The Wildcats began recording "Taken by the Sky" at Four Star Studios in the beginning of 2003. Released in June of 2004, this is the fourth album the group has produced. The album features a number of the most recent additions to the repetoire, and several old favorites as well, including the signature "Angel Eyes". It ends with the bonus "Kitty Techno", an original work originally written for freshman week arches that quickly became a Wildcat tradition. From the classic rock of "Rhiannon" (from which the title of the cd was taken) to the jazz standards of "Mood Indigo" to the country "There Is No Arizona", "Taken by the Sky" shows off the incredible diversity of the Wildcats' repetoire.
