Clear is an album by American experimental artist James Ferraro, released in 2008 on New Age Tapes. It was reissued in 2009 on Holy Mountain along with Ferraro's Discovery LP.[1]

Background

Clear is a series of lo-fi tape recordings about the Nirvana state involved in the beliefs of Scientology.[2] Learning about Scientology's "weird" media presence and its "tabloid culture surrounding" it, Ferraro felt this was like "modern spirituality," and with Clear, he wanted to focus on a spirituality that was modern in terms of being "current, digital, and global."[2]

Describing how the tracks on the album were recorded, Ferraro said "it was all recorded on tape, so it was lo-fidelity. But when I was making or playing this music, it was all pristine digital New Age landscapes. So yeah, really, it was just a soundtrack to Clear – Scientology’s heaven."[2]
