A little quizz for you all. Here´s two audio samples of this symphonic rockband. Do you know the name of this band?

Hmm... I've never heard these songs before. I'll throw my guess out there though. Is it Starcastle?

Thats the right answer Odyssian. How could you guess so right if you havent heard it before?

Hey, wow! That was a lucky guess on my part.

The only song I can think of by Starcastle is True to the Light, and that's what I based my choice on. My brother had that LP years ago.

Starcastle is one of my favourite bands actually. The bassplayer Gary Strater, who sadly passed away not long ago was simply stunning. Sometimes even more tasteful bass playin´ than Chris Squire, well...if you like the playing styles and the much more distinct Rickenbacker bass sound.

I actually do like that Rickenbacker sound. I also liked the sound clips you posted. It left me wanting to hear more.

Guess I'm too late for the quizz

I would have guessed Starcastle too. I've got one CD from them (the eponymous one), which is quite nice. I remember who the band was destroyed by reviews in the seventies, in which they were accuses for stealing almost everything they did from Yes. So can be said from Druid or England, but I think they did a good job. Their albums are quite good available.

Hey Bill did you mean the selftitled album? If so I didnt know it was a Rickenbacker he used, but IMO Rick´s best bassplaying is defenitely on that album especially in the tunes Upon the Rainbow (Befrost) and Hidden Moods, so maybe that Rickenbacker bass inspires bassplayers to play better eh

.

Steamingears, I will have another one coming up soon. Glad you like Starcastle´s music. The first two Starcastle albums are absolutely great, the rest is...well... :-/

Anyone who have a quizz?
