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