Having received a classical music education from a young age, he joined the rock band “BABYLON” in 1971 and began his career in the rock music scene in earnest. Inviting various guest musicians for each album, they released works showcasing a wide range of musical styles—including their signature lyrical phrases, classical\/symphonic arrangements, and electronic sounds—and continue to enjoy strong support from dedicated progressive rock fans to this day. Now, Clear Light’s four albums released in the early 1970s, along with their latest album released in 2014, make their debut in a new Japan-exclusive UHQCD\/paper sleeve edition!\n\nThis release was produced in 2014 to mark the 40th anniversary of the completion of their 1974 debut album. Featuring the return of Steve Hillage (g), Tim Blake (kbds), and Didier Marel (t.sax)—members of the French progressive\/psychedelic rock band Gong, who also contributed to the previous album—this ambitious project was completed by Verdot himself, who mixed the recordings after receiving them from band members living abroad.\n\nTaking the works of Monet, Van Gogh, Gauguin, and other Impressionist painters as its theme, this is a superb symphonic rock album packed with spacey and psychedelic elements that offers a glimpse into the sound and direction of early Clear Light.\n\nJapanese Edition\n*UHQCD \/ Paper Sleeve [Includes obi strip and a bilingual translation of the album liner notes by Cyril Verdo himself]\n\nCyril Verdo (keyboards)\nSteve Hillage (guitar)\nDidier Marel (saxophone)\nPaul Sears (drums, percussion)\nNeil Bettencourt (drums)\nCraig Fry (violin)\nLinda Kushma (bass)\nTim Blake (keyboards, percussion)\nChris Kovacs (keyboards)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"IAC Music Japan\/Cherry Red","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52468693336353,"sku":"4580783650556","price":1700.0,"currency_code":"PHP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/files\/4580783650556.jpg?v=1774184319","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/en-ph\/products\/4580783650556","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
