Creation

Husband and wife team Johnima and Kalassu Wintergate are Lightstorm: globetrotting musical collaborators retransmitting messages of love from their teacher and Avatar Sathya Sai Baba. Since 1973, the Lightstorm discography has been issued under a variety of aliases (Creation Earth, 331/3, Teeth) unknown to all but the most obsessed vinyl casualties. Johnima and Kalassu are probably best known for their twisted, ridiculously entertaining 1982 shot-on-video horror-comedy classic 'Boardinghouse'. The ever-unpredictable Drag City / Yoga Records now present the first-ever Lightstorm collection. 'Creation' fuses the best tracks from the spiritual concept double LP 'Who Am I: One' (1977) and sensual glam rock killer '331/3' (1980, recently featured in the 'Enjoy The Experience' private press book). 11 pieces of riveting catchy, psych- glam-weirdness, 'Creation' captures both sides of Lightstorm. Soar with 'Let Your Astral Body Fly' and rut with 'Missionary Is Impossible'.
