Sky - Vol. 1 (Classic 80s Instrumental Group) RARE Album!

Originally Released: May 1979 Peak position in UK charts: 2 (June 1979) This is the remastered version of this classic album. Short Review: A ground-breaking release for its time (prog rock at the tail end of the punk boom?), this album showed what five musicians who were virtuosos of their instruments could do together. The highlights are without a doubt Francis Monkman's two compositions, Cannonball and the five-movement abolsutely stunning Where Opposites Meet. This really was a meeting of styles and approaches to music-making. Carillon set the trend for Sky to include a straight, simple tune on each album, played without any histrionics, and Eric Satie's Gymnopedie paved the ground for further classical arrangements, not all as calm as this one! Dies Irae, which most fans heard for the first time when the previously (little-sold) single was included on the CD release ten years later, is further indication of Francis Monkman's unique compositional and arranging talents for this particular ensemble. Band Members: Tristan Fry drum kit & percussion Kevin Peek acoustic & electric guitars Francis Monkman piano, synths & harpsichord Herbie Flowers electric & string bass John Williams acoustic guitars Ripped using Nero Quality: 192kbps 44khz Stereo Very rare album to find on p2p or torrent sites so I thought id rip the CD I have and share it with you all. Hope it makes some people happy. Enjoy! :)
