p:abstract
  • Clearlight are a French progressive rock band from the 1970s, although their best known work was produced in England, and released by a major British record company. While progressive rock is an appropriate overall genre for the band, much of their work delves into other genres including psychedelic music, jam band music, symphonic rock, space rock, jazz fusion, and new age music."Clearlight" did not become the group's name until their third album; their first was Clearlight Symphony which is an album with a title but no artist name. Before choosing the name Clearlight they were briefly called Delired Cameleon Family. This being an English language name for a French group, it contains, perhaps unintentionally, two words that do not exist in the English language: delired was intended to represent the adjective form of delirium ("delirious" would have been correct), and cameleon is a mis-spelling of the lizard species chameleon . The group's large and continually changing membership featured a mix of French and British musicians, including pianist and synthesist Cyrille Verdeaux who is regarded as its leader, Gilbert Artman of Lard Free and Urban Sax, and several members of Gong: Tim Blake, Steve Hillage and Didier Malherbe. Violinists Jorge Pinchevsky, David Cross of King Crimson, and Didier Lockwood of Magma were also members at various times. (en)
