Rain Stars Eternal. The Album.

One year in its creation & representing the first full album from Solarstone as a solo artist, 'Rain Stars Eternal' is the new 'year one' for founder member Rich Mowatt. The album - released on the 19th of May 2008 - pushes the borders of Trance into Progressive & Chillout and yet further beyond. The album coaleses state-of-the-art production & wonderfully creative songwriting with haunting, evocative vocal performances from some of the most talented singers in the world.

It  is a beautifully designed 11 track eclectic mixture of styles, from the classic Solarstone trance sound to sultry deep house, from avant garde electronica to big room electro and massive orchestrated downtempo soundtracks, featuring brilliant musicians and vocalists alongside Rich Solarstone's renowned production skills. Vocalists include Elizabeth Fields ('Part Of Me'), Julie Scott ('Filoselle Skies'), Essence ('Lunar Rings') & Alex Karweit ('Break Away').

The album is supported by a fully branded world tour which kicks off in early May.

 RSE The Single. Out Now. (5/5 Djmag)

‘Late Summer Fields’ - the opening shot from the forthcoming ‘Rain Stars Eternal’ long-player hinted at big things for the album… Doing nothing to dent that notion, here’s the title single. The original mix tacks nimbly between the outer markers of prog and trance, cruising on its stunning, stark, tubular riff and 131 bpm tempo. Having taken Single of the Week on ASOT, the Agnelli & Nelson mix ramps the beats up to 138, adding buckets of main-room appeal in the process.

 Mr Sam & Andy Duguid ft Solarstone

Rich has added his dulcet vocal tones to a fantastic progressive club track produced by Mr Sam and Andy Duguid. The track is entitled 'Hold My Breath' and will be exclusively available for the next few months on the forthcoming Mr Sam comp. 'Opus Secundo'. Remixes will follow from Andy Duguid and Rich Solarstone himself.

The Original mix is a deep and dark progressive track with a massive bassline, heavily distorted guitar tones and beautiful orchestrated breakdown, to which Rich has contributed a poignant and emotional vocal. Andy Duguid's mix follows his more prog-house orientated sound, whilst the Solarstone club mix is set to pull out all the stops and be a complete club monster. The track will also feature on Mr Sams forthcoming artist album, and also on Andy Duguids forthcoming Black Hole debut. Check out a clip here soon.
