Cadmium is the fifth studio album by English Australian fusion band Sky, originally released in December 1983 via Ariola Records.
Sky were an English / Australian instrumental rock group that specialised in combining a variety of musical styles, most prominently rock, classical and jazz. The group's original and best-known line-up featured classical guitarist John Williams (Australia), bass player Herbie Flowers (England), electric guitarist Kevin Peek (Australian), drummer Tristan Fry (England) and keyboard player Francis Monkman (England). Steve Gray replaced Monkman on keyboards from 1980.
This would be the last album to feature John Williams who would depart the band after the release of this album to resume his classical career. Sky 4 continued with the Sky tradition of combining original instrumental compositions together with classical-rock arrangements of classical pieces, in this case Prokofiev's "Sleigh Ride" (from the "Lieutenant Kijé Suite").
Kevin Peek’s friend Alan Tarney contributed a couple of original compositions to the band, although he didn’t play on the album.
The album cover artwork featured the sky logo set against a background of cadmium yellow.
This album is a reissue on 2LP orange coloured vinyl housed in a gatefold sleeve with bonus material, pressed in the UK via Let Them Eat Vinyl.
