About this album

Reach For The Sky highlights Apollo 100’s playful fusion of classical themes, pop melody and easy-listening sheen. By the late 1970s, the group’s formula had become a recognisable crossover sound: bold arrangements, brisk rhythms and familiar tunes turned into upbeat instrumental set-pieces. Drawing on pieces such as William Tell, Can Can and Grand March Aida, the compilation reflects the band’s knack for making concert hall material feel immediate and radio-friendly. It also captures the era when novelty-instrumental albums could sit comfortably between light classical, pop and family entertainment, giving Apollo 100 a distinct place in British crossover music.
