Progglådan Box C: Folkprogg & Sjungande låtskrivare

(folk progg & singing songwriters)

CD 305

Lasse Tennander with Kaipa/Dan Berglund Band

Lasse Tennander is a Swedish musician, composer, lyricist and actor.

A former high school teacher, Tennander was active

in the Swedish progg (leftist) movement during the 1970s.

Here he is backed by an early incarnation of Lars Lundin's Kaipa

featuring a young Roine Stolt on lead guitar.

Interesting stuff especially when the band get to stretch out a bit

but, as usual, the Swedish lyrics/politics are lost on me.

Dan Berglund is a noted upright bass player.

In this early recording. however, Dan is playing guitar (I think)

and, presumably. singing.

It's inoffensive but rather uninspired.

Progglådan Box B: CD 206

Instrumentala, Experimentella, Urproggare samt Punk

Kaipa/Horizont/Dice

I'm a big fan of Kaipa/Hans Lundin (far right).

Here's very early Kaipa with a 22 year old Roine Stolt on guitar.

Stolt (far left) went on to form The Flower Kings.

Lundin's Kaipa albums, from 2002's 'Notes from the Past' onwards

in particular, are all essential listening for prog devotees.

Horizont are really good too.

Sometimes compared to Camel.

Guitarist Jonas Isacsson went on to play with Roxette in the 90s.

Dice (not to be confused with the Australian indie outfit)

are the most ambitious and talented of the three bands featured

with some excellent Genesis/Gentle Giant/ELP style complexities.

There is another longer version of the Dice recording on the blog.

Stockholm Symphonie

Remasterd mp3.

Early Kaipa with a young Roine Stolt on guitar.

Hans Lundin eventually shied away from live performance

but the albums he has created under the Kaipa banner are superb.
