SONG OF TIMES

As a Starcastle fan, news of a new album after so many years gave me great expectations. Now, after having listened to the new album Song Of Times for a couple of weeks I must say that I'm a little bit disappointed. Sure, the band was never the most original (often accused to be Yes-clones), but on their fist two albums the music was interesting, progressive and full of life. The new album is quite frankly a little bland , prog "light" if you like. Mind you, it has its moments like the fantastic mid section on "Babylon".
