Description
Clive: It was a combination of ideas – I had decided to base the album on a short horror story by M.R. James called ‘Casting the Runes’ – some people may have seen the old 1957 film version called ‘Night of the Demon’. We were looking for an album title and John suggested ‘The Unquiet Sky’ even though he was unaware of my concept idea – as far as I was concerned, it fitted the mood I had in mind for the album
