Musically, ECLIPSE SOL-AIR are a bit difficult to describe with elements from many genres: art, sympho, celtic, pop, mainstream, pomp, hard-rock, latino, gothic, metal etc... 
Their debut album is the exploration of enigmatic alchemy which contains nine tracks, sung in a mixture of English, French, German and Croatian (!).
