“The Juganet is a circle. The circle is a machine. The machine is a cross-over point. The point is a paramagnetic intersection. That is where I must be. Not here.” An eerie, unsettling benchmark for wyrd television in the 1970s, Sky was created by Doctor Who writers Bob Baker and Dave Martin. The series is widely acknowledged as one of several outstanding children’s dramas produced by HTV alongside Children Of The Stones, King Of The Castle and Into The Labyrinth. 

Combining ecological fable with science fiction and fantasy, Sky is an ethereal alien who materialises on Earth and soon realises he’s landed in the wrong time zone. He must seek out the Juganet, an ancient portal that will send him to the correct temporal destination. With the help of young tearaway Arby Venner, his sister June and friend Roy he battles Earth’s immune system which is attempting to destroy Sky via the sinister human manifestation of Goodchild.

"a sort of rurally set The Man Who Fell To earth...perfectly captures a sense of 1970s grime and the anti-style of a country gone to seed" - A Year In The Country 

A brooding atmosphere is sustained across Sky's seven episodes, aided by Eric Wetherell's stark score. Featuring harpsichord, glockenspiel, timpani, cello and primitive electronics, the music is tense and atonal, verging on experimental.

Transferred from the composer's own master tapes, Buried Treasure is thrilled to present the isolated music to Sky on a ten inch, transparent, ice blue vinyl LP. The album features 26 cues including unused and alternative takes. And any self-respecting HTV related release just wouldn't be complete without the iconic Waterfall ident, composed by Johnny Johnston with electronic sounds by John Baker of the BBC Radiophonic Workshop.
