AIRBORNE

The same line-up is in charge of this album, and even if this work can't be considered as a bad one, it can barely hold the comparison with their early works. Here and there, some fine music like the poetic and charming ''Broken Lady'' or like the upbeat and fine ''Juno''.

It's also difficult to face the evolution of Sonja's voice. I was really admiring her brilliant style in the early days of the band, but when I listen to the poor ''Touch Of Tequila'', I can only be totally disappointed.

To identify the best track here is a very easy task. I guess that everyone would declare that ''Moonshine'' is the one. It is by far the most elaborate, complex, poignant and in one word the only true prog song available on this offering. It is also the longest studio track of ''Curved Air'' (if my memory serves me right). Since it is good for about thirty per cent of the album, this song is more than welcome and raises quite substantially the level of this work.

The worse is being reached with the dreadful ''Hot & Bothered'', and even if ''Dazed'' is not a bad song, the mellowish mood is just too much for my ears.

In all, it is an album which is best avoided. One very good song and that's it. Two stars.
