CLEARLIGHT SYMPHONY

Created in 1975 with Cyrille Verdeaux as the Mastermind on this space symphony, Steve Hillage, Tim Blake and others accompanying him on this album he makes sounds on both 1st and 2nd movement that I found unlike anything I have ever listened to before. With the whole space rock scene it starts to become typical after a while but the Mellotron and other instruments displayed on this album gave me insight on sounds you can make and Cyrille does it dashingly so to say. I'm actually listening to the album as I write this and I say the piano that starts off the first movement is soothing then Hillage starts a rythem with his guitar that's nothing short of great. The jazz elements of this movement are great they tie the whole song together. I like the soft tenor saxophone in the background by Didier Malherbe its great. The whole symphonic space outlook is displayed perfectly on this album and it reminds me of King Crimsons style of music in a way. At the conclusion of the 1st movement a harmonious choir with piano played by cyrille that strolls you to the 2nd movement.

Again with the Piano by Verdeaux Starting off the 2nd movement with Mellotron filling the background and light strumming of guitar, the start of this movement is very spacey and makes you feel like you're drifting through space. 5 minutes into the movement Steve Hillage starts going apocalyptic with his guitar with even more piano filling the background. At about the 8 minute time stamp I start hearing sounds i have never heard before in prog listening , its unique and needs to be appreciated. As the Piano strolls into more Sci-fi elements I start to wonder why I do not have this album on Vinyl yet. with the total time being 41:17 minutes this is a space album to enjoy and it goes beyond what you hear normally.
