Black "Что слушать? Посоветуйте..." За много лет я напрочь "заездил" своих любимых Jethro Tull, ELP, Yes, Deep Purple, Pink Floyd и пр. Мне нравятся инструментальные композиции с длинными "безбашенными" импровизациями, например, ELP или Liquid Tension Experiment. Например, Genesis я тоже очень люблю, но, в принципе, для меня они слишком "спокойные". В чисто гитарных группах ("Rush", "Led Zeppelin" или Satriani мне не хватает клавишных. Я добросовестно вычитывал и слушал, что предлагается на тему "прог", но - "не цепляет". Скажу сразу - меня разочаровал прог. металл типа Ayreon, Dream Theater или King Diamond. (Советовали мне System Of A Down - тут я молчу). Из появившегося за 90-е годы, что меня поразило, это Liquid Tension Experiment и Happy Family (Япония) - просто супер! Жду советов. Заранее благодарен. |

Tushkan Попробуй что-нибудь из ретро-прогрессива - Flower Kings, двойник бывшего лидера-солиста Спокс Бирд - Neal Morse "Testimony", обязательно - Tangent - The Music That Died Alone, можно еще Kaipa "Keyholder" и оба диска Transatlantic. Что-нибудь из такого попробуй - вставляет не на шутку взято оттуда ![]() тот славный год был прямо-таки вдоль и поперек отмечен разнообразными возвращениями. Возвращаются буквально все - полузабытые старинные хард-рокеры, жуткие поп-герои двадцатилетней давности, пыльные легенды и прочие. Обычно от такого только страшно становится, но с прогрессив-рокерами эти "камбэковые" фокусы выглядят не столь удручающе. Поскольку прогрессивность изначально определяет некий фундамент их творчества, внезапно выплывшие на поверхность истории прог-банды не кажутся чем-то порочным и гнилостным. Наоборот - иногда это очень даже радостно. Вот шведская прог-группа KAIPA, например, тоже решила порадоваться жизни - после двадцати лет каких-то темных и совершенно не общественных разрозненных дел они собрались и записали альбом. И собираются записать еще один, и поехать в турне, и вообще всячески демонстрируют признаки второго дыхания. Если вы плохо помните, поясняю - да, это те самые KAIPA из 70-х, которые звучали похоже на KING CRIMSON и ранних PINK FLOYD и всячески радовали своим атмосферным эстетством и легким налетом шведского фолка. Их возвращение удивительно - посему нельзя было не поговорить с одним из участников этой замечательной группы, клавишником Hans Lundin. Правда, пришлось начать несколько некорректно, но вопрос, что называется, стоял ножом у горла и не желал отступать...читаем дальше |

thanks to my friends ![]() ![]() Released: 2003 Label: InsideOut / Inside Out Music America Cat. No.: SPV 085-65982 / IOMCD 132 / IOMACD 2064 Total Time: 77:03 http://www.progressiveworld.net/kaipa6.html Reviewed by: John "Bo Bo" Bollenberg, September 2003 When Hans Lundin teamed up with his good friend Roine Stolt again in order to record the album Notes From The Past virtually everyone thought it concerned a pure one-off. The number of positive reviews got Lundin thinking. Meanwhile the contract with Musea would soon expire and Inside Out had shown an interest in re-releasing Kaipa’s first three albums in remastered form and including bonus tracks. These bonus tracks might be pulled from the three singles the band released or include tracks from the band’s forth and fifth albums Hander and Nattdjurstid which were never released on CD in their own right. The sudden interest in Kaipa, plus the fact that Lundin could enlist some great musicians, gave him extra energy to continue delivering outstanding music under the moniker of Kaipa. As on Notes From The Past Ritual singer Patrik Lundstrom steps forward as being the band’s lead singer, although we should also mention Aleena whose rather naive sounding voice blends ever so well with the Mellotron during "A Complex Work Of Art." By adding drummer Morgan Agren, who used to play with Zappa, and bass player Jonas Reingold, the band fuses some jazz references into their original music. The music of the current Kaipa still is based around the same parameters as in their early days, so do expect a fair amount of pure seventies sounds and tons of analogue keys. Next to the elaborate arrangements you can also expect a lot of rhythm changes and breaks. The latter often offer synchronised bass and drums which delivers a very powerful drive. In fact, Kaipa in this new century has no problem at all to even include eastern influences as during "Sonic Pearls." Or to hit those chords a little harder as during "End Of The Rope," where we also witness some Canterbury moments. The nice thing with Kaipa is that although they have two outstanding singers in the band, they still deliver lengthy instrumental passages. The passage where Roine’s high pitched guitar blends with Lundin’s Hammond organ simply is wonderful whilst the craftmanship of Morgan Agren becomes very clear here. Also Stolt’s slide guitar rules as well as his subtle fragile solos. Originally launched in the glorious seventies no doubt the mighty Mellotron gets a special place in the history of Kaipa. On this new album it gets a prominent place in the intro for "Across The Big Uncertain" which also sports some superb fretless bass from Jonas Reingold next to the wonderful melodies. "Distant Voices" changes from Yes-like structures to pure improvisation where Reingold’s bass sounds almost like authentic Squire! The album closes with one of the most powerful guitar solos on the album, backed with tons of Mellotron -- a proof of Kaipa’s status as one of the purest symphonic outfits. The nice thing about this album is the fact that it’s rather different than Notes From The Past yet it sounds like authentic Kaipa throughout. This kind of means that the band has once again put its recognizable stamp onto the music, yet has broken new ground as well. Especially in the rhythm section the band now tends to rub shoulders with jazz and fusion without making it too obvious. It’s that constant weaving of different styles that finally creates the Keyholder.

![]() Torna lo storico gruppo svedese, la prima formazione di Roine Stolt dei Flower Kings e dei Transatlantic, con il seguito di Notes From the Past, il dignitoso ma deludente album della reunion pubblicato lo scorso anno. La formazione e rimasta la stessa di Notes con il leader Hans Lundin alle tastiere, Stolt alle chitarre, Morgan Agren alla batteria, il bassista Reingold sempre dei Flower Kings, Aleena ai cori e Patrik Lundstrom dei grandissimi Ritual alla voce. Il peso compositivo di Roine in questo album e maggiore e si sente subito che si tratta di un disco piu completo, piu riuscito. Non ha i difetti e le indulgenze dell'episodio precedente, ma e piu avventuroso, piu spigoloso (in senso buono), e composto da otto lunghi brani per quasi ottanta minuti di prog grandioso e visionario. Il disco si apre con l'intricata "Lifetime of a Journey", un miscuglio di King Crimson, Genesis e Yes dalla grande forza espressiva, tempi complessi e partiture epiche si intrecciano in un labirito ad alto tasso emotivo, un brano eccellente. "A Complex Work of Art" inizia con un crescendo che lancia uno Stolt felicemente ispirato, il brano e molto lirico e si apre all'ascoltatore come un grande gioco di scatole cinesi, ma l'aspetto piacevole e che le varie parti sono bene integrate fra di loro e non sono uno sterile collage di idee come invece spesso capita di ascoltare in mediocri dischi di pseudo prog. "The Weed of All Mankind" e un brano sbalorditivo, ha delle melodie inquietanti e poetiche al tempo stesso, sostenute da un vento di passioni forti intessuto con consumata abilita dai nostri, un brano che lascia un segno profondo. "Sonic Pearls" e un po' piu noiosa come trama, anche se musicalmente offre molti spunti interessanti, in particolare alcune commistioni con la world music. "End of the Rope", invece, ha un impronta molto piu rock sconfinando spesso nell'hard, un sound settantiano che a me piace da matti. "Across the Big Uncertain" e un brano poetico un po' bucolico, ma con melodie molto ariose e solari. A questo punto arriva un vero e proprio passo falso perche in "Distant Voices" c'e lo stesso giro di "Gibberish", cavallo di battaglia degli Spock's Beard, e solo un momento in tredici minuti di canzone, ma lascia di stucco, magari e un tributo, ma il promo non lo dice, comunque si tratta di un brano frastagliato e disomogeneo, in pratica l'esatto contrario del secondo brano del CD su cui sarebbe interessante indagare di piu. A dare il commiato ci pensa il brano "Otherwordly Brights", una piece piuttosto originale, con un arrangiamento molto sinfonico da gran finale. Un plauso anche alla cover dell'album, molto intrigante. Un grande ritorno per un gruppo storico!

к сожалению у них был перерыв на 20 лет, а оставшиеся 2 альбома Hander (1980) Nattdjustid (1982) лично мне не очень интересны, там нет Roine Stolt-a ![]() |
