Kaipa is a Swedish progressive/symphonic rock band led by keyboardist Hans Lundin, notable for a 1975 self-titled debut and the widely praised 1978 album Solo; guitarist Roine Stolt played on the early records and the band reformed in the 2000s.

Founded in the early 1970s by Hans Lundin; early lineup included Roine Stolt on guitar. The 1975 debut and Solo (1978) are frequently cited in reviews; the band was active in the 1970s, split in the early 1980s and reformed in the 2000s (with Lundin and Stolt among returning members).

DeBaser hosts a small set of appreciative reviews for Kaipa, emphasizing their 1970s symphonic progressive work and later comeback material. Reviews highlight Hans Lundin's keyboards, Roine Stolt's early guitar work, and folk/psychedelic touches. Key recommended listening: the 1975 debut and the 1978 Solo album.

For:Fans of progressive/symphonic rock and listeners of Camel, ELP, and The Flower Kings.

 Surprising Northern Fairy Tale by Kaipa, authors, in 1975, of a remarkable (self-titled) symphonic progressive album, not devoid of folk influences and psychedelic references.

 The beautiful come-back album, "Notes From The Past" (from 2002), is entirely composed by Lundin even though, stylistically, a clear "flowerkingization" of the compositions is evident, a direct consequence, perhaps, of Stolt's overwhelming personality.

 Wikipedia is right "Solo" is truly a masterpiece that I recommend to any music lover, even those not strictly progressive, if at first listen it doesn't convince you, give it time, trust me, and you'll find this album will win you over.
