Curved Air - Retrospective - The Anthology 1970-2009 (2CD) [ProgRock ] @320


Today they're known for giving Police drummer Stewart Copeland his start, but Curved Air emerged in the early 1970s as one of England's most distinctive prog-rock bands, led by singer Sonja Kristina, who was promoted as something of a sex symbol at the time. As heard on this career-spanning, two-disc set, their music combined classical and rock flavors, with Darryl Way's violin adding a signature sound, but there was also a bit of a Jefferson Airplane tinge to some of their work that helped set them apart from their peers.

    All the 28 songs are not in mono.
    They're in Joint Stereo, the best option quality for LAME MP3 encoder.
    Then, check your sources.

    Hi
    In Audacity (a tool which allows to see sonic spectrum of the tracks)a comment says " in mono" ? Perhaps, it' s a mistake because it cannot read exactly the format...

    Sorry, and still thank you for this great post !
