3 stars On this, their second album, Starcastle expanded their sound. By this I mean they went beyond using blatant Yes imitations to having their keyboardist, Herb Schildt, add copying Styx keyboards to his repertoire. Either that or he realized that he couldn't sound like Wakeman.

That said, these are really good Yes imitations. They sound like tracks left off of Yes albums, with vocal harmonies that resemble the first two albums. As a Yes fan, I like these albums a lot, but have to pull some points away for lack of originality. But I'd rather listen to this Yes wannabe than the later version, World Trade.
