HÄNDER

After three fantastic albums, Kaipa suddenly decided to cut a deal with ABBA's label Polar Records and go pop, as all other bands at the time and I must say they did pretty well. The sound-quality is amazing, using Polar studios (the same studio that Led Zeppelin used to record their swan song "In through the out door" the year before). The music is warm and colourfull as usuall but much simpler and more easy-listening. Here and there you can hear how they explode, like in the old days, but overall it's rather lame, still beautiful and melodic. Roine Stilt was no longer with the band at this time, making a solo-career instead. It isn't Kaipa as they've sounded in the beginning, but even so it's a nice album. Hasn't been released on CD yet, which is a big shame, but you can easely find a vinyl-rip on theinternet to make a cdr-copy of your own, while waiting for it to be released on CD.
