‘Oracle’ is a magical musical journey blending elements of ambient, new age and electronic space
music with a touch of the avant-garde. A follow-up to their 2017 release, ‘Prophecy’, ‘Oracle’ is a far
more varied and yet more focussed work. Strong synth and sequence passages by David Wright
along with his adept arrangements are complemented by the evocative and sublime vocal textures of
Carys. The additional choir and string orchestration by David add an almost cinematic feel to
proceedings.
12 varied tracks blend effortlessly together, forming one complete 78 minute opus. This is an epic
synth and choral symphony and presents music for the heart, mind and soul on a grandiose scale.
Atmospheric vistas laced with mysterious beauty present haunting passages that are intertwined with
hypnotic and evolving sequences providing gentle rhythmic motion that is all held together by
memorable musical themes.
‘Oracle’ incorporates all the best elements of the new age and electronic space music genres. From
the thematic to gentle ambience, from glorious sequences and rhythms to the evocative and ethereal
vocal textures of Carys…’Oracle’ ebbs and flows through it all, taking the listener on a journey
through the cosmos that they will want to revisit time and time again.
