Trails of ambergris
Mellow Records MMP 505 (released december 2008)

Two years after the acclaimed “Opus”, the Yleclipse come back with an outstanding studio cd titled “Trails of ambergris”; the which project features eight tracks, coherently with their peculiar “canvas”, which consists of six full-arrangement tracks plus two acoustic instrumentals. For those of you who are acquainted with the Yleclipse music, “Opus” was the final chapter of an alchemy-related trilogy based on the three states of the chemical “opus”; nigredo, rubedo, and albedo, the latter being symbolic of spiritual rebirth. The fore-mentioned “Trails of ambergris” focuses on adventures and venturers at sea, as there have been plenty over the centuries. In particular the narration deals with those who hit the sardinian coast, in 1792-1793, during the french Revolution. Some of the eight tracks were conceived as “freely inspired” to some events which occurred along the shores of Sardinia, where the french were repeatedly defeated by the local militia and regular troops of the (then) Kingdom of Sardinia. This is by no means a statement from an historical perspective, neither a celebration of crowns and households. “Trails of ambergris” is about being forced and picked up from the chosen occupations, being labeled as mad “blowers” when not following the line. Moreover, this new Yleclipse works is about trying to maintain a personal perspective, and holding fast to our dreams. To sum up, those songs speak of liberty and freedom of conscience.

Opus
Mellow Records MMP 485 (2006)


Hear ye! Hear ye! We gladly announce the up-coming release of "Opus", the most "progressive" of the Yleclipse chemical trilogy. The cd features eight tracks, recorded between november 2004 - march 2005, the which lyrics focus on the state of "albedo" representing a spiritual and musical rebirth. Structures and chordal textures have increased their complexity, as well as the vocal efforts, and clearly mark the trip taken by the band into wider musical areas. Acoustic guitars in irish tuning, hammond, flutes, acid and grunting guitars, often enriched with ambient effects to dub swirling rythmical lines, make of "Opus" the most colourful and imaginative Yleclipse record.

Higher & Higher - A tribute to the Moody Blues
Mellow Records MMP 481 A/B/C (2005)


The Yleclipse proudly claim their participation to this challenging Mellow Records project, with the cover of the famous hit "I'm just a singer in a rock'n'roll band", listed in cd C. The making of this tribute, which comes in triple cd box set, has involved 30 bands from all over the world, including honourable and well-know bands such as (among the others), Yolk from Switzerland and Flamborough Head from the Netherlands.

Prime Substance
Mellow Records MMP 441 (2003)

“Prime Substance”; the Yleclipse are proud to announce the release of their second creative effort titled “Prime Substance”. The cd, soon available in all specialized stores, is the final result of a three-months busy recording period (June-August 2002). The track-list features eight songs, sung both in English and Italian, according to the Yleclipse “established” tradition. The title-track, “Prime substance”, combines and resumes in itself the “prime criteria” of the band, as far as composition is concerned; contrived structure, powerful sounds, and a delicate touch of celtic folk, related to a peculiar airy-fairy atmosphere, capable of warming up the coldest prog-rock hearts . Creativeness and, last but not least, a superior audio quality, make of “Prime Substance” a record which cannot be missed by the “aficionados” of the “genre”.

Mercury and Sulfurus
Arcontes DP001 (2000)

“Mercury and Sulfurus”; it’s the first official Yleclipse cd. Released in September 2000, (the band was then called Eclisse before changing the name to Yleclipse), it features 12 tracks, and it is claimed to be symbolic of a work which spans several years of composition and recording sessions. A wide range of styles is covered by the band on “Mercury”, where long suites such as “Through the meadows”, and highly structured songs as the title-track, composed coherently to the well-known symphonic-rock tradition, coexist with delicate folk ballads, such as “La porta nera” and “La via deserta del Sud Est”.
