LALITA by Gromer Khan written by Steve Sheppard (excerpt) The beauty in a name of a title can sometimes project an energy of perception and on the track “FLOWER CHILD in CLEARING”, we have here a rare moment of a song so descriptive and trance like, it’s a joy to listen to, I was just slightly too young to really sample the era of the hippie, but Gromer Khan sums it up perfectly in this song, his lyrics and the sensitive female replies here, create a real golden summer day revisited in the haze of the 60’s. I recommend this album whole heartedly to anyone who likes real music created with heart, peace and love. Rating *****Excellent "Flower Child In Clearing" attracts by Al's expressively embracing lyricism (featuring words from the poem "Wake" by Timothy Allen) diverged with responding fragile female voice and distant chants of, I believe, Ute Gromer. Additional spectacle of sitar, guitar and piano patterns coalesces with fluttering beats. Al Gromer Khan with his guests, which include except already mentioned Al's wife Ute, also Peter Maunu (guitar noises), Suman Sarkar (tabla) and Emin Corrado (sound treatment), delivers on "Lalita" a truly exceptional piece of music showcasing intricate instrumentation with some of the most unique scents. Sure, as a listener, you need to be fully devoted to these, beyond the ordinary explorations, but as soon you discover these long lasting perfumes, just follow them, because these truly enthralling soundworlds reveal all the magic. And as always they are complemented with spirit, dedication, refinement and exquisiteness!!! Richard Gürtler (May 01, 2015, Bratislava, Slovakia) (Excerpt)
