“Formed in 2017, Belgian outfit Beat Love Oracle are composed of some of the leading lights in both the classical and jazz spheres. This eccentric, genre-bending quartet could best be described as a fusion of jazz, electronica, and contemporary classical. Or, to quote Alan Freeman of Audion Magazine:
Beat Love Oracle play a lively instrumental fusion, of the Canterbury meets RIO type, with influences as diverses as Carla Bley, Gong, Henry Cow, National Health, The Muffins and The Mothers, plus diversions to other territory.”
