Post-60s, post-acid, the Khalsa people, like the Quintessence crew in UK, get high on full blown love affair with God. Sikhism is the KSB alternative spirituality of choice but happily - hippily? - take a broad brush to paint their rainbow:
It doesn't really matter to what religion you belong,
How short your hair is or even how long
We all come from one Creator.
It doesn't really matter how you call His name,
Allah, Jehovah, Sar Nam, it's all the same.
- One Creator
Nice dream. Nice music too. All the better for sticking to guitar, bass, drums, flute and piano rather than essay some tabla sitar-psych freakout. Vinyl rip flutter adds to the period charm. So, put aside cynicism and be upstanding for righteousness, sunshine and play.
Tracklist:
1. One Creator
2. Child's Play
3. You Can Make the Sun Shine
4. All for One
5. Stand for Righteousness
6. America
7. Harvest Time
8. Song of Bliss
9. Oh Guru Ram Das
Oddi wrth y brawd
drama gurus oh

I just discovered this band by accident on youtube. I am now absolutely enamoured with track #3, I've been listening to it on repeat every morning. Just googled them up and discovered this blog, so I am doubly happy :)
You, yes you, can make the sun shine.
Could you please re-up. Can't find the album anywhere else.
Just like Griech, I've been looking all over for this - a re-up would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
