Curved Air - Easy (Air Cut/1973)

[theesbband]

Air Cut was a fantastic album, and Mike Wedgwood's contribution is always understated. He sings brilliantly on this track - hear his last note - and his 2-3-2 is a great rocking song. He's also my best friend so I am biased! Sonja always sings so well, no emoting, vibraton, no screwing up of face like they feel they have to nowadays. She's also a lovely girl. And as for the 17 year old Eddie Jobson... well, there!

God knows why, but, this song reminds me of Day Of The Triffids!

[CuteCatFaith]

This is a vinyl record I paid for when it came out and I have never been able to get anyone to agree how good it is. So, I just have it for myself. This is a sad song about single parenthood and separation. It made me never reproduce, and I am glad. Greetings from France via the USA.

[borgduck]

@CuteCatFaith My Mum is French & lives in America!

[CuteCatFaith]

@borgduck Neat, I hope she is okay!

[borgduck]

@CuteCatFaith Thanks! I'll say bonjour if she calls me from Vegas, tonight!

[CuteCatFaith]

@borgduck I am in Saint-Denis outside Paris, she might say, oh là, le 93! xo

[borgduck]

@CuteCatFaith Je regret. I thought you lived in America. I've literally just finished talking to my Maman just now.

[CuteCatFaith]

@borgduck I'm American but had to move to France to get healthcare. 

[borgduck]

@CuteCatFaith Yes. I can understand that!!

[CuteCatFaith]

@borgduck I just had a nice week in France on vacation and have some clips I am posting on my two channels here and also on Dailymotion. xo

[MrBuckwilliam]

@CuteCatFaith i agree with you... and this song is my favorite track

[CuteCatFaith]

@MrBuckwilliam It's just fantastic. The whole album is brilliant.

I'm a 7 year old music fan who refuses to listen to anything record post 1970. In my opinion, the musical heights have have already been reached and anybody trying to do anything else is wasting their time. vote me up for being a jumped up little shit who thinks that listening to my fathers music makes me superior to my peers.

I AM 24 AND TODAYS MUSIC SUCK'S

...I'm tumbling like Alice, down the tunnels of my mind....

Good musical example from the genre and time. Excellent lyrics with good studio work. Some of the key chord sequences, melodies and sound mixtures transcend the genre and will work anywhere at any time.

[tapnkim]

Tip Top stuffage, can't wait to see them again!

[TheBitterSweetgr]

I love this band...I love HER voice...aethereal....to say the least

[smudgemouse]

Regardless of how our bodies work (or not), our spirits are free to soar and love, protect, support and inspire. Bless you tfs964

[tfs964]

Dedicated to those who are not with us now , but brought so much pleasure to my life . Cally, Butchie ( deceased ) Linda my young and beautiful bride of the time . Why could it not have been a useless paraplegic like me and not them ?

@tfs964

[TheEDZEPPELINBAND]

@tfs964 ,I too often think about those who are not with us,Allen Collins from Lynyrd Skynyrd was a friend of mine-also paraplegic, you are a fan- we attention-whore musicians need that more than anything-and therefore far from useless -

[MrBuckwilliam]

EFFIN AWESOME :)

[miepdetruus]

some years ago i had a vinyl in my hands of them, can't remember which one it was, but ionly knew 1 song of them, so i didn't buy it, imagine how i feel now.......

[doucesscaress]

It's one of my favorite tracks of Air cut !

Mersi fratii Gafencu Misu si Dan din Lugoj Romania ;) !

[Meffi88]

joho and a bottle of rum

[jakoditi]

i'm the lucky owner of this record (only one in belgium i guess)

[trumpetlegs]

@jakoditi Not so! Tintin has a copy! Of course, he's quite old now... less the boy reporter than the reactionary conservative- read "Tintin and the influx of bloody foreigners coming over here, stealing our jobs..." He lost his way after the Captain died. AIDS they say.

[MrBuckwilliam]

sonya's voice i so sweet. this is my favorite curved air song...

[wigginsdesign]

crved Air in their heydey were and are so so underrated . Their work was so os amazing and unique

[baldybrist]

This is "easily" the best track on their most underrated album, superb.

[Ursamare]

Beauty.

[michaelerns]

Another great song - nearly as good as "Elfin Boy"- from my favourite record "Air Cut" from Curved Air!

[vitellozzo979]

[beerstheone]

Great to hear this track after so many years. Great song; brilliant band.

[Circuit7Active]

Great song from my favorite Curved Air album. Thanks for posting

[trotskyist5]

great band havnt heard this song 4 years

[glfgecko]

This was indeed from Curved Air's 4th album and Darryl wasn't on it(KinoEye is right), so Mr.Dandrum (You're all wrong ??) he was only on the 3 first albums, Curved Air is reforming and giving concerts this summer

[RGCorris]

Darryl Way was not on the 4th album Aircut from which this is taken but he was on all the subsequent original albums having rejoined for the tour that was recorded as "Curved Air Live".

This line-up was Sonja Kristina (vocals), Mike Wedgwood (bass,vocals), Eddie Jobson (violin,keyboards) Kirby Gregory (guitar), Jim Russell (drums). This line-up also recorded tracks which were issued years later as "Lovechild".

[wigginsdesign]

Great!! Where is all this Curved coming from now!!!! They were an ncredible band. I am still so bitter that PROGBANDS like Curved are still lost amongst the popular culture. Sonja is still making great music in London. Check her myspace page

[ebuyuoy61]

Last time I heard this was about 34 years ago. Great band. Great memories and thank you big time to whoever posted the video and to the band themselves. It gave me even more pleasure to hear it now than it did then. Thanks guys.

[Dandrum]

Darryl Way was a founding member of Curved Air, and appeared on their first four albums, including Air Conditioning. plus a reunion album in 1990. He does not play on "Air Cut." Eddie Jobson plays violin and keys. Air Cut was record well into the band's career, they were not new,and there were numerous personnel changes. See their website for details. You're all wrong!!

[scoobiesnacksuk]

Not sure about the comment about this being from the album DW was not on....he was only on the first album, called Air Conditioning!!! By the time Second Album had come out he was gone....this track is from their fourth album!

[scoobiesnacksuk]

I gotta admit that I was well wrong here...respect to ya KinoEye...ya got it right about DW

[TheKinoEye]

This song is from the Curved Air album that Darryl Way was not on. I think most of the group was new at this point also. Just shows the strong spirit of Curved Air and of course the staying power of S.K.

Easy. Easy, does it. Now that was easy!
