   Well, I think this discussion should be placed in the "reviews discussion" thread. However I leave my comment here: What he says about Starcastle and Yes "what people do not remember is that on 1976 Yes WASN'T playing any of this music anymore" is the same thing that I was saying of Marillion and Genesis in the early 80s. But while Genesis were doing "Abacabs" the Yes were doing "Going For The One" so I disagree with that sentence.

	Do you mean this quote? "Today I remembered that USA have its moments on 70's Progressive Rock era (the only other name that came across my mind right now are the great Yezda Urfa). And I put the needle again on Starcastle first record from 1976." It does not look to me that he is saying there were no good albums that year, but that American Prog was not the most memorable throughout the 70s, although there was the occasional great release. 1976 is only referred to as the year of Starcastle's first album. Another great American prog album from 1976 is Leftoverture by Kansas.

	Just a few words, about a recent review of the first Starcastle album, by our honorable ProgShine collaborator of the Errors & Omissions Team. Just to open a friendly debate, for me, there is a big omission in the fact that he wrote “…thanks for bringing some good sounds for a year that has no great albums to remember of ”. Well if we exclude Frank Zappa’s Zoot Allure monument or RIO, it is true that in the US there was not much of interest. But for the rest of the world, it’s another story. While I do enjoy the eponymous Starcastle album a lot, I do believe though, that there is other very important album that was released in 1976. Here is a partial list (only music that I know) of equally or even more interesting, and sometimes of historically importance prog album in 1976: Alan Parsons Project - Tales of Mystery and Imagination Ange - Par les Fils de Mandrin Camel – Moonmadness Crucis - Los Delirios Del Mariscal The Enid - In the Region of The Summer Stars Finch - Beyond Expression Frank Zappa - Zoot Allures Genesis - A Trick of The Tail Goblin – Roller Harmonium - L'heptade Jack Lancaster & Robin Lumley – Marscape Jon Anderson - Olias of Sunhillow Kaipa - Inget Nytt Under Solen Klaus Schulze – Moondawn Maneige - Ni Vent...Ni Nouvelle Pollen – Pollen Return to Forever - Romantic Warrior Rush – 2112 Sloche – Stadacone Stomu Yamashta - Go - Live From Paris Tangerine Dream – Stratosfear Van Der Graaf Generator - Still Life I humbly believe there is timeless masterpieces in this list that I still enjoy very much today, but for me, it is not the case for Starcastle.
