Fountains of Light by Starcastle [Audio CD]

Description: Performer Notes: Starcastle includes: Terry Luttrell (vocals).Listening to this album is always a strange experience for any Yes fan. Clearly Starcastle are following Yes. But did Yes then follow Starcastle? Probably not...but released a year before Yes' Tormato, this album's thin synth sound and electric timbre seem to foretell Yes' fate, even as it mimics the polyrhythms and vocal phrasings of Yes from years gone by. Still, the album has its own charms, largely due to the tight unison work of the rhythm section: Stephen Tasster's cascading tom fills in "Fountains" and Gary Strater's supple bass behind the delicate opening of "Portraits" are both marvelous. Herb Schildt's synth sounds, on the other hand, haven't always aged well. Still, he leads the band into some rousing instrumentals in the latter halves of "True to the Light" and "Diamond Song." ~ Paul Collins Professional Reviews: Record Collector (magazine) (p.99) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "'True To The Light' rocks in a Rush-y way and 'Diamond Song' closes in chirpy fashion."
