Reach For The Sky is an LP by Apollo 100 from 1979 released on the Endeavour Records label.
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.
