Clearlight Symphony, instead, is a much more author-controled work, where all the musicians adapt themselves to Verdeaux\u2019s circular, systematic composition. The alleged and collected improvisations, dissonances and atonalities (superb Boul\u00e9), the rhythmic tension of Artman\u2019s enigmatic, Heldonian drumming, Blake\u2019s environmental VCS3 modulations, Hillage\u2019s content cosmicism, Verdeaux\u2019s crescendos and counterpoints\u2026 Plus echoes of D\u00e9bussy, Terry Riley, Soft Machine, Magma, and why not, the aforementioned Tubular Bells. In short, a work of honesty, an album of its time.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;In what refers to its musical content, Clearlight Symphony is a completely opposed concept to that of the other project in which Verdeaux was involved at the time: the collective album Delired Chameleon Family (also reissued recently on Wah Wah Records), a brilliant psychedelic dive into the French underground of the seventies.
