Clearlight Symphony/Forever Blowing Bubbles This album followed the heady
success of Symphony by charting into new territory. Forever Blowing Bubbles is
also based on keyboardist Cyrille Verdeaux's piano and synthesizers but
incorporates a more cohesive group sound featuring bassist/vocalist Joel
Duregenot (ex-Zao), violinist David Cross (King Crimson) & guitarist/flutist
Jean Claude d'Agostini (Magic Circus). Shorter songs with more variety are
featured with pronounced synthesizer textures and a strong symphonic/psychedelic
ambiance. Long a favorite of certain Clearlight fans, Bubbles was remastered to
provide the best sound quality possible. In addition to the original tracks,
this CD also boasts the presence of three bonus tracks remixed in 2000 from the
original 16 track master tape. "Sweet Absinthe" was recorded for the original
sessions but left off the LP because of its length. Featuring the triple tracked
guitar artistry of Christian Boule along with Verdeaux's inventive keyboards and
tuned drums with Gilbert Artman, this track transports the listener straight
into the next level. The song "Without Words" was remixed to bring out the
symphonic qualties of the keyboards, in particular the multliple layers of
Mellotron that were obscured on the original mix. "Flute Aquatique" is a remix
of "Jungle Bubbles" but with Francois Jeanneau's flute and percussion taking
center stage creating a piece that would not be out of place at any world music
festival. soundbite - <>
