    Dancing to Restore an Eclipsed Moon is the debut studio album of American post-punk band Red Temple Spirits. It was released in 1988 on the Nate Starkman & Son label, a subsidiary of Fundamental.

    Rock critic Piero Scaruffi praised the album, calling it a “ponderous masterpiece” and writing, “The extravagant mysticism [...] had few or no precedents. It rehashed emotional debris left buried under the cosmic and ritualistic hymn of ‘Interstellar Overdrive’, under the psychotic and metaphysical melodrama of ‘The End’, under the apocalyptic frenzy of ‘Sister Ray’, while scouring medieval fairy tales, Tibetan mantras, whirling sufi dances and gothic ballads for intimations of supernatural existence.”
