Musical Innovators Eclipse Drop First Studio Album

Versatile jam-band offers something for everyone on much anticipated album

CINCINNATI, Ohio – September 29, 2007 – This is the movement. High-energy musical innovators Eclipse are set to drop their much anticipated, first studio album. The release of this album further solidifies what regional music lovers already knew- Eclipse is one of the most creative and unique sounds out right now. 

With influences ranging from Led Zeppelin to Ozomatli and Herbie Hancock, Eclipse continuously pushes traditional boundaries as it seamlessly incorporates elements of rock, funk, latin, jazz & hip-hop into their complex sound weekly at local venues.

The self-titled debut album evidently displays the trained sounds of the local CCM graduates as they cleanly transition through funky bass lines, latin-horn solos, and the positively present vocals of their dual MCs.

For more information on the new Eclipse album or to purchase online, visit the Eclipse Website.  The album is also available at Everybody’s Records located in Pleasant Ridge and Shake-it Records in Northside.  For a limited time, fans that purchase an Eclipse CD at either Everybody’s or Shake-it can enter to win FREE tickets to the Eclipse CD Release Party in October.  Visit www.eclipsemovement.com for details.  

Self Titled Eclipse Debut: Album Review

CINCINNATI, Ohio – September 13, 2007 – Dictionary.com defines the eclipse as: surpass; to make less outstanding or important by comparison.

This is exactly what style-mashers Eclipse did to the competition when dropping their self-titled debut album. Their high-energy innovative jams seamlessly pepper tastes of rock, funk, latin, jazz & hip-hop into one mouthwatering offering on this CD.

The breadth of musical ability, tight transitions, and technical excellence is far beyond your typical first album. Funky bass lines at the core set the tone for the sensory overload to come as more intricate musical offerings are layered overtop. From the Santana-esque guitar licks and barrage of Latin horns on the opener, “Mambo Hop” to the spoken word intro reminiscent of Michael Franti on the mystical hip-hop cut, “My Couch” Eclipse nails it in the myriad of genres they step into.

The band confirms what many regional music lovers already knew before they dropped this album: Eclipse is one of the most creative and unique sounds out there and with this release they have raised the bar for regional artists.
