Eclipse (1976) ...

Prog band from Quebec, their first album...

Vision Intérieure ... 


"Eclipse was led by keyboardist Pierre Gauthier, formerly of Aut'chose. He is joined on their first eponymous album, released in 1976, by vocalist Marie-France Paquin (from Genèse, a previous group of Gauthier's), keyboardist Daniel Barbe (who played with Jacques Blais, among mothers), bassist Yoland Houle and percussionist Pierre Tremblay. The band had two moog players, and their material could get quite spacey at times." - Progquebec.com


Le Reve de John W. ... 



Pensée pour Barbara suivi de Honey #36 ... 

"Eclipse was a progressive rock band which featured 3 band members from Montreal and one from Manitoba.

Produced by John Williams and recorded at Le Studio, Morin Heights…" ... mocm.ca ...
