Record/Vinyl + Digital Album
"Double Eclipse", the second Geodesium album, was released in 1981 in LP form. Shortly after its 1981 release, the audio compact disc format was introduced, and vinyl LPs kind of faded into obscurity. While we sold most of our initial pressing, we were left with several boxes of 12" phono albums, which have been in storage ever since. These days vinyl seems to be making a comeback, though, so if you're into it, we can accommodate you! Order the LP while quantities last! Discs are in their original shrink wrap.

about

Double Eclipse, the second Geodesium album, was released in 1981 in LP and cassette form. NASA used some of the selections during its TV coverage of the Voyager Encounters at Saturn and Uranus. It consists of nine electronically-realized musical compositions. Of the five original works, one is a clever bouncy tune featuring two electronic "dancers" and a synthesizer rock drummer. Two space-music-style pieces musically explore the inter-galactic reaches. Another work is a driving and intense rocker, and one is the world's first electronic-disco-bluegrass combination — a real toe-tapper! There are four transcriptions: J. S. Bach and Johannes Pachelbel for the classical music enthusiast, and two contemporary works by Wilke Renwick and W. Francis McBeth.

The original vinyl LP has been out of print for many years. In 1999, the album was digitally remastered, with a bonus track from the same time period not included on the original: a 6-minute piece called Lightspell. First recorded as entrance music for the 1980 version of the planetarium show "Light Years From Andromeda," only a couple dozen copies were distributed, so it's a rarity!

2020 Note: Shortly after its 1981 release, the audio compact disc format was introduced, and vinyl LPs kind of faded into obscurity.
