Sky - Sky 3 (1981)

 

The third album from this band from Great Britain.

The band was a quintet with a lineup of marimba, percussion, vibraphone, drums, bass, acoustic & electric guitars, keyboards and tuba.

The band returned again and were now facing the 1980s head on. This decade were pretty barren when it comes to interesting music. Melodic music was not a commercially viable genre.

But this band soldiered on and they were surviving on the audience they got on their million selling debut album. I on the other hand never really understood this band. Something I hope will change during my reviews of their studio albums.

Sky 3 is a three quarters of an hour long album. 

The music is mostly acoustic with a blend of neo-classical music, fusion and cinematic music. 

The band's incorporation of fusion is the saving grace on this album as the rest of the material is not particularly interesting. It is downright dire, some of it.  

The result is a decent enough album. It is an unremarkable album, though.
