3.0 out of 5 stars Some of the Best - and the rest, July 2, 2004

This review is from: Best of Sky (Audio CD)

Sky are one of those groups with something for everyone. I've seen metallica fans get off on the pounding rock beat of "Toccatta" and orchestral enthusiasts in raptures over "Sahara". But this universal appeal comes at a price - few like everything the band has done. This album is truly representative of the group's achievements over their first 4 studio albums, and that is both its blessing and its flaw. The problem is that there are so many great tracks - no matter what your tastes - that were left out of this collection in favour of tracks that are not so brilliant. But, of course, for everyone who argues for the deletion of track "A", there will be others who insist that it's the best track on the album.... This is a satisfactory introduction to the group, but don't be fooled - whatever you like on here, there is more (and possibly better) on the source CDs. And why "Fayre", from their 5th studio album, "Cadmium", was left off, I'll never know....

John Williams, one of the greatest guitarist, leads this project band. Kevin Peek played elec. guitar in Bach's "Toccata". "Chiropodie No. 1" - Handel's Sarabande. "Vivaldi" - the powerful sound of Vivaldi's 'Four Seasons'. "Sahara" - Wonderful Notes. John Williams' guitar solo : Ballet Volta . Francis Monkman's Harpsichode Solo : Gavotte & Variations .
