Oracle

CD was distributed as a bonus item available through the label's online mail order, when purchasing the vinyl LP, and later as an unannounced bonus to mail orders of other Southern Lord releases. The artwork for the 1xCD is misprinted; it is the same as the 2xCD version, and so incorrectly lists the second disc included in the 2xCD version and featuring the extra track, "Helio)))sophist." The track is also (incorrectly) referred to in the liner notes below. Liner Notes: 'ORAKULUM was originally composed for a live performance collaboration with the New York sculptor Banks Violette at the Maureen Paley Gallery in London, June of 06. Violette created sculptural representation of SUNN O)))s [sic] entire backline in cast resin and salt, including amplifier stacks, instruments, effects & accompaniments. In addition, black laquered stage platforms and sound panels were created as a basis for the groups [sic] actual backline setup, and a selection of drawings were presented within the context. The result of this performance and collaboration, which was conducted in a sealed gallery space, was intended to generate a feeling of absence, loss and a phantom of what once was. Along with the experiment BELÜLROL PUSZTÍT, it is intended as a document of SUNN O)))s [sic] interpretation of such said collaboration. HELIO)))SOPHIST is an audial collage comprised of performances in Europe from July 05 and appears solely in this edition.' Special thanks to Banks Violette & Maureen Paley.
