SKY

This is what it is all about. Progressive rock. A tastefull combination of classical music and rock&roll, yes? Well not quite. Progressive rock, atleast to me, is rock with same attitude to treat a musical thema as is in classical compositions. A suitable variation of sonata form, kinda. This Sky is a effort to combine the two musics in a way that you take a classical composition and arrange it to a rock band. Well all classical music is not progressive or atleast not very progressive. And the chosen compositions are not among the best choices.

Anyway this is enjoyable music. Extremely skillfull and experienced musicians. Good arrangements. Interesting music. There were moments when I was so pleased that I thought of to give a five. But then I started to analyze the music more carefully. This is no masterpiece but is s is important album? This was not the first effort, to play classical with a rock band. The Nice didi it over 10 years earlier and many other as well. Music flows well and is comlex enough to keep your interest. Four stars. But as prog? Good but not essential.
