Curved Air: The Second Album


My favourite cd at the moment, arrived earlier in the post costing next to nothing, ie under a fiver and it just reminds you how good they were back in 1971. Three very outstanding tracks, Young Mother, Back Street Luv and Puppets with the long, Piece of Mind not quite as good as it appears to have too many ideas going on (could have been at least three 'songs') but do like the addition of T S Elloit's 'The Wasteland into the song....
The river sweats
Oil and tar
The barges drift
With the turning tide
Red sails
Wide
To leeward, swing on the heavy spar.
The barges wash
Drifting logs
Down Greenwich reach
Past the Isle of Dogs.
