Light Year (USA) for Fusion/Cant/RIO/Ecl

I'm returning from oblivion after passed pediatrics exam (I'm on medical studies btw)...

...and I can't resist proposing this great thing with alienish jazz-rock/RIO/Canterbury elements, tons of vibraptone, heavy guitar and charizmatic hard lead female personality and nice piano.

(another band with rather heavy style and women on vocals is Fusion Orchestra - only here everything is much more jazzy)

Also long fragment on the second side is very dreamy and ends with refreshing and growing percussion/vibraphone sequence at 42'00 (spoiler!) - there are also many more great fragments.

I think the music is 100% diverse prog rock thing (and one from the better ones) so should be here with no dilution.

Cornelius Williams (piano), Zak McGrath (drums), Randy Sellgren (guitar), John Yu (bass), Doug Johnson (percussion, marimba, bells, whistle), Sharon Pucci (vocals)

...and why children? because children are evil !

"How can I be safe when this beings from another world call me..."

repeatedly suggested in recent years, it's quite a mystery, this band should be part of the archives

and this can be seen most clearly in health matters, so little minuses can be bearable  ...I hope so

back to the Light Year - oh it could be great to to discover more of their music!

at a first listen I think they deerve a place here but I can't say in which chart. Not Avant, mekthinks, and I think I understand why JR/F didn't wat them. The operatic vocalst may sound a bit zeuhl sometimes, but some passages remind me to Albedo 0.39 by Vangelis. Eclectic maybe?
