of the program began with Riley performing "A Rainbow In Curved Air" as a trio of two keyboards and William Winant on percussion (thanks Heather, it was hard to see from the back of the room...

	PMPR - Market Square Records - Sonja Kristina - one-time Curved Air vocalist and prog-rock pin-up
		A critically-acclaimed but hard to find solo album by former Curved Air singer Sonja Kristina makes a welcome return to the retail racks from February 18 in the shape of "Song From The Acid Folk" (Market Square Records MSMCD109).
		This release comes with strong bonus tracks including the lovely "Penumbra" (which had been left off the original record) and the moving "Free to Be," a song for the production of Shona, a West End play starring Sonja and pre-dating "Acid Folk" by one year.
		This was a special time filled with life and energy and I am happy that this recording captures the magic of these players and their eloquent music.

		I really liked the album 'Air Cut' which was the last of the Curved Air Warner Brothers releases and am amazed that to this day (8th October 1997), it is the only Curved Air album I've not been able to find on CD.
		I attended several gigs and was delighted when the Original Curved Air came together again to perform a couple of gigs in North London.

		Curved Air mixed different styles with this album.
		For a time, Curved Air enjoyed considerable success with their first two albums, Air Conditioning (1970), and Second Album (1971), both of which were interesting prog-rock albums with a strong classical avant-garde influence.
		This lineup made an album called Air Cut, which is O.K., but it didn't match the previous albums, and the group disbanded shortly thereafter.

	Curved Air
		"Curved Air Live" was also issued on BTM (5001) in 1975.
		During an intensive three week UK tour "Curved Air Live" was recorded and featured strong versions of some of the band's stage favourites: "Vivaldi" (now complete with a vocal section and highland fling), "Back Street Luv", "Young Mother" and an extended version of "Propositions".
		Since Curved Air's demise Sonja has had lots of children (she is married to Stewart Copeland), occasionally returning to the music scene with Sonja Kristina's Escape (late seventies), she recorded solo albums in 1980 and 1992, occasional singles and had a band called Tunis.

	weeley-festival:mott the hoople and curved air
		Probably the greatest reason Curved Air are making such a big impact on the music world is that they have between them a highly unusual, not to mention unlikely, musical background.
		Drummer Florian Pilkington-Miksa was educated at Eton and went to art college for a while, and vocalist Sonja Kristina used to sing in "Hair" and turned down an offer to sing with the Strawbs just before she met the band.
		Although Curved Air's music has strong classical overtones, they are very much against the idea ot trying to fuse rock and classics.

	'Airconditioning' by Curved Air - A Review
		Curved Air formed in 1970, comprising the charismatic lead singer Sonja Kristina, Darryl Way on electric violin, Francis Monkman (later of supergroup Sky) on lead guitar and keyboards, Robert Martin on bass and the delightfully-named Florian Pilkington-Miksa on drums.
		It is interesting to note that later band line-ups included Eddie Jobson and Stewart Copeland, amongst other, less readily recognised names.

	CURVED AIR Lovechild reviews and MP3
		Not by any means the best work to be recorded under the Curved Air name, but the music was certainly deserving of its somewhat belated release.
		— Following the release of their 1972 masterpiece "Phantasmagoria" which however did not do at all well as fare as sales were concerned, Curved Air split up.The main reason was the personal and musical differences within the band.
		This line up released two albums, Air Cut in early 1973 and this one, their second album titled "Lovechild".

	Francis Monkman ... plus!
		Something about that long baroque-and-roll instrumental suggested to me that there was an implicit similarity of approach between Procol Harum and Curved Air: in fact all the compositions on their début, Air Conditioning, were harmonically substantial, all their words were out-of-the-ordinary.
		That impression of kinship was affirmed when the two bands toured together in the Seventies; and it was cemented twenty years on when Curved Air's violinist, Darryl Way, surfaced as the arranger of the two finest songs on The Symphonic Music Of Procol Harum.
		The Curved Air gig's the original line-up, but Rob Martin only joins in on Vivaldi -- the rest of the bass part (along with other 'incidental' parts) was sequenced, Florian played with the click in cans.

	Market Square Records CD Album - Sonja Kristina - Songs From The Acid Folk
		Following Curved Air's demise in late 1976 Sonja toured with her own bands and also pursued an acting career via stage plays and TV.
		In the eighties, she discovered a new hybrid of folk and psychedelic music and formed a new band called 'Sonja Kristina with Ty-Lor and Friends.' They achieved some success, not least rave reviews at the Glastonbury Festival.
		This was followed by an 'acid-folk' reworking of the aforementioned Curved Air classic, 'Back Street Luv', and some other Curved Air songs including 'Melinda(More Or Less)', 'The Purple Speed Queen' and 'Midnight Wire'.

	Curved Air: Phantasmagoria (1972) Music Reviews - UK - Hippyland
		Of course Phantasmagoria wasn't the first time Curved Air explored Vivaldi, as they explored Vivaldi on Air Conditioning (their 1970 debut) on two cuts, "Vivaldi" and "Vivaldi with Cannons".
		What's really surprising is the label Curved Air recorded for: Warner Bros., as major of a label as you get, but it's nice to see a label like them sign such an interesting band as Curved Air.
		Only because i got in to a taxi about a month ago and florian was driving it and found it interesting about his time with the band.

		Curved Air was an English band with a lot of interesting little quirks.
		It's where Eddie Jobson and Stewart Copeland both got their starts, and it's the band that came out with the first picture disk (on its debut album, "Air Conditioning" - they should have spent the time and money cleaning up the sound of the album).
		Monkman plays the theme from "Vivaldi", a piece from Air Conditioning, on the VCS3 synthesizer.
