Kewl... sometimes I think I'm the only one who ever heard of this band.
Like... excellent and complex guitar playing as well as the most awesome harmonies you've ever heard. Not to mention mixed at Trident studios so the quality is amazing.

I happened upon them by accident in my early teens. A bunch of us guys rented a motel room so we could um... smoke... and one of the guys got the major munchies and went out to find a store. Nothing was open, so he broke into a variety store, took a bunch of junk food and an 8 Track tape of Starcastle.
We ended up playing it for hours and got totally hooked.
The thing I liked was that the guitar players totally filled in constantly doing runs and stuff... so much that you forgot it was guitar.

A friend of mine thumbed a ride down to Toronto once to see them at Massey Hall... didn't have tickets but hoped we'd be able to scalp some.
Never got in though.
Next day, all the reviews had to say was that Starcaste was boring and didn't move around much on stage.
We were like "well of course they didn't move around... they were friggin playing... it's the music that was important."

The first album was great, but Fountains of Light still remains my favorite.
