i went 4 years in a row from 2004-2007.... '05 and '06 kicked ass and were at the same location where it will take place this year. its a very magical place on the earth, IMO; you can feel it as soon as you arrive. the only time I (or my friends at the time) have ever seen a UFO was during a psychedelic experience at eclipse 06. also, I believe the river has special healing properties...you should really go swimming at least once!
the sound system was always top notch, and the local dj's are all good; mostly str8 psychedelic, hardly any cheese or dark/trauma stuff. chill area is always really good too.
i really like the trance family in QC... very warm, open, genuine, funny, interesting. despite them living in their own little world, they are very receptive to visitors.
i recommend you go!

YEP!!indeed Eclipse is one of a kind, id say without a doubt that is the best trance festival on the east coast if not in north america, and ive seen plenty. If your not in europe.... you definatly should go.Big sound, big line up,big deco instalation,top notch organisation,everything usully run super smothly, and I guess that yes Quebec people are kinda funny and peculiar.

Quebec City (the old town) was really nice. Even though it's a total tourist trap, it was still very pretty and we spent 2 days walking around. Montreal had this cool sophisticated urban vibe and i totally dug that. We randomly stumbled onto a Comedy Festival, where they had a couple of streets around the venue blocked off with tons of food, drinks, people doing various performances (beatboxing, breakdancing, funk bands, stand up of course, etc). So that was really fun. Spent a few hours in downtown Ottawa (Parliament Hill) and thought it was pretty cool architecturally/visually. Then we stopped by Toronto after the fest and I didn't really like it. Mainly because the traffic was just ridiculous and drivers were dicks. The highlight was just meeting up with some people we met at the fest. But I didn't really get a good vibe from the city itself. And then Niagara Falls is another total tourist trap, but I thought it was still worth to walk around and do the typical touristy things that people do there (particularly, Cave of the Winds).
Overall, we had a really good time. But Eclipse was definitely the highlight of the whole thing. Too bad it doesn't look like it's happening again next year (from the rumors I've heard).
