Eclypse

One of the first band from the city of Fumel (47, France) in the end of the seventies and beginning of the eighties. Active with bands like Les Ablettes, Drei Oklok, Angoisse, Les Taxidermistes, Brumaire, etc, in Fumel at these times. Clear influences from Genesis and Ange on stage (the singer was dressed like a lunar sparrow sometimes) but their Prog Rock music still sound more open to reggae or classic rock. Poetic and engaged lyrics ("Révolte", "Liberté", etc.) and a real work to create histories is clearly apparent in French. They tour mostly in the south west of France and didn't have the chance and the success they deserved. They self-produced a cassette album which pay by its selling a "super sono" to the band, so we may suppose they had a pretty good audience. But they were coming from an unknown place far from Paris and records companies...
