It's a shame noone ever mentions this wonderful band that hit the scene
it the late 70's. Sky was full of virtuosos, including John Williams,
Francis Monkman, Herbie Flowers, Kevin Peek, and Tristan Fry (later on,
other members joined, as Monkman left and did more library music and
soundtracks).

Sky's music is a blend of classical and rock, with no orchestral
instruments (i.e. strings, etc...). I only have the first and second
albums so far, but am getting the fourth one soon. I really enjoyt their albums, and
while I know it's not for everyone, they sure are worth a listen (I
plan on doing reviews soon).

Are there any other fans here?
