Al Gromer Khan - Tantra Drums (1998)
New Earth Records / NE9803
Al Gromer Khan (aka Aloysius Gromer) earned the right to use the name "Khan" by demonstrating master proficiency on the sitar. Tantra Drums is a set of ethnic electro-tribal ambience based on the ritualism of an ancient Shakti cult.
Tantra contains dark and exotic rituals and deep spirituality. Modern culture has bastardized the term, so Khan has composed, arranged, and performed these soundscapes in modern poetic parlance in order to preserve both the erotic and spiritual meanings. The music is deep and hot. Khan's atmospheres surround the rhythms; his sitar compliments the atmospheres. The ethnic overtones complete his soundworld. Deep listening is a must for this lush and full soundscape.
