At 1.00pm EST on 22 July 2009, Empire Of The Sun sent this exclusive broadcast of 6 minutes and 39 seconds in length to soundtrack the longest solar eclipse of the 21st century.

This total eclipse that took place throughout the Asia Pacific region is predicted not to be surpassed for length until the year 2132.

… but we have two questions:
1. How come only Luke Steele appears in this video and his partner in crime Nick Littlemore is missing in action?
2. What’s with the new sound dudes? We’re not mad at it, but it not your normal opus of sound!
