There's not much interesting information about First Light other than the fact that it was an English concept project orchestrated by Paul Hardcastle, assisted by Derek Green.
This concept project will primarily be remembered in the musical history of the late 20th century for the powerful Single "Explain the Reasons," released in 1983.
For this reason alone, we felt compelled to dedicate this article to them.

Tracks :
1982...a first title of obvious quality, but it's clear there's still some work to be done before being able to compete with the best...
1983... well, you have to start somewhere, as they say, and let things take their course. What's certain is that this group has everything it takes to achieve great things, in any case...
1983...revisiting America's iconic 1971 hit was an extremely audacious gamble, especially in a dance format. They tried it anyway...
1983...as the group ultimately released few tracks, it makes sense to bring back into the spotlight songs that weren't officially released as Singles. Including this one...
1983...and finally came the time for their first successes, proving that patience was key. The duo's first and biggest success, proving that everything happens at the right time, as they say...
1984...a major success in dance music and a major success in a much softer style, what more could you ask for ? May it continue...
1989...unfortunately, the success was short-lived, with a disappearance from the radar for almost 5 years and a return in 1989 that went largely unnoticed...
1989...an absence that undoubtedly penalized them greatly. A shame, because they had done the hardest part in the middle of the decade...
1990...after that everyone manages their career as they see fit, but what is certain is that this long break was fatal to the group in terms of the charts...
1990... they'll continue the adventure, certainly, but more as extras than anything else. THard law of the trade, as they say...
2010...we thought the adventure would go no further, and yet here the concept-project is back almost 20 years later. And this time, in wordless mode...
2010...we're a long, long way from the 80s in terms of style and sound, that much is clear. It's hard for longtime fans to find their bearings as a result...
2010... however, there's plenty for fans of instrumental music. But that represents a rather limited audience...
2010...or even very limited. Throughout history, instrumental tracks have rarely reached the top of the charts, regardless of their quality...
