Lite Storm ‎– "God Is Love" (Beverly Hills ‎– BH 1136) 1973

I fear we must return briefly to Religious Exploitation,but with a psychedelic flavour, with this tribute to Christ reincarnation and kiddie fiddler, Sai Baba.(Checkout one of his fabulousy creepy albums HERE!)
What did Kali Bahlu do after her supremely child-like psychsploitation album "Cosmic Remembrance"? You have no doubt been asking yourself? After much tossing and turning at night, Sai Baba sent me the answer from the child abusers Hell he now finds his soul trapped in.
Kali Bahlu, or Kallasu Wintergate,was in a Psychedelic Xian duo with her husband John Wintergate or Johnima .P Bahlu, called 'Lite Storm' ,stupid!
I think they like Sai Baba.....a lot. What their thoughts on said cult leader today are not known;but they've dedicated a whole album dedicated to praising this now deceased God on earth,complete with Afro.

Here are the Bahlu's with their god,dunno where Sai Baba's hands are? Watch out Kali,who's on the left,and her hubby,on the right, bares more than a passing resemblance to Jesus H. Christ. Sai Baba, centre,looks a bit like Kevin Keegan during the Hamburg years.

Kali, at least seems to have matured as a singer since the 'Cosmic Rembrance' album,and is far less irritating on this outing.If you can see pass the obvious madness, this is actually a pleasantly weird record by this folky twosome.Oh they're soooooo 'Happy'!?
Om Shanti.

Kali Bahlu ‎– "Takes the Forest Children on a Journey of Cosmic Remembrance" (World Pacific Records ‎– WPS-21875) 1967

Kali gets a telephone call from Buddha(pronounced 'Boodah'), who is drinking coffee, and she exclaims excitedly that "BUDDHA drinks COFFEE?!"......one among many startling revelations about the speedily oncoming 'After-Life'.

Kali believes that if you're 'good' you'll get to live again as a pretty butterfly or a Bird of Paradise.....a grave pity then that the insect population, butterflys in paticular are 80% down due to 'Bad' human activity, and Birds of Paradise are verging on extinction for the very same reasons.Maybe its because Humans are soooo naughty that they aren't being reincarnated as Butterflys any more, except Kali of course, and its therefore a savage circle spiraling into nothingness.

There are still lots of silly Hippies like Kali who comfort themselves with wet philosophies like this diluted version of Buddhism,where everything's going to be fine, and NO,we're not all just biological machines waiting for the Off switch to be flicked by mother nature. Its a comforting thought that we may be reincarnated as a fluffy bunny wabbit,but the reality is, sadly, that you'll be munched down as food by a passing Fox the minute your fluffy head raises above the surface.As for being reincarnated as a higher human,there must be a massive queue in the waiting zone for your assigned higher form of sentient Human, because there are more people alive right now than have ever lived.....so much for the one in one out theory of rebirth.

None of this enters the fluffy dream world of Kali Bahlu, whoever she was,or is now; spoken in the voice of a slightly sarchastic sounding little girl,or, childrens TV presenter, backed up with shimmering sitars and special effects.
The lyrics of her infantile peons to the after-life make a primary school girls creative writing classes recollections of 'What I did On My Holidays' seem almost Shakesperian in their comparative complexity.
