I saw Starcastle open for Gary Wright in Platteville WI in 78 or so.  Have the crowd left when Starcastle finished.  I wish I had...
 
Gary Strater's Alembic was the second one I saw in person (the first belonged to John Wallace with Harry Chapin).
 
Strater dies of liver cancer in 2004.
 
When I was at Iowa State I played with the brother of the drummer (Stephen Tassler, his brother Mike played trumpet).

[yggdrasil]

>A Gene Clark fan! Cool!  
I don't think I've heard No Other. But I just read a review of it and it sounds like a really interesting album.
 
Hey Dave-
 
No Other is likely the summit of the  Gene Clark albums.
This Mortal Coil did some interesting takes on a couple of the cuts.
I also like his recordings with Carla Olson - not long before he died.
 
+1 on the Kate Bush (the Dreaming or Hounds of Love) & Peter Gabriel (#1,2 & 3), BTW

FMM, Gary Strater died? how did you find out? He was in a band that opened for my band whenever we played the Canopy Theater in Champaign, Ill. He had told me about his days w/Starcastle and we spoke about Alembics(and when the preamps were about $400.00 to replace in the '70's) and how much of a Ric head he was, as he told me he was a huge Chris Squire fan. At the time he was playing a custom 5 string w/Bartolini's (sounded great!)through a Mesa 400 Plus amp. This is nuts, because his band last opened for us around '04 and he looked so healthy I could not tell if anything was wrong. He was a really nice guy and a great player R.I.P. Gary.
