Sounds Like: Kind Words By Other People:
"As the man behind Brainlove you'd expect John Rogers aka Thee Oracle to create something as fresh and experimental as the music he puts out and he's not one to disappoint - a fittingly haunting and eerie sound to match Shunt's ghostly atmosphere." - Kruger Magazine
"People gathered together and slowly what began with a simple E major drone became a massive ball of harmonious/abrasive sound. People, mesmerised, joined onto the group, and everyone around seemed transfixed by what was happening." - Stuff We Like
"‘Gathering slowly amongst people, their voices soared through the air and changed the space and vibrational pull around them." - PHUKMUK
My first recording 'Sunny Graveyard' can be found on this compilation CD. It's from just before 'The' became 'Thee', but it's on there nonetheless.
I am working on my first collection of recordings now. It will be called "I Used To Feel Like Nothing Could Break Us Apart". If anyone would like to talk to me about releasing it, email me here .
