Eklipse's interpretations of chart topping hits from bands such as Linkin Park, David Bowie and Kate Bush, are sensual, fragile, delicate and seductive, accompanied by a string quartet whose look conveys nostalgia, romance and desire. Eklipse's debut album "A Night in Strings" was recorded in Berlin together with different producers, showcasing ten instrumental scores that were carefully designed, arranged and hand-picked by Eklipse. Whether they choose to continue to produce renditions of other artists and remain instrumental is up for debate, but the quartet lives for the moment and don't speculate on the future. Eklipse enjoyed diving deep into these pieces and emerging with their versions of these great songs. Given the outcome, the remarkable skill, sex appeal and great discipline of these four young ladies, the future looks extremely promising, either way.

Fantastic music. Now
Fantastic music. Now, I do love classical music, so I obviously didn't go out on a limb by purchasing this cd. But, I'm so glad I did. It isn't just your everyday mozart or vivaldi. I feel I can honestly say, to all who don't normally like classical style music, try this one, you'll love it. It's that good! And the seller, marvelio, is awesome, too. They are at the top of their game in product availability and fast, prime like shipping. Check them out.

each one one of them pulled on my emotions like a toddler pulls on his mother's dress
Talent in a hand basket. I heard a few songs on Pandora recognizing them from original version, each one one of them pulled on my emotions like a toddler pulls on his mother's dress. I know little about stringed instruments, but I am intelligent enough to know that these musicians are feeling every second of every note they make. Awesome.

Silk stockings, satin knickers and ..... cellos!
Ekipse are four rather nice goth-chicks who set modern popular and rock songs to chamber music. There are some live performances on YouTube, and about five or six videos. On this album the high points for me are Linkin Park's In The End and Timberlake's Cry Me a River. Check out their version of Assassin's Creed. It is not to everyone's taste - - it will not be serious enough for classical music lovers, it will not be cool enough for the Kool Kids, but they do add a Goth-Punk edge to chamber music.

Patience will be rewarded
Out of leftfield, but a real grower of an album, Eklipse perform cover versions of fairly well known tracks in a unique style. They've looked at what Bond used to do and left out Bond's almost obligatory drum machine and given their tracks a fairly straight interpretation. Melodramatic and maybe a bit gothic in sound, matched by Eklipse's dress sense.

Gänsehaut
Durch Zufall bin ich in einem YouTube Video über die Musik der vier Damen gestolpert.Es dauerte eine ganze Weile, bis ich herausgefunden habe von wem diese großartige Musik stammt.Gefesselt von Mumbai-Themen konnte ich die Lieferung des Album kaum erwarten.Ich kann nur sagen,ich wurde nicht enttäuscht und seitdem ist die CD ein täglicher Begleiter auf dem Weg zur Arbeit.

Un groupe qui monte ?!
Ce groupe tout frais à beaucoup été qualifié de copie envers Apocalyptica, mais je n'y vois en rien une copie. Certes, on sent que tout cela est mis en scène, mais ayant découvert Eklipse en concert, j'ai beaucoup aimé. Une seule question : à quand un album avec des créations plutôt que des reprises ?! (bien que les-dites reprises soient splendides !)
