Robert Sheckley originally released his science fiction tale
In a Land of Clear Colours as a limited edition book/CD package
(1000 copies) in 1979. Peter Sinfield narrates with Brian Eno
contributing sporadic atmospherics and brief synthesizer interludes.
...
The disc is divided into 12 untitled tracks on which Sinfield
presents the story, which is actually more like a series of vignettes,
in his distinctive British accent. A real curio, Clear Colours
concerns an earthling who has been deposited, via space pod,
on an uncharted planet suspected of containing lifeforms.
Upon examination, he encounters the nonhuman forms, is able
to communicate with them and, realizing he will never be rescued,
quickly adapts to his new surroundings. He becomes friends with
these creatures, even to the extent of obtaining a lover, and
acclimates quite comfortably. Some standout episodes include
those of hunting, sexual practices, drug use and drug experiences,
and metamorphosis.
