Shane Dangers 💯😎❤awesome... so happy to have discovered FE.. a pivotal change in my online music habituations occured sometime over the last 12 months..between (joining here) my 1st buy on Bandcamp..versus listening to synthwave on YouTube and never paying or supporting in any way..so this redeems my soul LOL.. so..💯💣❤🌞🌴💋 with Love + Soul (never fade away)...from Orlando, Florida Favorite track: Summerheart.

endemico With this release Full Eclipse provides the listener with a most sophisticated 80s experience, in full and with no compromises. Each track is a different journey, fueled by a plethora of dreamy synths and guitars, deep vocals and elegant melodies never trivial and guaranteed to resonate with your memories. I mean, just wait for the sax in Facing Yourself!

In short: a recommended item for any serious 80s synthwave aficionado. Favorite track: Are We All (feat. Bart Graft).

lessdead This album is just beautiful. listening feels like slipping into a dark ocean, being surrounded by fleeting memories.

The instrumentation is complex and layered; the vocals are unique, sombre and wholy original. Full Eclipse is something very special indeed.

1.	Lebenfallen 03:33	lyrics	buy track
Lebenfallen How could it last, could it stay the way it was Do you remember all the times gone by The world turned as we burned up the youthful enthusiasm We alone assumed that we could never die Then it came, the cold feel, when you sat behind the wheel We almost lost the lives we thought we'd never lose But the very next day the cold feeling fell away And the line, it barely wavered on the cruise All the lights flowed past as we raced against the sun We were too young to think in terms of fading light Our bodies pulsed with heat that's not dependent on the stars And willingly we moved along into the night But the cold slipped in when we'd only just begun The falling feeling of a disappearing day We learned to bury it inside, say everything will be alright But every once in awhile we remember life falls away

3.	In the Flood 07:06	lyrics	buy track
We want to bring those good times back, the best that we recall But the old memories, they get the best of me, and the reality begins to call In a world with a digital well, where old commitments go to die If we get thrown in, will it underpin the space where we reside Undressed when the action divides, so cleanly from the song When the sexual becomes conceptual, is it living proof we're loving all wrong In the thick of a quickening flood, that collapses us all down to one We could distill it, separate and then kill it, but in time we'd be remembered by no one Keep up, stay down Move through, look around Stay with, fall behind Hold on to passing time In the flood

5.	You Show You 03:48	lyrics	buy track
A bright flash, a second look with separated sight The fast life, high speed in the current of the light Looks good, imprint your purpose in the scene Feels cold, at night in the honestly of dreams You held eyes, now they waver and they're wandering away Breaks down, when the dependence over-welcomed it to stay You held a smile, in a vain attempt at holding back your fears And it's shattering distractions that were swallowing the years You show you, to show me What you do, what you see You show you, you're washed clean Perceive you, through your screen You show you, to show me You know you, you're set free You show you, in your scene You stage you, make believe The sun sets, as it falls you put yourself into its path You see it through, you feel it chew you up and tear your heart in half You chase the light, despite suspecting where the path you walk will end And now your former self is swallowed but you've been spit out again So you decide, to look alive with no commitment to step back You search self, in a picture as a place to interact Still holding hope, the sun will come around and blind you with the thought That you'll lie in the light again and be the person you're not You show you, to show me What you do, what you see You show you, you're washed clean Perceive you, through your screen You show you, to show me You know you, you're set free You show you, in your scene You show you, you show you

9.	Hold You Down 06:37	lyrics	buy track
You brightened all you touched but you're convinced that you belong to the night When you walk away you feel alone and still you say it feels right I could have sworn you had convictions in your heart but now I can't remember when Every time I see your face I wonder will I ever see it again The scene dissolves around you and you don't care if they say that it holds you down Everywhere you go you look for night time neon glow does it hold you down You turn your head away from all the beauty on display and it holds you down You know that losing what you had, it doesn't have to hurt so bad that it holds you down Hold you down When you were living in the north you said there's nothing neon here it's just cold It was the first time that you woke up and you didn't just feel tired, you felt old Searching for yourself you only found the piece that's left of what they took And now you're slipping out of sight from all the effort that you put into your look The scene dissolves around you and you don't care if they say that it holds you down Everywhere you go you look for night time neon glow does it hold you down You turn your head away from all the beauty on display and it holds you down You know that losing what you had, it doesn't have to hurt so bad that it holds you down Hold you down

12.	Summerheart 08:01	lyrics	buy track
Born for the sunlight of the summer With no great love to weather winter cold Wide eyes on the unclear horizon Riding highways leading there as there unfolds And you look (you see yourself) The window's down (more than most can see themselves) We dream our look, we take the angles we prefer And you know (the shape of change) The wind picks up (a shape that moves around the edges of your lights) Sometimes it hides, sometimes it's bright And you drive (you drive yourself) The wind cuts through (a trace of light against the dark) You ride the lines to find some truth And that defines you in our eyes On roads that move in all directions You're moving in all ways but always through Beyond the wreckages around you You move to keep the sun within your view White knuckle grip holding the wheel The gears fall into place for some control You fight for space when you're surrounded And the works in the wheelhouse never seem to slow And you look (you see yourself) The window's down (more than most can see themselves) We dream our look, we take the angles we prefer And you know (the shape of change) The wind picks up (a shape that moves around the edges of your lights) Sometimes it hides, sometimes it's bright And you drive (you drive yourself) The wind cuts through (a trace of light against the dark) You ride the lines to find some truth inside the night And you know (the sting of loss) The wind moves fast The air cuts through The storm moves past

filled to bursting with horror and bugs, but also extremely addictive synth and guitar work. instances of industrial synth and gothic rock, with a terrible feeling of dread permeating it that I adore. so much to love in such a small package. very solid, sinister release. palehorse666
