Dale Pantalione formed Liquid Eclipse in 1995, with guitarist/collaborator Chad Sainson, out of the ashes of several local South Jersey "super-groups". The band has had interchangeable members, with Pantalione and Sainson as the main songwriters.
******************************************************
Liquid Eclipse's early psychadelic garage sound was fueled by Pantalione's fuzzed out lead bass, and Sainson's Syd Barrett-inspired rhythm guitar playing. Their trippy stage shows dubbed "the Psychadelic Lounge Act" were spectacles in light and sound, and they incorporated liquid light projection and stage presence that was parallel to Pink Floyd in the 1960's, while other local bands were playing punk and metal. They managed to amass a cult following, playing their blissed-out opuses, pulsating and whimsical original songs, to fans at outdoor festivals small clubs, and eventually larger venues. Fans often bootlegged their live performances because there was never an official album. So the band self-released several DIY e.p.s, which showed a major progression in their sound, with every line-up change.
******************************************************
The departure of Chadd Sainson, in 2001, saw Pantalione take the sound into a new direction. The result of a band breaking up produced "PLAGUED BY PHASES"--hailed by fans as their sonic masterwork. On the album, Dale explored electronic, world music, and ambient soundscapes, using the studio as an instrument. Pantalione financed the painstaking and final Liquid Eclipse recording sessions on his own, and worked with a bunch of session musicians to create a polished sound.
******************************************************
Although Liquid Eclipse as a band has been on hold since 2001, Dale Pantalione has continually released a couple of solo albums a year, on Elsewhere Records, which he formed in 1997. He still manages to create new and experimental music from textures,found objects, and electronics. As a very productive artist, he's divided his time composing soundtrack music for several indie films, produced/wrote songs for other bands, and collaborated on projects such as Identical Strangers with Kent Green. He is planning to play some live solo shows with a backing band, and eventually re-form a new line-up of Liquid Eclipse. Dale is also currently writing new songs for the next Liquid Eclipse album "THE ELEMENTS" for 2006!
