A Rainbow In Curved Air is one of the landmark recordings of electronic and minimalist music, originally released in 1969. Terry Riley used extensive overdubbing to perform every instrument on the title piece, creating a colourful, psychedelic and constantly shifting composition built around three evolving movements.

The B‑side, Poppy Nogood And The Phantom Band, contrasts the title track with looping saxophone patterns and a dream‑like, meditative atmosphere.
The album has influenced generations of electronic and experimental musicians, inspiring artists from Mike Oldfield to Brian Eno, and remains a cornerstone of avant‑garde music.
This edition from Music On Vinyl is pressed on 180‑gram audiophile translucent yellow vinyl, limited to 750 individually numbered copies.
