Kaipa - Solo (1978)

Kaipa - Solo (1978) is the fourth studio album by the Swedish progressive rock band Kaipa, released in 1978. This album marks a significant departure from the band’s earlier sound, embracing a more synthesizer-driven and atmospheric style compared to the more traditional symphonic progressive rock of their earlier albums. Solo is often regarded as a bridge between the earlier, more instrumentally complex albums of Kaipa and their later works, which would continue to evolve within the progressive rock genre.
