Customer Reviews of Airborne: A Sentimental Journey
Sonja--still sublime ! This is not Curved Air's best disc, but it certainly deserved more respect, and a better fate on the charts, when first released. The band went through various personnel changes--several fine musicians came and went--but, let's face it, most people who were, and are, Curved Air fans are people like me who enjoy the artistry and unique voice of Sonja Kristina !
There is something mystical and dream-like about her singing, and ( for me ) the outstanding tracks here, " Broken Lady", "Juno" and the epic " Moonshine " are a tribute to Sonja's vocal talent.
The bonus track here is "Baby Please Don't Go", the old blues standard that is fun, but not really suited to Curved Air--Them featuring Van Morrison had the last word on this one !
On the whole though, if you are unfamiliar with the band, this disc should not be your first choice--but if you are hooked on Curved Air, and Ms. Kristina, you will find much to enjoy.
Once a fan, always a fan
Being slightly disappointed by "Lovechild" and "Second album", I wondered if I should buy another Curved Air record. Finally, I decided to get this one. Well, I have to say that this is a very good album, equally fine as their debut "Air conditioning". "Airborne" continues with the jazz-rock of "Midnight wire", but on a more melodic and less pretentious note. The playing of the band (once again featuring drummer Stewart Copeland who also co-wrote some songs) is tighter and more engaged. Without getting trite, the music flows like a well-oiled machine. The delicate pop song "Desiree" leaves you wallking on air for the rest of the day. Other standout tracks are "Kids to blame", "Hot and bothered", and "Baby please..", but everything here is good, even the 11-minute megawork "Moonshine". Unfortunately, this album failed to chart and Curved Air soon disbanded after its release.
