TONY OXLEY CELEBRATION ORCHESTRA - GÜTERSLOH, GERMANY (May-15-1993)


Recently uploaded by request for a friend, another transcendent set by the great musical Alchemist/Shaman Tony Oxley who is one of our very favourites here at IS.
For me this is transformative ritual urban folk music, for a decaying civilization.
FM BROADCAST in brutaly vivid, superb sound quality ... almost terrifying in its intensity.

Enjoy!!!!
