Biography
"The music still runs through my head at odd moments, and some of it I can
sing."
- Larry Niven
"How come such a gifted writer also gets to have such a beautiful voice?
Wonderful songs and great backup in a brilliantly produced album. Thanks to
Julia and her friends, science-fiction takes the lead in yet another art
form."
- David Brin
The year was 1986. The singer was only twenty-two, but since childhood she
had been captivated by the worlds of wonder and imagination that she
discovered in fantasy and science fiction.
In later years, she would become a John W. Campbell award-winning writer of
science fiction stories and novels, but for now she poured all her imagination
and creativity into crafting songs that combined haunting beauty with a
sweeping narrative style.
The result was Divine Intervention, an album that shattered the boundaries of
science fiction and music with delicate orchestral and pulse-pounding rock
settings of Julia Ecklar's song-stories.
Prometheus Music is delighted to unveil this long-awaited CD edition of Divine
Intervention. And after hundreds of requests from fans and over twenty years of
anticipation, Julia is now recording a sequel album, "Indistinguishable from
Magic", slated for release in early 2009.
