Edison’s Children, the collaboration between Hollywood SFX technician Eric Blackwood, Rick Armstrong (son of the first man, Neil Armstrong) and Pete Trewavas (bassist from prog legends Marillion & Transatlantic) return with their fifth album, A Light In Ethereal Night, to be released on September 4th, 2026.
The album is the second instalment in a trilogy which began in 2011 with In The Last Waking Moments. That record told the story of a man distraught after experiencing something he could neither explain nor prove, left suspended between two incendiary possibilities: was his “alien abduction” real, or was he descending into madness? The 15-minute Epic “The Awakening” ended without resolution. A Light In Ethereal Night picks up the story exactly where it left off.
On this podcast, Pete, Eric, and Rick talk about the making of the new album, the concept, and more.

A Light In Ethereal Night releases on September 4th on Random Disturbance Records and will be available on CD, 180g vinyl (remastered for enhanced bass by Rush/Porcupine Tree’s Andy Van Dette) & streaming services.
