Just before the massive « Forever blowing bubbles », Clearlight proved that they are in
the « cosmic » course with this « trippy » intersideral/ symph rock album called « Delired
Cameleon family ». Released in 1974 as the soundtrack of Pierre Clementi's « visa de
censure », the music is the synthesis of piano's technical, epic scales, psychedelic wha wha
guitar sounds and electronic « cosmic », molecular machines arrangements. The opening
track is an "eastern" journey, starting with a deep rhythmical, trance atmosphere including
tabla /sitar combined with spacey rock guitar solos, electronic voices and
manipulations. "Weird Caravan" is a sad, melancholic piece for the piano with atmospheric
human voices. Very beautiful and ethereal. Unfortunately, the wonderful music which
started the album immediately disappears with the sloppy, ridiculous pop, pseudo romantic
song "la fin du début". "Le bouf" is a dynamic jazzy tune with technical guitar/soprano
sax duets. However the song suffers from a lack of feeling, going on without any
directions. There's a good "acid" flavor on this composition. "Ananta" represents the best
tune with the opening. A freaky, crazy psychedelic dance mixing piano/ Sax/ guitar solos.
This tune slowly grows in you until the end of the album.
