Clearlight

Essentially French keyboardist Cyrille Verdeaux and an ever-changing set of collaborators, included in this Christian Boule and Gilbert Artman, Clearlight was being among the most well-known French symphonic progressive rock bands from the 1970s. Their substantial, occasionally psychedelic audio showed an alternative aspect to Verdeaux than his afterwards, even more new age information. Among the initial bands agreed upon to the fledgling Virgin Information in the first 1970s, Clearlight continues to be in comparison to such intensifying rings as Yes and Genesis in addition to even more experimental groupings like Gong. The very first Clearlight record, 1973’s Symphony, presents the music group at the elevation of the grandeur, pursuing from contemporary experimentalism to even more classically styled parts. For the task, Verdeaux took on many associates of Gong as collaborators. It had been afterwards re-recorded with significant amounts of brand-new materials in 1990 and released as Symphony II. Forever Blowing Bubbles premiered in 1975 and discovered Clearlight somewhat toning down the symphonic more than Symphony by adding some jazz affects. 1977’s Les Contes du Singe Fou was a cooperation with United kingdom vocalist/lyricist Ian Bellamy and was one of the group’s even more psychedelic functions. Clearlight Visions (1978) included sitars and tablas and directed just how toward Verdeaux’s Indian-influenced single career.In THE HANDS, a remake of Les Contes du Singe Fou with vocalist/keyboardist Gunnar Amundson, premiered in 1996.
