Trzeci album grupy ukazał się w 1972r. Powstawał w okresie sporego
zamieszania w jej szeregach i w ogniu dyskusji dotyczących przyszłego
kierunku muzycznego. Nie odbiło się to jednak na jego jakości, a całość
potwierdziła, że Curved Air należą do grona najwybitniejszych
przedstawicieli rocka progresywnego. Charakterystyczny wokal Sonji
Kristiny wybija się na plan pierwszy w jej kompozycjach "Marie
Antoinette" i "Melinda (More Or Less)". W nagraniach zespół wspomogło
znakomite grono zaproszonych muzyków.
