Highly recommended to everyone who likes easy listening and doesn't mind classical influences. The other one is the above mentioned live album 'Sky Five Live' on which every member of the band is able to show his prowess.
The highlights in their discography ar certainly 'Sky2', a double album with a broad variety of songs from very funny to virtually symphonic compositions. After two more studio albums and a (excellent) live double album the band fell into oblivion. After the third album audience interest gradually declined. Grey's influence made the band sound more jazz oriented.
Unfortunately after only two albums Monkman decided to leave the outfit and he was replaced by Steve Gray. The absolute highlight of this era was a concert in Westminster Abbey in February 1981 (in fact the first ever rock concert there) which was video taped by BBC. Their unique style combined with the virtuosity of the individual members and easy accessibility of the compositions quickly gained them a huge and steady fan base. SKY is a British-Australian classic rock band formed in London in 1978 by classic guitarist John Williams (not to be confused with the American movie score composer of the same name), keyboarder Francis Monkman (of Curved Air fame), guitarist Kevin Peek, bassist Herbie Flowers and drummer Tristan Fry.
