We have the first edition of The Eclipse CD now available for sale. This deluxe jewel case single disc version includes a gorgeous and ghostlike seethrough sleeve and insert as well as a small circular spirit tool which passes between the disc, the booklet, and the heliocentric world. The latest His Name is Alive album features Warn Defever and vocalist Andy FM, with contributions from Steve Sparks on
drums and Jean Cook playing violin. The album was produced at The UFO Factory in Detroit.
The first 50 copies include a bonus disc of acoustic demos, weird out-takes, and failed experiments gone horribly wrong.
