Violeta de Outono
Brazilian progressive rock band
Violeta de Outono (Portuguese for Autumn Violet) is a Brazilian psychedelic/progressive rock band from São Paulo. Heavily influenced by The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin and Gong, they were originally a post-punk band with some psychedelic elements intertwined, but would gradually drop their post-punk influences and add more prog elements to their sonority as time went by.
The band underwent numerous changes in its line-up since its inception; the only founding member remaining today is vocalist/guitarist Fabio Golfetti.
History.
Fabio Golfetti founded Violeta de Outono in 1985 alongside Cláudio Souza; both had just parted ways with pioneering New Romantic band Zero. They would later be joined by Angelo Pastorello, and with this line-up they released a demo tape, "Memories", in the same year. The tape got the attention of independent record label Wop-Bop Records, that released their first recording, the extended play "Reflexos da Noite", in 1986.
In 1987, Violeta de Outono's eponymous debut was released through RCA Records. It was very well-received; particular praise went to their cover of The Beatles' song "Tomorrow Never Knows".
In 1988 they released a four-track EP called "The Early Years", containing cover versions of The Rolling Stones' "Citadel", Pink Floyd's "Interstellar Overdrive", The Beatles' "Within You Without You" and Gong's "Blues for Findlay". Those recordings trace to as far as 1985–1986. In the next year, their second studio album, "Em Toda Parte", was released by Ariola Records. Beginning with this album, Violeta de Outono would drop their previous post-punk instrumentation, heading towards a more progressive and experimental vein.
In 1990, Cláudio Souza left the band, and was replaced by Cláudio Fontes (Souza would return to the band in 1993 though). From 1993 to 1995, Violeta de Outono entered a short hiatus period; they returned to active with a live album, "Eclipse", and their third full-length, "Mulher na Montanha", that began to be recorded in 1995 but would be released only in 1999. In 2000, they would release their second live album, "Live at Rio ArtRock Festival '97", a recording of their performance at the in Rio de Janeiro in 1997. (A DVD containing the footage of their performance at the festival would be released 15 years later.) During Violeta de Outono's hiatus, Golfetti released three albums with The Invisible Opera Company of Tibet (Tropical Version Brazil), a side project he formed in 1988; however, the project was not as successful and memorable as Violeta de Outono itself and would come to an end in 1995, only to return in 2010.
Also in 2000, Violeta de Outono changed its line-up almost completely, with Gregor Izidro replacing Cláudio Souza and Sandro Garcia replacing Pastorello. However, they would return for the recording of the band's fourth studio album in 2003, "Ilhas", that was released in 2005.
"Violeta de Outono & Orquestra", their first video release, came out in 2006, recorded during a performance in São Paulo two years prior, with the special participation of the USP Symphonic Orchestra. In the same year, Pastorello left the band and was replaced by Gabriel Costa, while new member Fernando Cardoso assumed the position of keyboardist. With this line-up they released their fifth full-length album (and seventh studio release overall), "Volume 7", in 2007.
In 2009, Cláudio Souza left Violeta de Outono for the third time, but beforehand they recorded another video release, "", in which they covered songs by Pink Floyd and Syd Barrett live, and also played their first studio album in its entirety in a show which took place in the Theatro Municipal in São Paulo. Souza was replaced by Fred Barley – however, Barley left the band in 2011 in order to join O Terço, and was replaced by José Luiz Dinola (former A Chave do Sol member); Violeta de Outono's line-up remains unchanged ever since.
Their sixth full-length album, "Espectro", was released in 2012.
On September 19, 2016, the band announced that they began work on their seventh studio album, "Spaces", which was eventually released on October 14, 2016.

Eclipse (band)
Swedish rock band
Eclipse is a Swedish hard rock band from Stockholm, formed in 1999. The band's current lineup consists of vocalist Erik Mårtensson, guitarist Magnus Henriksson, drummer Philip Crusner, and bassist Victor Crusner.
History.
The band was formed in 1999 in Stockholm by singer/guitarist/bassist Erik Mårtensson and drummer/keyboardist Anders Berlin. Together with guitarist Magnus Henriksson they received a record deal with English label Z Records. The band's debut album, "The Truth and a Little More" was released in 2001.
Eclipse later received a contract with the Italian label Frontiers Records and released the album "Second To None" in April 2004. In 2008, they released the album "Are You Ready to Rock". Erik Mårtensson then wrote most of the song material for the side project WET which consisted of members from Work of Art (W), Eclipse (E) and Talisman (T). Their self-titled debut was released in 2009 and became famous in the genre of melodic hard rock and the AOR radio format.
In 2012, they released the album "Bleed & Scream". The title track was released as a single and also became the band's first official video. The album entered Sverigetopplistan at number-44.
The band released their fifth album "Armageddonize" in February 2015, which debuted at number-49 on Sverigetopplistan. On 30, November 2015, SVT announced that Eclipse would participate in Melodifestivalen 2016 with the song "Runaways". The song was written by Erik Mårtensson, and competed in the fourth semi-final which took place 27 February in Gävle. Eclipse finished in fifth place and were eliminated from the competition.
The band released their sixth album "Monumentum" in March 2017 and then appeared on day 1 of the Frontiers Rock Festival IV held in Trezzo (Milano), Italy, 29–30 March 2017. In support of the album release, the band started a nine-country 18-date tour on 31 March 2017.

Eclipse Comics
American comic book publisher
Eclipse Comics was an American comic book publisher, one of several independent publishers during the 1980s and early 1990s. In 1978, it published the first graphic novel intended for the newly created comic book specialty store market. It was one of the first to offer royalties and creator ownership of rights.
Creators whose early work appears in Eclipse publications included Scott McCloud, Timothy Truman, Dan Brereton, James Hudnall and Chris Ware, while the publisher also produced creator-owned work by Don McGregor, Mark Evanier, Gene Colan, Alan Moore, Steve Englehart, Steve Gerber and P. Craig Russell.
History.
Foundation.
The company was founded as Eclipse Enterprises by brothers Jan and Dean Mullaney – the sons of early electronica musician Dave Mullaney of the band Hot Butter – in April 1977. Dean Mullaney later claimed that he was inspired to create the company after learning of Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster's struggles to gain recognition for creating Superman in 1968, and that this led him to create a company with an ethos that respected creator ownership and royalty payments over the then-standard industry practice of work-for-hire. Jan Mullaney, a session keyboardist who had toured with the Bee Gees and Bad Company, put up the $2000 starting money.
The name was thought up by Sue Pollina, a friend of the Mullaneys, while the company's first logo was designed by Mark Gruenwald. The company was initially headquartered at 81 Delaware Street, Staten Island, New York.
Early graphic novels.
Eclipse published one of the first original graphic novels, and the first to be sold through the new "direct market" of comic-book stores, "Sabre: Slow Fade of an Endangered Species" by Don McGregor and Paul Gulacy. Published on 30 September 1978 and previewed in "Heavy Metal", the book was a success. This led to the Mullaneys being contacted by P. Craig Russell, McGregor's collaborator on Marvel Comics' "Amazing Adventures". Eclipse published Russell's experimental "Night Music 1" in November 1979, by which time the company had also released a compilation of Fred Hembeck's parody "Dateline: @!!?#" strips from "The Buyer's Guide to Comics Fandom". Russell later created comic adaptations of numerous operas for Eclipse. A more sophisticated logo was also commissioned from Tom Orzechowski; it remained the company's insignia for the rest of its existence, minor alterations aside. The profits earned to date were used to fund publication of McGregor's "Detectives, Inc.: A Remembrance of Threatening Green" (with artist Marshall Rogers) and Steve Gerber's "Stewart the Rat". In 1980, Mullaney moonlighted as co-editor of the brand-new hobbyist publication "Comics Feature", produced by Hal Schuster's New Media Publishing, but left after a year to focus on Eclipse.
Ongoing titles.
Not wanting to limit the company to graphic novels alone, the brothers devised "Eclipse, the Magazine", a 68-page bi-monthly black-and-white anthology title with a rotating group of creator-owned characters. The first issue, dated May 1981, introduced the hard-boiled female detective Ms. Tree by Max Allan Collins and Steve Ditko's "Static". The title later introduced Steve Englehart's "Coyote", Trina Robbins' adaptation of Sax Rohmer's "Dope", McGregor and Colan's "Ragamuffins" (which Mullaney later described as "perhaps the finest thing we ever published") and B.C. Boyer's "Masked Man". October 1981 saw the publication of Jim Starlin's Dreadstar graphic novel "The Price" when the writer-artist was having contractual issues with Marvel. The success of the volume enabled Starlin to leverage a better deal with Marvel, and led to the creation of Marvel's Epic Comics imprint in 1982. Dean Mullaney later claimed Epic's name was purposefully picked to cause confusion with Eclipse. Another disgruntled Marvel creator to work for Eclipse was Gerber; Eclipse commissioned his "Destroyer Duck" series. Another anthology, it was partly motivated to allow Gerber to raise funds to sue Marvel over the ownership of Howard the Duck. The first issue of "Destroyer Duck" sold 80,000 copies and proved to the Mullaneys that colour ongoing comics were viable; a "Saber" series started in 1982 and ran for 14 issues.
In December 1981 production of "Destroyer Duck" introduced Dean Mullaney to Cat Yronwode, then news reporter for "Comics Buyer's Guide". At the time, Yronwode was working as an archivist for Will Eisner. Yronwode recalled that Eisner and his wife Ann "hosted a party for me with all these comic book men I was flirting with. All these men came up; they all wanted to meet Will. One of them was Dean Mullaney, the co-owner of Eclipse Comics, a small independent publishing house. He was the most flirtatious." The pair began a personal and professional relationship, though the former aspect was initially kept private. Yronwode rapidly became Eclipse's de facto editor-in-chief.
Expansion.
While Jan Mullaney remained based in New York to handle the economic side of the business, Dean Mullaney focused on the role of publisher and Yronwode that of editor-in-chief for Eclipse's growing number of titles, and the pair briefly relocated to Columbia, Missouri. After meeting Mark Evanier and Will Meugniot Eclipse published their first superhero regular series, "The DNAgents". It was joined by "Eclipse Monthly", a colour successor to "Eclipse, the Magazine" that continued "Static", "Dope" and "Masked Man" as well as introducing further characters. "Ms. Tree" was spun off into its own title, while Yronwode rediscovered Will Eisner's lost 1948 story "John Law", which was published for the first time. After the stopover in Missouri, Dean Mullaney and Yronwode established Eclipse's main offices in the small town of Guerneville in July 1983. In October 1984 Jan Mullaney opted to discontinue his involvement in order to focus on his music career, leaving his brother as sole publisher and Yronwode officially promoted to editor-in-chief. Eclipse's advertising copy flagged their stance on creator ownership, the maturity of the material and the individuality of the output
Increased output included Scott McCloud's "Zot!" (which the writer-artist originally submitted through the mail) and Doug Moench's "Aztec Ace". Yronwode effectively became the face of the company, continuing to write her influential "Fit to Print" comic in "Comics Buyer's Guide" and from late 1984 penning the "Penumbra" column printed in most Eclipse titles; it had previously been named "Notes from Surf City" in reference to the 1963 Jan and Dean song, an in-joke between the similarly named Mullaney brothers. During this time her name was professionally rendered as "cat ⊕ yronwode" in "CBG" and Eclipse material, though other publishers were less exhaustive. The comic market experienced a downturn in 1984 due to a crowded market but Eclipse were successful enough to weather it; when rival Pacific Comics folded, Mullaney was able to arrange purchasing their titles. This included Dave Stevens' "The Rocketeer", "Mr. Monster" and "Somerset Holmes", as well as a recently signed deal for the American rights to Quality Communications' acclaimed British anthology "Warrior". They also set up the Independent Comics Group to publish two issues of the anthology "Twisted Tales", while Fred Burke also joined the company in 1984. Burke subsequently edited and wrote numerous titles for Eclipse.
The inherited deal with Quality was fortuitously timed; Alan Moore had recently taken over writing "Saga of the Swamp Thing" for DC Comics, triggering the so-called British invasion. The "Warrior" deal brought in "Axel Pressbutton" and "The Spiral Path", which were coloured by Eclipse and printed in limited series, as well as taking over Peter Milligan's "Strange Days" anthology, starring Johnny Nemo. The deal also included the acclaimed revival of "Marvelman" written by Moore, though legal issues – resulting in the book being retitled "Miracleman" – had to be resolved before Eclipse could run the title. "Miracleman" was originally one of three 75¢ books launched by Eclipse (along with "The New Wave" and the new-material "Laser Eraser and Pressbutton") as part of a short-lived deal with a Finnish printer at the time they were the cheapest direct market full colour comics ever made. However, the results of the printing were severely lacking and the price soon became unviable, with Eclipse reverting the books to their standard 95¢ bracket after the initial printing contract expired. After the "Warrior" material ran out Moore continued the series at Eclipse. Other new additions around this time were Timothy Truman's "Scout", Larry Marder's "Tales of the Beanworld" and "Adolescent Radioactive Black Belt Hamsters", Don Chin's spoof of the already-parodic "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles", while Russell continued his adaptations with comic versions of the operas "Salome" and "Pelleas and Melisandre" under the "Night Music" banner. Eclipse also produced a series of Murray Ward's indexes to various DC titles, continuing from his deal with Pacific; to avoid the complication of Eclipse's logo appearing on books featuring another publisher's intellectual property, these were published via a sub-label named the Independent Comic Group.
Eclipse attempted to innovate with new publishing models for comics. Among these were so-called "micro-series", limited series of two bi-weekly or even weekly issues; a line of 3-D stereoscopy books in collaboration with Ray Zone (including the official adaptation of Disney Michael Jackson vehicle "Captain EO") and – later – flexi disc records containing theme songs for titles. By this point, Eclipse was selling around half a million comics a month, and was the third largest comics publisher after Marvel Comics and DC Comics.
Flooding.
Eclipse suffered a major setback on February 14, 1986, when the Russian River flooded after heavy rainfall. Eclipse's offices were swamped; the water reached the second floor of their building, as well as Mullaney and Yronwode's homes. Mullaney recalled that Yronwode had to be rescued from her office by a Red Cross canoe; while he was able to save much of the original artwork in the offices by moving it up to the third floor It destroyed the company's inventory of back issues, as well as colour separations for planned reprints of "Zot!" and Yronwode's notes for a non-fiction book about Steve Ditko. The subject was covered in "Fit to Print" and "Penumbra" columns. The events were alluded to in a tongue-in-cheek framing sequence Yronwode wrote for "Miracleman" #8. The damage caused was estimated at $200,000.
Despite the material and financial losses, in July 1986 the company launched its first regular bi-weekly title, "Airboy". A revival of a defunct Golden Age aviator hero originally published by Hillman Periodicals between 1942 and 1953, the series was written by the prolific Chuck Dixon. The title initially had another unusual format, being a 16-page 50¢ full-colour title initially. While this was eventually dropped, "Airboy" was a critical and commercial success for Eclipse, and several spin-off titles followed. Superhero series "The New Wave" also launched using the bi-weekly model before becoming a standard monthly. To deal with the increasing output both Burke and Letita Glozer (Yronwode's half-sister) were added to the full-time editorial staff, while Beau Smith joined as Sales Manager.
To avoid further flooding the company also relocated to Forestville in Sonoma County, California. In July 1987, Yronwode used her "Fit to Print" column to announce her forthcoming marriage to Dean Mullaney, set to take place on August 15 in Forestville; readers were encouraged to write in to receive invitations.
Political comics and trading cards.
In the period 1987–1993, Eclipse became involved with a selection of comics and trading cards on real-world political topics. The early political comics were the results of partnerships with activist groups like Central Committee for Conscientious Objectors, Citizen Soldier, and the Christic Institute.
In 1987, the company published the antiwar comic "Real War Stories" #1, edited by Joyce Brabner, with work by Mike W. Barr, Steve Bissette, Brian Bolland, Paul Mavrides, Dean Motter, Denny O'Neil and John Totleben (among others). In 1991, Eclipse published "Real War Stories" #2, the final issue of the series.
In 1988 Eclipse had become the first comics company to produce trading cards with the "Iran-Contra Scandal" Trading Cards, with text written by Paul Brancato and featuring art by Salim Yaqub.
In 1989, Eclipse co-published (with Warner Books) the graphic novel flip book "Brought to Light". The comic, by writers Alan Moore and Joyce Brabner and artist Bill Sienkiewicz, dealt in part with the Central Intelligence Agency's involvement in the Iran–Contra affair.
The commercial success of the Iran-Contra Scandal trading cards set led to similar sets on other deliberately provocative subjects – gaining Eclipse considerable mainstream publicity in the process. These included:
Less sensational trading card sets included "The Comedy Channel presents the Rock Bottom Awards" by Peggy Gordon and Sienkiewicz; this was a more light-hearted set that mixed political and celebrity targets; as well as cards on baseball bloopers, James Bond, country music, and "National Lampoon's Loaded Weapon".
The company's 1992 trading card set, "True Crime" by Max Allan Collins, George Hagenauer, Paul Lee, Valarie Jones, Peggy Collier and Jon Bright, covering both mafia and gang figures such as Al Capone and Hymie Weiss to more recent mass killers such as John Wayne Gacy and Jeffrey Dahmer, drew considerable controversy after an Eclipse press release was picked up by "Entertainment Tonight", leading to accusations of sensationalism. The series was also lambasted on "The Today Show" and "The Maury Povich Show", while Michigan senators put forward a resolution to ban the cards before they had even been released, while legislators in Maryland and Arkansas made similar moves. Reporting on the issue, comics industry magazine "Amazing Heroes" noted that Shel-Tone Publications' similar "Bloody Visions" set had attracted no such censure when released previously. Yronwode later claimed Eclipse received around 10,000 items of hate mail, and wrote about the controversy when the cards were collected as a pair of albums, "True Crime Vol 1 – G-Men & Gangsters" and "True Crime Vol 2 – Serial Killers & Mass Murderers" in 1993.
Following the success of the True Crime trading cards, in 1993 Eclipse published the two-issue series "True Crime Comics" as well as the "True Crime Comics Special".
Setbacks.
Eclipse's creator-owned ethos had commercial flaws; as the company owned few of its properties it was dependent on its freelancing creators to keep popular titles going as fill-in issues and spin-offs had to be cleared with the creators, who also had the rights to take their work to other publishers when contracts expired. After losing his lawsuit over "Howard the Duck", Gerber wound down "Destroyer Duck" to return to his former employers Marvel as a freelancer; "Aztec Ace" was cancelled due to the inability to find satisfactory artists; Scott McCloud's work on the Creator's Bill of Rights caused delays on the award-winning "Zot!"; Dave Stevens struck a deal with to serialise new "Rocketeer" material; "DNAgents" and its spin-off "Crossfire" were abandoned when Mark Evanier took on work for DC Comics; Ty Templeton abandoned "Stig's Inferno" soon after transferring it to Eclipse when he received offers to work on "Booster Gold"; and "Miracleman" slowed to a point where the bi-monthly title shipped three issues between April 1988 and December 1989 due to artist John Totleben's health issues.
While "Airboy" and "Scout" remained solid sellers for the company further attempts to expand into superhero comics, such as "The New Wave", Kurt Busiek's "The Liberty Project", Tim Truman's "The Prowler" and Chuck Dixon's "Strike!" encountered little long-term success. Between 1987 and 1988 Eclipse's share of the market fell from around 8% to 3.6% (also falling behind First Comics. The successful emergence of Dark Horse Comics (who also took on "Mr. Monster") further ate into Eclipse's share. The company began to explore non-fiction; Yronwode and Robbins co-wrote "Women and the Comics", a volume on the history of female comic strip and comic book creators. As the first book on this subject, its publication was covered in the mainstream press in addition to the fan press.
Eclipse International.
Attempting to diversify, in 1988 the company created a new division, Eclipse International, to publish material from overseas. One source was Japan, where manga was produced in prodigious amounts; the success of imported anime such as "Robotech" and "Voltron" had shown a large potential market for such subject matter. A deal was struck with Shogakukan's subsidiary Viz Communication for some of their titles, which were translated and modified for the American market by Toren Smith's Studio Proteus. The first titles were "Area 88", "Kamui" and "Mai, the Psychic Girl". These were successful and were followed by other similar titles, including "Appleseed". However, before Eclipse could publish the heavily advertised "Lum * Urusei Yatsura" the title was halted due to "circumstances beyond [either party]'s control". In November 1988 Viz chose not to renew their contract with Eclipse, instead setting up their own American publishing wing. Eclipse continued to work with Studio Proteus on other manga imports, including "Dominion," "What's Michael?," and "The Lost Continent". The company also commissioned Adam Warren to create an English-language version of "Dirty Pair".
Alongside this, it partnered with the British independent publisher Acme Press to distribute their comics in the American market. Highlights from the relationship included "Power Comics", a four-issue superhero title with art by Dave Gibbons and Brian Bolland; "Aces", a five-issue black-and-white anthology of serialized Jazz Age genre stories which were originally published in Europe; licensed James Bond material in the form of the official adaptation of latest film "Licence to Kill" and three issue mini-series "James Bond: Permission to Die" — the first James Bond comic book storyline not adapted from a previous work — both featuring art from Mike Grell; mini-series "Steed and Mrs. Peel" (based on television show "The Avengers" but renamed to avoid confusion with the highly prominent Marvel Comics series of that name) by Grant Morrison and Ian Gibson; and Eddie Campbell's "The Complete Alec". The collection won the 1991 UK Comic Art Award for Best Graphic Novel Collection. The deal ended in 1992.
"Total Eclipse".
As their tenth anniversary approached, Eclipse planned "Total Eclipse", a company-wide crossover in the style of DC's blockbuster "Crisis on Infinite Earths". Due to most of its characters being creator-owned permission had to be sought from each individually; many acceded. Eclipse put considerable resources into the prestige-format "super series", including hiring "Crisis" writer Marv Wolfman to script the series and commissioning covers from Bill Sienkiewicz. Despite promotional stunts such as bespoke plastic bags for comics stores, "Total Eclipse" was beset by delays and a commercial and critical failure, nixing any hopes of relaunching the likes of "Strike!" and "The New Wave" on the back of its success. Soon afterwards production problems saw the stalwart "Airboy" put on hiatus after 50 issues, while "Scout" likewise stalled before mooted third series "Scout: Marauder" could begin. At the end of 1989 Eclipse announced they were turning away from mainstream comics to 'special projects' (including their trading card business).
Decline and closure.
After the failure of "Total Eclipse", Eclipse largely discontinued superhero comics bar the ongoing "Zot!" (which ended in 1991) and "Miracleman". Instead, comics output largely focused on literary adaptations, including J. R. R. Tolkien's "The Hobbit", Anne McCaffrey's "Dragonflight" and several Clive Barker works, either as mini-series, one shots or graphic novels. Otherwise the company focused on collected editions, and only occasional titles – such as Truman's revisiting of pulp hero "The Spider" or zeitgeist-tapping spoofs such as "X-Farce" (a satire on Rob Liefeld's "X-Force") and "Loco vs. Pulverine" (based on Lobo and Wolverine)--made any impression on sales charts. Several titles, such as a new "Aztec Ace" mini-series and several titles under the Eclipse F/X horror label, were announced but failed to reach publication.
By 1991 Eclipse typically held around 1% of the market and had been definitively overtaken by Malibu, Valiant and Image. Having always done most of their business with comic stores rather than larger retailers, Eclipse were one of many small publishers adversely affected by the post-speculator boom contraction of the direct market, and by a problematic contract with the book publisher HarperCollins.
Bankruptcy.
Problems were exacerbated when Mullaney and Yronwode underwent a messy divorce during 1993; Yronwode later claimed that Mullaney began behaving erratically and emptying Eclipse accounts. The company was left so low on resources that, despite receiving completed versions of "Miracleman" #25 and spin-off "Miracleman Triumphant" #1, no printer would extend them credit to print the comics. Eclipse's last publication was its Spring 1993 catalog, which was a complete bibliography of its publications, and it ceased business in 1994 before finally filing for bankruptcy in 1995.
Assets.
The company's intellectual property rights were later acquired by Todd McFarlane for a total of $25,000. Due to most of the company's titles being creator-owned this largely consisted of the "Airboy" characters and trademarks for some of the anthology titles; at the time McFarlane and others involved believed it also included a two-third share in "Miracleman". Eventually it was discovered that Quality Communications, and thus Eclipse, had never correctly licensed the characters from creator Mick Anglo.
Controversies.
Payment of creators.
After their contract with Eclipse ended in 1988, manga translator Toren Smith's Studio Proteus signed with Dark Horse. Finding his income suddenly increasing despite similar sales, Smith instigated an audit of Eclipse's finances, revealing the keeping of two sets of books to avoid paying the agreed royalties. A large judgement was eventually made against Eclipse, the losses from which were a factor in the company's strained finances.
Garry Leach, Dez Skinn, Alan Davis, Neil Gaiman, Mark Buckingham, Dave Stevens and Mike Deodato have all gone on the record to state they were either not paid or not paid correctly for work with Eclipse, while Davis has also stated his work was published without his permission.
Lawsuits.
In 1992, the convicted serial killer Kenneth Bianchi, one-half of the pair known as the Hillside Stranglers, sued Yronwode for USD$8.5 million for having an image of his face depicted on a trading card; he claimed his face was his trademark. The judge dismissed the case after ruling that, if Bianchi had been using his face as a trademark when he was killing women, he would not have tried to hide it from the police.
Eclipse was also a plaintiff when Nassau County, New York, seized a crime-themed trading card series of theirs under a county ordinance prohibiting sales of certain trading cards to minors. The case, in which Yronwode testified and the American Civil Liberties Union provided Eclipse's representation, reached the 2nd Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals. It ruled against the county, overturning the ordinance.

Eclipse (Veil of Maya album)
Eclipse is the fourth studio album by American metalcore band Veil of Maya. It was released on February 28, 2012, and is the band's shortest album to date, clocking in at only 28 minutes. "Eclipse" was co-written and produced by Misha "Bulb" Mansoor, who is the guitarist of the Maryland-based metal band Periphery. It is the first record by the band to feature bassist Danny Hauser and the last with vocalist Brandon Butler.
Culture references.
The song title "Winter Is Coming Soon" is a reference to the television series "Game of Thrones".
The track "Punisher" has gained notoriety on the Internet due to a sample which was placed within the song at 2:03, of which is an excerpt of audio taken from a YouTube video called "Periphery Sucks" where a young man criticizes djent and the band Periphery, in which album producer Misha Mansoor plays guitar.
Inspiration.
A paragraph inside the physical version of the album talks about the inspiration of "Eclipse". According to it, the band met a woman while touring in Italy who was blind throughout half of her life, and had her vision restored by staring directly into a solar eclipse. The paragraph goes on to say that "there is much more to the magnitude and magnificence of a solar eclipse than meets the eye." Guitarist Marc Okubo has also talked in a Guitar Messenger interview about this story as the underlying theme of the album.

Eclipse (horse)
British Thoroughbred racehorse
Eclipse (1 April 1764 – 26 February 1789) was an undefeated 18th-century British Thoroughbred racehorse who won 18 races, including 11 King's Plates. He raced before the introduction of the British Classic Races, at a time when four-mile heat racing was the norm. He was considered the greatest racehorse of his time and the expression, "Eclipse first, the rest nowhere" entered the English vernacular as an expression of dominance.
After retiring from racing, he became a very successful sire, whose offspring included three Epsom Derby winners: Young Eclipse, Saltram and Serjeant. He was also a successful sire of sires, and his sire line has become dominant in the modern Thoroughbred worldwide through descendants such as Northern Dancer, Mr. Prospector and Sunday Silence.
Breeding.
Eclipse was foaled during and named after the solar eclipse of 1 April 1764, at Keats Gore, near East Ilsley in Berkshire, not at the Cranbourne Lodge stud of his breeder, Prince William Augustus, Duke of Cumberland, as many believe. This commonly recorded error is because of the prestige of Cranbourne Lodge. It was at Cranbourne that his sire, the Jockey Club Plate winner Marske (by Squirt from The Ruby Mare) stood. His dam, Spilletta (foaled 1749), was by Regulus, who was by the Godolphin Arabian. Eclipse's male-line great-grandsire was Bartlett's Childers, and his male-line great-great-grandsire was Darley Arabian. Eclipse was a brother to the successful broodmare Proserpine. They were inbred to Snake in the fourth generation (4m x 4f) of their pedigree. After the death of Prince William in 1765, Eclipse was sold for 75 guineas to a sheep dealer from Smithfield, William Wildman.
Eclipse was a bright chestnut with a narrow blaze running down his face. He had a white stocking on his right hind leg. Eclipse was a big horse for his time, just over  hands , and was an inch higher at the rump than at the withers. He was strong, sound and fast. He was sometimes criticized for having a large, unattractive head. His difficult temperament was well documented, and might have led to him being gelded. Instead he was turned over to a rough-rider, who worked him hard all day, and at night as well on poaching expeditions if the stories are to be believed. This treatment, rather than souring his disposition, settled Eclipse enough to allow him to be raced, although his jockeys never attempted to hold him.
Racing career.
Before Eclipse's first start at the age of five, a trial was arranged at Epsom (although the location has also been given as Mickleham). Bookmakers, trying to verify whether rumours about the horse were true, showed up but were too late — the trial had already been run. On their way home, though, they encountered an old woman who told them she had seen a horse with a white leg being chased by another, who she did not think would catch the horse with the white leg, even if he pursued him to the end of the world. Accordingly, when Eclipse started in his first race on May 3 1769, a £50 Plate for horses who had never won, he was 4/1 on favourite. The race consisted of three heats of four miles each. Eclipse won easily.
After his second victory in a race in May 1769, Dennis O'Kelly purchased Eclipse in two stages. (50 percent in June 1769 for 650 guineas, 50 percent in April 1770 for 1,100 guineas). Supposedly, at this time O'Kelly used the famous phrase "Eclipse first and the rest nowhere", before making his bets for this race, although some sources have him saying this for the second heat of the horse's debut. At that time, a horse that was more than 240 yards behind the lead was said to be "nowhere". His jockey was John Oakley, supposedly the only jockey who could handle Eclipse's temperamental manner and running style of holding his nose very close to the ground.2 Eclipse won the race and covered O'Kelly's bet.
His toughest challenge was a match race versus the highly regarded Bucephalus in April 1770. Bucephalus was game, but Eclipse was the easy winner. In August, he took on top class horses Tortoise and Bellario in the Great Subscription Purse at York, but at odds of 20/1 on, routed both of them, being over a furlong in front after two miles, and winning in a canter.
Eclipse won 18 races, including 11 King's Plates, supposedly without ever being fully extended and proving far superior to all competition. During his racing career, Eclipse ran over 63 miles and walked 1,400 miles to race meetings across England.
Eclipse is still remembered in the phrase "Eclipse first and the rest nowhere", snowcloned as "[name of competitor] first and the rest nowhere", referring to any dominating victory. This phrase is occasionally seen in American print media (most often in newspaper sport sections) but is more common in Britain.
He is attested to have covered 83 feet per second at top speed, and covered 25 feet in a single stride.
Race record.
In ten of the King's Plates, Eclipse carried 12 st, or 168 pounds, the highest weight (by one pound) that was carried by a winner in England up to 1840.
Stud record.
In 1771, Eclipse was retired to stud after a racing career of about 17 months due to lack of competition as nobody was betting on rival horses. Initially he stood at O'Kelly's Clay Hill Stud, near Epsom (Surrey), for a fee of 10 guineas which rose rapidly to 25 and then to 50 guineas a mare. During 1788, he was relocated to Cannons Stud, Edgware (Middlesex).
Overall, Eclipse sired 344 winners of more than £158,000 (although the number varies with different reports, ranging from 325 to 400).
Notable progeny.
"s = stallion, m = mare"
Eclipse's daughters include Horatia, one of only twelve mares to produce two Derby winners: Archduke and Paris. She also produced two-time Doncaster Cup winner Stamford. Other daughters of Eclipse produced Derby winners John Bull and Skyscraper, and St. Leger winners Tartar, Remembrancer and Phoenomenon. Chanticleer, Haphazard, and Weasel are also noted as important runners out of Eclipse mares.
Eclipse was never the leading sire in Great Britain and Ireland, although he finished in second place 11 times, usually behind Herod. A book published in 1970 stated that the Royal Veterinary College had determined that nearly 80% of Thoroughbred racehorses had Eclipse in their pedigree. That percentage has naturally increased with time and the inevitable inbreeding in the Thoroughbred population. More recently it has been estimated that Eclipse is not only "somewhere" in the pedigree, but a <dfn id="">tail-male</dfn> ancestor of "95pc of contemporary thoroughbreds" or of "nearly every living thoroughbred."
This modern dominance comes mainly through a sire line established by Potoooooooo, although King Fergus would also found another successful branch leading to Ribot. Potoooooooo's grandson Waxy would lead the sire list in 1811, and Waxy's grandson Birdcatcher in turn led the sire list in 1852 and 1856. Birdcatcher's grandson Stockwell outdid them both, becoming leading sire seven times. Stockwell's grandson Bend Or founded a line that led four generations later to Phalaris The Phalaris line has several branches, notably through Nearco and Native Dancer.
In Great Britain and Ireland, the Eclipse sire line includes modern leading sires such as Sadler's Wells, Danehill and Galileo. In North America, leading sires in his line include Bold Ruler (sire of Secretariat), Mr. Prospector (ancestor of American Pharoah), Danzig, Storm Cat, A.P. Indy, Giant's Causeway and Tapit. In Japan, Eclipse's sire line includes leading sires Sunday Silence, King Kamehameha and Deep Impact, while in Australia leading sires from his line include Redoute's Choice, Encosta De Lago and Fastnet Rock.
Death.
Eclipse died due to an attack of colic on 27 February 1789, at the age of 24. His skeleton is now housed at the Royal Veterinary College, Hertfordshire, in the Learning Resource Centre named after him, although it cannot be said for certain whether all the bones displayed are really from Eclipse. His hooves were made into inkstands, although the fact that there are at least five Eclipse-hoof inkstands casts some doubt on the authenticity of some. Hairs from his tail have also been used for decorations.
A necropsy on Eclipse by Charles Vial de Sainbel found that he had an abnormally large heart, weighing . This trait has been referred to in the context of thoroughbreds as the "X Factor" Theory. While the theory has yet to be proven, it has gained popularity due to the large hearts seen occasionally in his descendants, including Secretariat and Phar Lap.
Honors and analysis.
The Eclipse Awards are American Thoroughbred horse-racing awards named after Eclipse. They honour the champions of the sport, and are sponsored by the National Thoroughbred Racing Association (NTRA), "Daily Racing Form" and the National Turf Writers Association, who select all finalists at the end of the year. The most prestigious of these Awards is the Eclipse Award for Horse of the Year title.
The Eclipse Stakes is a Group 1 flat race in the United Kingdom for three-year-olds and older run over a distance of 1¼ miles and 7 yards (2,018 metres) at Sandown Park.
Eclipse Press is the book-publishing division of Blood-Horse Publications, an international publishing house for top Thoroughbred and general equine magazines, books, videos, CD-ROMs and annual references.
Sheffield-based "Eclipse" tools, now part of Spear & Jackson, took their name and their "Eclipse first..." slogan in 1909 from the horse.
The life story of Eclipse inspired the novel "O'Kelly's Eclipse" by screenwriter Arthur Weiss.
Nicholas Clee's "Eclipse: The Story of the Rogue, the Madam and the Horse That Changed Racing" is a biography of Eclipse and of the people connected to him, among them the gambler Dennis O'Kelly and the brothel madam Charlotte Hayes. Other biographies of Eclipse include Michael Church's "Eclipse: The Horse, The Race, The Awards" (2000), and Theodore Cook's 1907 book "Eclipse and O'Kelly".
Contrary to popular belief, the Mitsubishi Eclipse was named for the racehorse, and not for the natural phenomenon.
Pedigree.
At the time of Eclipse's birth, stud records were maintained by the individual breeder with no central authority. Record-keeping was somewhat haphazard, compounded by spelling and transcription errors, and the fact that the names of mares were often not recorded. In 1791, James Weatherby and William Sydney Towers pieced together the General Stud Book, which is the source of the pedigree shown below. However, there are still several debated entries of interest to pedigree experts. Details of the issues can be found in Appendix 2 of Nicholas Clee's book on Eclipse. The most notable issues are summarized below.
According to all official records, Eclipse's sire was Marske (written as 'Mask' in a 1764 entry in the Royal Stud Book). Marske was a moderately successful racehorse who had little early success in the breeding shed. His stud fee at the time of Eclipse's conception was only half a guinea, though it subsequently grew to 30 guineas. During Eclipse's lifetime, however, it was rumoured that his real sire was Shakespeare, who was a somewhat better racehorse than Marske and was said to resemble Eclipse more closely. According to a contemporary source, Eclipse's dam was covered in 1763 first by Shakespeare and later by Marske, and paternity was based on Eclipse's foaling date corresponding to the date of the second breeding session. Since both Marske and Shakespeare were great-grandsons of the Darley Arabian, Eclipse would still descend from that stallion.
Eclipse's dam was Spilletta, who is shown as a bay in the General Stud Book but recorded as a chestnut in the personal records of her second owner, the Duke of Ancaster. There is again confusion over her breeding: The General Stud Book shows her sire as the undefeated Regulus (by the Godolphin Arabian) but a 1754 racing calendar shows her sire as Sedbury (by the Byerley Turk). Spilletta's dam was Mother Western, whose paternity is subject to similar confusion between Scarborough Colt and Easby Snake. Spilletta raced only once, finishing last in a field of three. In her first eight years as a broodmare, Spilletta produced only one live foal. In 1760, she was bred to Markse for the first time with no issue. Three years later, they were mated again: Eclipse was the result.

Eclipse (Yngwie Malmsteen album)
Eclipse is the fifth studio album by guitarist Yngwie Malmsteen, released in 1990 through Polydor Records. The album reached No. 112 on the US "Billboard" 200 and remained on that chart for six weeks, as well as reaching the top 50 in six other countries.
Critical reception.
Steve Huey at AllMusic gave "Eclipse" 3.5 stars out of 5, describing it as sounding "like a holding pattern—Malmsteen turns in a competent set of neo-classical rockers that achieve radio-ready status better than much of the material on "Odyssey", but there isn't anything that sounds new here."

Eclipse (Journey album)
Eclipse (stylized as ECL1P53) is the fourteenth studio album by American rock band Journey and the second with lead singer Arnel Pineda. Penned by Neal Schon and Jonathan Cain with contributions from Pineda, the album was released in the United States and Canada on May 24, 2011, on May 27, 2011, in Japan, in the United Kingdom on May 30, 2011, and internationally on June 3, 2011. It is the last album to feature bassist Ross Valory, who was dismissed from the group in 2020.
Production.
"Eclipse" was recorded in Berkeley, CA. As the album was near completion, producer Kevin Shirley ran out of time. In an effort for the band to release the album in time for the tour, Neal Schon and Jonathan Cain produced the remaining tracks in Nashville. The album was a departure, focusing on a harder rock sound rather than the formulaic pop hits and ballads. Schon, feeling the pop formula became repetitive, wanted to experiment on "Eclipse" and make it more guitar-oriented and less radio-friendly. Shirley had trepidation about the direction of the album, clashing with Schon creatively. Many of the tracks were re-recorded in Nashville under Schon and Cain's production. Cain supported "Eclipse", saying "we’d had this concept in mind from the get go. We’ve got the ballads we can play all day long. If people want to hear ballads, they can certainly find them on other records."
Despite this intentional change in sound, it does feature at least one ballad, "Anything Is Possible", which hit number twenty-one on the Billboard Adult Contemporary chart.
Release and reception.
"Eclipse" was released on May 24, 2011. In North America it was exclusively sold at Wal-Mart. "Eclipse" sold 21,400 copies in the United States in its debut week, reaching No. 13 on the US "Billboard" 200 chart. "Eclipse" marks Journey's second straight Top 20 album with current lead singer, Arnel Pineda. Internationally, "Eclipse" entered the Top 40 album charts in five different countries.
Despite high chart positions it descended from the charts within weeks. "Eclipse" was unable to match the success of "Revelation", barely selling 100,000 copies—an 1/8th of the previous album's sales.
"Eclipse" received mixed to negative reviews. "Rolling Stone" reviewer Caryn Ganz rated the album at two stars, saying "Journey's second disc with Filipino YouTube discovery Arnel Pineda on vocals is both grand and distractingly proggy." Stephen Thomas Erlewine of Allmusic also rated "Eclipse" at two stars, praising Journey's ability to fuse their prog-rock abilities with their arena rock sound; however, he goes on to say the album "pulsates with a certain insular chill that isn't especially welcoming; this is music made for the musicians, and if anybody else happens to like it, that's just a minor bonus."
Aftermath.
Though Journey enjoyed the process of recording "Eclipse", they considered its lack of success a career setback. They became skeptical of recording a new album, focusing primarily on live performances. Jonathan Cain said "we have a great catalogue here, right now to play. We got a lot of songs that we're not even playing. So, we're like, 'What's the point of makin' a new CD right now?'". Cain did not rule out the possibility of another album, which he says "I think we need to stay sort of closer to who we are, to who we've been -- great songs, great melodies, harmonies -- and not worry about if it's heavy or not. Our fans are getting older, man; they're not headbangers anymore. So if we do anything, I think we need to go back to the center."

Eclipse (Five Star album)
Eclipse is an album by the British pop group Five Star. Released in 2001, the album was released via the Internet only through the group's fan club, run by their father and then-manager, Buster Pearson. The CD was a professionally printed disc, with CD booklet including sleeve notes and track information. The art work was designed by Pearson.
The album was never properly "completed" and only released at the insistence of their manager/father. The band's future was in question at this time as Doris and Delroy no longer wanted to perform, though both contributed to the "Eclipse" sessions. The band promoted the album as a threesome of Stedman, Lorraine and Deniece Pearson.
Only one single was issued from the album, "Funktafied". Again, this could only be purchased from their fan club.
"Eclipse" is Five Star's last studio album to date. Some of the tracks are songs that appeared on their 1994 album, "Heart and Soul", but are included in a slightly remixed form or as an alternative version.

Eclipse (Amorphis album)
Eclipse is the seventh studio album by Finnish heavy metal band Amorphis. The lyrics are from a play based on the Kullervo legend (told in the Kalevala), written by Finnish poet and playwright Paavo Haavikko in 1982.
"Eclipse" is also notable for being current vocalist Tomi Joutsen's debut with Amorphis following the departure of longtime singer Pasi Koskinen in 2005. It also marked the reintroduction of death growls into their music, albeit in limited quantity compared to subsequent albums. Music videos were made for the tracks "House of Sleep" and "The Smoke".
In February 2008, the record was certified gold in Finland, having sold over 15,000 units.

The Eclipse (club)
The Eclipse (later The Edge) was a nightclub in Coventry, England, and the first legal all-night club in the UK.
The Eclipse was a former Granada Bingo Hall, when local entrepreneurs Stuart Reid and Barry Edwards would put on the first allnighter in October 1990. The 1,600 capacity club was split over three floors.
The resident DJs were Mick Park and Mick Wilson (aka Parks & Wilson), The opening night line-up included: Evil Eddie Richards, Fabio, Sasha, and MC Tunes, who moaned about the sound system and walked off stage saying, "Get the sound sorted out, we'll be back soon", but he didn't return. It is said that the venue gave The Prodigy one of their first gigs for a fee of £60. The venue would also host nights from promoters such as "Dance Planet" and "Amnesia House".
In April 1992 the club featured on the late-night ITV show The Hitman and Her.
In September 1992, the venue became "The Edge". It finally closed in February 1994.
Virgin Records would release a two volume retrospective compilation "The Eclipse Presents Dance 'Til Dawn" in 1996 - one mixed by Stu Allan and the other Slipmatt.
After The Edge closed, the building was bought by Coventry University and repurposed as a student union entertainment venue and called "The Planet". The building was eventually demolished to make way for a car park.

Eclipse (Takemitsu)
1966 composition by Tōru Takemitsu
Eclipse () is a composition for shakuhachi and biwa by Japanese composer Tōru Takemitsu. It was composed in 1966.
Composition.
Before Takemitsu started to compose "Eclipse", he was reticent to use Japanese traditional instruments, because, as he puts it, their sound "always recalled the bitter memories of war". He started to use these instruments in 1962 Masaki Kobayashi's "Harakiri". Since this first collaboration, Takemitsu started using these instruments more often, as seen in Shinoda's "Assassination" and Masaki Kobayashi's "Kwaidan". He finally composed "Eclipse" in 1966 and premiered it that same year with Kinshi Tsuruta at the biwa and Katsuya Yokoyama at the shakuhachi. The premiere took place in the Nissay Theatre in Tokyo, on May 4, 1966. It is published by Éditions Salabert and has received a catalogue number W43 by James Siddons.
When Seiji Ozawa played Leonard Bernstein a tape of "Eclipse", Bernstein suggested combining the instruments in a composition with the western orchestra. From this recommendation, Takemitsu eventually composed "November Steps", to which this composition is strongly associated. This composition was originally performed by the same biwa and shakuhachi performers and, therefore, "Eclipse" is regarded as a forerunner to "November Steps".
Structure.
This composition is in only one movement. According to the score, it takes 21 to 22 minutes to perform. However, some performances take only around 11 minutes. "Eclipse" is structured into several musical episodes. In between there are long silences in which the poetry of Rabindranath Tagore may be recited. In the score of this composition, the notation system is slightly different and has special symbols to cover the different possibilities of the two instruments, for they are normally used only in traditional musical context and had been rarely used in concert pieces before. The score of the biwa consists of a special tablature system which is enhanced with pitch alterations, attack qualities and the like, whereas the shakuhachi player has to read lines and shapes on a time axis. Therefore, some expressive freedom is given to the performers.

Total Eclipse (American band)
American metal band from San Francisco, California
Total Eclipse is an American metal band from San Francisco, California, with a self-produced mini-CD released internationally ("Guardians of Metal", 1999), a worldwide album ("Ashes of Eden", Limb Music, 2003) released under a major record label, "Spellcaster" (Independent, 2009)Kukulkan in the 2013, and now in 2021 the new album Enemy Enemy has been released independently.
History.
In 1996 Erik Cameron and his brother Chris formed the band Total Eclipse. After a search for musicians who shared their passion, they met drummer Ramon Ochoa in 1998. As a teenager, Ramon had already swung the stick for several local acts. A short time later experienced bass player Owen Hart joined the band. The line-up was completed in January 1999 by singer Andy Dracons Giardina - also in Pandemic, and now the only original member from Total Eclipse's old line-up - who had already made a name for himself in his native Italy before moving to the United States to finish his academic studies and advance his musical career.
The chemistry between the Cameron brothers and the rest of the band was just right and within a year they had enough material for a demo. The Total Eclipse "Guardians of Metal" EP was released internationally in 1999.
Encouraged by the demo's success, Total Eclipse contacted famous German producer Uwe Lulis and before long the band had signed a deal with Limb Music; the album "Ashes of Eden" was released worldwide to much critical acclaim. Legendary Piet Sielck was also involved in the mixing and production of the album.
In 2004, the original line-up disintegrated following a decision made by the Cameron Brothers to pursue a different musical direction. After parting ways with Limb Music, and having legally acquired the name of the band, Giardina decided to find another label to release their new second album, "Spellcaster", also produced by Uwe Lulis, recorded in the Bay Area and somewhere near the Black Forest in Germany, then remastered in 2007/08 in San Francisco. The music is an expansion of the sound of the "Ashes of Eden" album and the "Guardians of Metal" demo.
In October 2007, Andy Dracons Giardina decided to resurrect Total Eclipse after the band's four-year hiatus from the scene, and simultaneously release the long-awaited second LP "Spellcaster". After many hardships, including a brief stint with a reformed line-up that didn't quite work out, the quest to fulfill the reincarnation of Total Eclipse continued and, in 2008, the band found Brian Davy as the new drummer for the second line-up.
In March 2009 Total Eclipse entered Faultline Studios in San Francisco to begin the recording of the third LP with the new line-up. The title for the new album is "Kulkukan" and has been recently released worldwide independently. This work represents yet another phase in the evolution of style and sound of the band. With the album recording complete, the band is setting up a full lineup, and will be planning subsequent touring to support the release.
In 2010, Total Eclipse joined world-famous metal band, IMAGIKA on a US tour which ran for several weeks, and was booked by Distilled Entertainment.
In July 2013, Total Eclipse was rejoined by guitarist Dan Gorman, and the band is now rehearsing material and setting plans to move forward.
After his return in Italy, Andy Giardina start to work on the new album "Enemy, Enemy" will be released in March 2021. The new album comprises different styles that exemplify the evolution of the entity known as Total Eclipse and include the roots of metal in all its aspects-
Supported by heavy "sabbath" bass lines forged in the Sabina land by Luciano Mancini, intersects the epic and triumphant atmospheres of the instrumentalist Maurizio Giacchi and the dystopian-psychedelic musical ideas of Andy Giardina-and its progression based on the Spirit of the Times.

Eclipse Sol-Air
Eclipse Sol-Air is a French band composed of seven musicians, which was founded in 2004 by Philippe Matic-Arnauld des Lions from France. The musical style of their own songs can be described as a mixture of styles, their individual sound and performance being provided by the violin, flute and piano in combination with French, English, German and Croatian lyrics.
Band history.
Eclipse Sol-Air (ESA for short) came into being in 2004. As a quintet the musicians brought out their first album in 2006 - "The Dark Side Guide". The first breakthrough for Philippe came after a number of changes to the line-up of the band, with the arrival of French singer and flautist Mireille Vicogne and the violinist Kathi Strobel, with whom he won first place in several competitions in 2009 and 2010. A highlight was being engaged by the European Space Agency, which has the same abbreviation as the band, namely “ESA”, to record a promotional video with the instrumental music from their “Reactor Song”.
In early 2010 the band was discovered by industry executive Dr. Hans Helmut Itzel, who helped the band draw up a strategy for the future and took on the role of patron. Part of the strategy was to replace the previous drummer Andreas Hagen with percussion teacher David Bücherl, who teaches at a well-known percussion school in Europe, Drummers Focus in Munich, from which he had also qualified himself. Guitar player Fritz Hoffmeister, who qualified from the Muenchener Gitarreninstitut, and e-bass and double-bass player Benno Schultheiss, completed the line-up.
Highlights were the concert at the Audi Max at Regensburg University together with the Regensburg University Symphony Orchestra, for which Philippe, at the time a music student at the university, and music director Graham Buckland wrote the orchestral score for the band's songs; plus an appearance at a festival in Clermont-Ferrand 2010.
It was with this line-up that their first well-known debut album “Bartoks Crisis” was recorded.
Early in 2011 violinist Kathi left the band to dedicate herself to her violin studies, and violinist Agatha Sörgel (“Kitty Power”) joined the ensemble. Following the decision not to allow the acting talents of Philippe to go to waste behind the keyboard any longer but to make him frontman alongside frontwoman Mireille as the “front duo”, pianist Melina Mayer joined the band to take over the keyboard and piano role previously
