Oortcloud

The Hermit With The Permit

About Me

Oortcloud was created in early 2006 by producer and musician Clive Murrell. The UFO wave of 1977 across the St.Brides Bay region of Pembrokeshire, South West Wales has an influential effect over the sounds produced along with the ethereal and mysterious Sussex countryside. Also, a major inspiration in making this music is directed towards forward/free-thinkers TC Lethbridge, William Stukeley and Julian Cope.******************************************************* ************************************************************ ************************************************************ ****** Oortcloud's first release is a 5 track CDR-EP 100 copy only limited edition disc available in Spring 2007 - SOLD OUT!!!
