Midnight Wire is the fifth studio album by Curved Air and was recorded in 1975. It marked another line-up change in the band, with Darryl Way and Sonja Kristina recruiting new musicians after the end of the reunion tour marked by the "Curved Air Live" album. Kristina's friend Norma Tager, who had helped design the costumes she wore onstage from Curved Air's reunion in 1974 to their breakup in 1976,[3] contributed all the lyrics to the songs.

Background and Recording
