Sky

I wan't keen on Sky when I first heard them, mainly because my parents bought Sky 2...

However, I found their first 4 LPs in spanking new condition in a second hand vinyl shop a few weeks agi and gave them a quick spin.

The quality deteriorates as the album number increments - the first is pretty reasonable in places, but the second starts to get painful. I particularly hate their version of Bach's "Toccata in D Minor", but then I have a natural aversion to hearing that piece used in conjunction with rock anyway, just like I do with "O Fortuna" from "Carmina Burana"... /shudder.

It's true that all the musicians are phenomenally talented, but none really know how to rock.


The best example of mixing Rock and Classical is Andrew Lloyd Webber's "Variations".

Herbie Flowers plays on that too...
