FOUNTAINS OF LIGHT

Is it an unknown Yes record? No, it's Starcastle! This record has really strong songs like the first track "Fountains", and mainly is pleasant and really well played. It's a real shame these guys are so influenced by Yes (the similarity between Terry Luttrell and Jon Anderson it's amazing) that you can hear a lack of personality all around, but you should not consider Starcastle as a Yes clone band, because the music, at the base, is also influenced by american prog bands like Kansas, and maybe when the singer is not reminding everybody the Anderson similarity, the band gives the best. Moreover the record sounds too "american" giving less thickness to the all work. In the end "Fountains of light" is a nice record played close to perfection and if you find it in the stores you should take a listening to it, but i personally think it's not essential to your collection.
