'Nouveau Calls' is the 14th album by Rock band Wishbone Ash. In 1987, IRS Records founder and original Wishbone manager Miles Copeland III began a record label entitled "No Speak", which featured all instrumental music. For the first time in 14 years, Andy Powell and Steve Upton joined forces with Martin Turner and Ted Turner. Fans were beyond elated to hear that the original Wishbone Ash was back in action, however, reactions were mixed because there were no vocals on the new album. Shedding both vocals and pseudo-heaviness, the original quartet is playing in well thought-out compositions with of course the twin lead guitars of Ted Turner & Andy Powell. Today, these tunes still come out crisp and invigorating. The title 'Nouveau Calls' is a pun on 'No Vocals'.

This concept album as the name suggests, is an album dedicated to the skies and learning how to master the art of flying. It stands up to anything Alan Parsons did earlier under the 'Project' moniker. It has a nice laidbacksound with lots of interesting layers. Great to listen to on a good set of speakers or headphones ."On Air" was the second album by Alan Parsons (without the "Project"). It is a somewhat underrated concept album on the theme of flight and the history of aviation, from the hot air balloons on the cover picture through to space travel. 10CCs Eric Stewart takes lead vocals for the soft ballad "Blown By The Wind", and the two "Blue Blue Sky" tracks which bookend the album.
