Starcastle were a really good band. Should have enjoyed more success than they did.

They were a bit of a Yes clone but throughout the years they have been more consistent in terms of material than Yes

Definitely a Yes clone to begin with. Their body of work is somewhat smaller than Yes, who are definitely the superior band, but I love the first three Starcastle albums when they did shine on brightly.

This album by England is one of my favourite prog albums, yes many influences but stunning musicianship...

Nope..

It's just that the cream rises to the top.

An awful lot of prog is self indulgent, self asbsorbed, narcissistic bollocks. The ability to structure and deliver a good song is more important than a load of random notes thrown together masquerading as "art".

Haha when Les sings he looks like he's been constipated for 5 days and finally squeezing one out.

If I want good songs I'll visit The Beatles, Kinks or Beach Boys
I love narcissistic bollocks :)

Tales from Topographic Oceans, the peak of narcissistic bollocks. Saw it live. Alan White drummed inside a pulsating crab (as you do). Just wish they had made it a triple album. A musical interpretation of the shastric scriptures iirc.

‘Nous sommes do soleil
We love when we play

Open doors we find our way
We look, we see, we smile
Surely daybreaks cross our path
And stay maybe a while

Let them run, let them chase
Let them hide between
Constant doors will open eyes
As life seems like, life seems like a
Fight, fight, fight

Maybe I'll just sing awhile
And then give you a call
Maybe I'll just say hello
And say maybe that's all’
........

Hold me my love, hold me today, call me round
Travel we say, wander we choose love tune
Lay upon me, hold me around lasting hours
We love when we play
We hear a sound and alter our returning
We drift the shadows and course our way back home
Flying home, going home

Look me my love, sentences move dancing away
We join, we receive
As our song memories long hope in away
Nous sommes do soleil
Hold me around lasting hoursyy
We love when we play
Nous sommes do soleil

Nous sommes do soleil
Nous sommes do soleil
Nous sommes do soleil
