The 14th album from this band from Sweden.
The band was a sextet with a lineup of drums, bass, guitars, keyboards and vocals.
Two guests added their saxophone and violin to this album.
Kaipa is the godfathers of the Swedish symphonic prog scene. Their sound has been the basis of this scene and it has been copied by so many other bands. Some of these bands contains ex Kaipa members.
Yes, The Flower Kings is the band I mostly have in mind here.
Kaipa continues with their female and male vocals. The basis is still symphonic prog with a lot of folk rock inspirations. The sound is still the usual Scandinavian symphonic prog sound.
The band has notably shifted their music towards fusion. Fusion is then another element, another aspect of this album.
The music is still bold with some long songs and complicated music.
This one hour long album proves beyond any doubts that Kaipa is one of the better bands in today's scene. The quality is very good and there is a lot to be joyful about on this album.
Kaipa has not let us down on this album.
3.5 points
