These TWO separate albums, packaged together  are a must for fans of the legendary Prog band and instrumental  improvisational music!   <!--more-->  <\/div>\n<div id=\"yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1479793163082_15855\">This  instrumental double CD set is the only Curved Air release not to  feature lead singer Sonja Kristina, but has been released with her full  support and blessing.<\/div>\n<div id=\"yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1479793163082_15858\">The  line-up on \u201cCurved Space\u201d, which was previously released as Francis  Monkman&#8217;s \u201cJam\u201d but now features two previously unreleased bonus tracks,  includes Francis Monkman (guitar),\u00a0Florian Pilkington-Miksa (drums) and  Rob Martin (bass).<\/div>\n<div id=\"yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1479793163082_15863\">Francis Monkman commented \u201cI&#8217;m  pleased that the \u2018Jam CD\u2019 has been transmuted into a Curved Space  release. An entirely collaborative effort, I was never keen for it to be  released in the guise of a solo album, but there seemed to be no viable  alternative at the time. Listening to it now, it seems to me to sound  as fresh as ever &#8211; indeed it was an ideal for some bands in the 1960&#8217;s  to come as close as possible to jamming all the time, precisely because  the process of raw discovery holds elements that simply cannot be  reproduced when material has been subjected to rehearsal (usually after  dissection into some kind of song format).\u201d<\/div>\n<div>The line-up on  \u201cInfinity\u201d, which are all NEW 2016 STUDIO RECORDINGS includes Florian  Pilkington-Miksa (drums), Kirby Gregory (guitar) and Robert Norton  (keys).<\/div>\n<div id=\"yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1479793163082_15866\">Robert Norton said of Infinity \u201cAt  times we found it hard to believe these compositions were created  entirely in the moment and were genuinely surprised and inspired by what  emerged from them. The name Infinity encapsulates the spirit of freedom  with which the three of us approached the making of this album and the  limitless possibilities of creating music in the moment.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>Track listing:<\/div>\n<div>DISC ONE: CURVED SPACE<\/div>\n<div>1.
