Historical background of the band
Sky was founded in 1978 and united musicians from diverse musical backgrounds. The group became famous for its blend of rock, jazz, and classical influences, often featuring virtuosic arrangements of well-known classical works. With their self-titled debut and its follow-up, "Sky 2," they achieved widespread popularity in Europe before "Sky 3" took their style in even more complex and atmospheric directions. The band remained active until the mid-1980s and is now considered a cult act in the crossover genre.
