Curved Air

Curved Air, formed in 1970 by violinist Darryl Way, gained fame in Britain's prog scene with albums like *Air Conditioning* and hits like "Back Street Love." Known for blending rock with classical influences, they featured talents like Sonja Kristina and collaborated with names like Eddie Jobson. Despite early success and releases like *Phantasmagoria*, internal disputes led to lineup changes. Members like Stewart Copeland found later success with The Police.
