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 :)

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.
