NOTES FROM THE PAST

Well this reunion seems a joke!! Don't get me wrong, the present work is pretty good and well arranged too, but this time Roine Stolt and Hans Lundin, original members of Kaipa,have performed a kind of emulation, concerning the recent stuff by Flower Kings, instead of looking for a more personal way, to be runned by Kaipa...Jonas Reingold on bass guitar and, interesting situation, Patrik Lundström from Ritual as a vocalist, are simply remarkable guests, but their contribution to this "Notes from the past" is not so much important..to me this work could be essential for the collectors of the whole production of Stolt only.As a matter of fact the present issue seems to be planned by Stolt and Lundin alone, probably with a noble purpose:get more of new fans and let the old ones be attracted by this new project (I don't know whether it's a true personal concept by Stoilte or not, but it never minds...).So at the end there's nothing new on the edge of this new attempt by Roine: He's trying to give lushness to the old stuff by Kaipa also in the next years ; check this album out, at least, as you could give it a chance!!
