Synopsis

Album Description

To celebrate the 30th anniversary of the first Kaipa album (originally released in 1975) Inside Out will be releasing two Kaipa albums this year. The brand new studio album Mindrevolutions, (their 8th studio album) is inviting you to another musical journey. With deep roots in the Swedish folk music tradition, Kaipa guides you through a landscape coloured by a myriad of influences, where the narrow path opens up into a highway and suddenly takes you up over the mountains soaring high above your daily life and consciousness. With Mindrevolutions, Kaipa once again prove that dream and reality and pain and joy are possible to unite in a musical way inside their unique music-landscape. The album contains 10 new songs with title track a 26 minute long mind-adventure. The two original Kaipa members, Hans Lundin on keyboards & vocal and Roine Stolt of Flower Kings fame on guitars and vocal, are accompanied by Morgan Ågren (Zappa, Mats & Morgan) on drums, Jonas Reingold (Flower Kings, Karmakanic, The Tangent) on bass and the wondrous voices of Patrik Lundström (Ritual) and Aleena.

CD Reviews

Roine Stolt is god

S.F.Sorrow | Indianapolis | 12/02/2008

(5 out of 5 stars)

"I must admit up front that I'm not objective when it comes to Mr. Stolt.I first discovered him(by way of the Flower Kings)about a year ago,and have been mesmerized since by both his personal and creative explorations of prog music,plus that distinctively virtuosic guitar work.However,with that said,Stolt and Flower King fans alike,should immediately get this disc,as I find it to be Stolt's finest hour(actually the usual 70 plus minutes).Fitting,since Kaipa was his original band,ironic because he actually is "only" responsible for all the guitar work,a little percussion,and unnoticeable back. vocals.Doesn't matter,Kaipa co-originator, Hans Lundin,has written some gorgeous songs here,and shows himself to be a master producer ,allowing more room for Kaipa's state of the prog musicians to roam than he has in the past.Though this is Stolts' party,special mention must be made of drummer extaordinaire,Morgan Agren.It's easy to see why Zappa brought him into a few of his projects.Agren reminds me of a more subtle,though just as powerhouse,Alphonse Mouzon.Lastly,tho I usually hate this cliche,this is the rare disc you can stop at any track and enjoy.My personal faves are the epic title cut,and Timebomb-with it's vicious attack against "this man is made of steel,He's acting like a father,but behaving like a boy,He leads us to destruction,and it brings him power and joy"Finally,with the music swelling ,drummer Agren propels the band to a tumoltuous finale,as singers Patrick Lundstrom,and Lundins' daughter,Aleena,instruct us that"Black as oil this game-4 times to the end!Take that,Dubya"
