The music is the light (Kaipa) (LP 2913)

Kaipa  kaipa (CD, KWP, 1975) ****  

Genre: Swedish prog rock

Places I remember: Keegan gave me a copy of this.

Fab, and all the other pimply hyperboles
Oceaner föder liv (English: Oceans Give Birth to Life) (not available on Spotify or YouTube) 

Gear costume
Förlorad i Istanbul (English: Lost in Istanbul) (not available on Spotify or YouTube)

They loom large in his legend (The Album Collection playlists): Part 1Part 2Part 3Part 4

Active compensatory factors: Kaipa's debut album is heavy on orchestral rock.

In hindsight, guitarist Roine Stolt is the band's main man. He is probably better known for his work in the Flower Kings, but Kaipa is where he started as a 17-year-old.

The band provide melodic, symphonic style prog songs with vocals in Swedish.

It all floats by in a lovely fashion. For fans of Barclay James Harvest, The Moody Blues and Focus at their jazzyist. 

Where do they all belong? A nice addition to the prog files. Thanks Keegan.
