The first version of KAIPA (1973-1982) recorded five albums and became the leading Scandinavian progressive rock band. In 2000 Hans reformed the band and invited original Kaipa guitar player Roine Stolt to participate in the recording of the come back album “Notes from the past” together with Morgan Ågren, Jonas Reingold, Patrik Lundström and Aleena Gibson. This line-up recorded two more remarkable albums “Keyholder” 2003 and “Mindrevolutions” 2005.

Kaipa definitely proves that they are one of the leading outfits in today’s world of innovative and progressive music. They are not afraid of plunging into new areas while they still carry their glorious traditions with pride into a new era.

Some reviews:

Exciting excursions into a timeless universe of progressive rock.

It's jaw-dropping, eyes full of wonder, joyous listening.

It sounds really Swedish summer night, or Swedish forest land so enchanting and magical where the banks of fog at dawn are dense and ready to make room for the sun that just wants to raise and warm the meadows with aromas of flowers and moist earth.

There are very few progressive bands who are composing music that really carries the same feeling of experimentality and curiosity about blending music into a cohesive whole that is at once intellectually stimulating, catchy and engaging.

Extremely strong compositions, beautiful melodies and yet unmistakably Kaipa.

Kaipa truly smash up the musical barriers that restrict so many artists, never allowing them to reach their potential.

Another tried and true testament to classic progressive rock with a modern flare -still knowing no boundaries when pressing on with their compositional approach and showing that the headroom is unlimited when it comes to executing an impressive musical mindset.

This is powerful, imaginative, passionate music delivered by a great crew.
