Krom Lek biography
UK act KROM LEK was formed in mid 80's, although they sported the name Tardis in the first years of their existence. They were not a typical band as such; in interviews they refered to themselves as more of a collective, with a stable core unit consisting of Dave Musgrove (guitar), Shaun Bazz Barrie (bass) and John Musgrove (drums); while other musicians came and went over the years.

Krom Lek didn't officially appear as a recording unit until the late 90's, and after a flurry of releases around the millenium the members of the band moved on to various side projects from 2003 or thereabouts.

The current status of the band is unknown; their last releases - 2 CD compilations with a totalt of 31 tracks spanning the bands entire career - was issued in 2006.

A Breath Of Fresh Air
Krom Lek Psychedelic/Space Rock

Review by mrclarinet

— First review of this album —

Perhaps more spacerock than progressive rock but nonetheless a very interesting album. Recently reissued on the Falling A label. The latest in the Krom Lek reissues, "A Breath of Fresh Air," blending Ozrics and Gong influences into a festival psychedelic extravaganza. The album seamlessly melds intricate space jams with dancey rave beats, reminiscent of classic Gong jams with cosmic guitars and tribal percussion. Adept songwriting and studio embellishments capture the true pulse of Stone Premonitions / Falling A catalogue identity.

Funky psychedelic rock and cool world music grooves with references to Hawkwind and Amon Duul 2, Krom Lek masterfully navigates various styles, from tranquil to frenetic, evoking mystical and spiritual themes. Their music transports listeners on cosmic voyages while also delivering solid ska-beat/dub tracks for energetic moshing sessions.

Throughout the album, Krom Lek's musicianship remains top-notch, with Dave, Tonksy, Bazz, and John leading the charge alongside talented accomplices. The result is 40 minutes of neo-psychedelic bliss, blending Irish folk sounds, rock rhythms, and tight guitar riffs into a captivating sonic journey.

Whether you're a Gong aficionado or a lover of cosmic jams, Krom Lek's latest offering promises an exhilarating experience, firmly establishing them as stalwarts of the genre.

Thanks to windhawk for the artist addition.
