Running 1:48, this instrumental opens the Eye In The Sky album, leading into the title track.
The main instrument on this track is a clavinet, a kind of electronic keyboard Stevie Wonder used on "Superstition." Parsons used a Fairlight CMI sampler to create a loop of the clavinet that became the bedrock of "Sirius."
Sirius is the brightest star in the night sky. When asked by Songfacts how he chose the title, Alan Parsons replied: "It relates to the star in the sky, which I felt was spacey and planetary, so we just chose it."
