INGET NYTT UNDER SOLEN

The title means "nothing new under the sun", but on their sophomore effort Kaipa advanced and evolved their sound appreciably, creating a distinct and original style of mellow, melodic prog which proves that even though their more recent releases have been tailored for retro- prog fans, back in the day they were more than able to push the symphonic genre into wholly new directions. With Roine Stolt's guitar work and Hans Lundin's keys working in perfect concert together, the band craft a true prog masterpiece which, alas, came out at precisely the wrong time to attain international attention. Which is a shame, because this deserves to be in the classic prog canon.
