Swedish experimental rock group QOPH breath new life into the early 70s avant garde rock format with their release titled Kalejdoskopiska Aktiviteter. The opening track "Vansinnet" begins as a simple vocal pop shuffle and it's not until the middle of this first track that we discover the complex versatility of the bands writing and performance talents. All of the lyrics and liner notes are in Swedish so it's a bit difficult for non-Swedish speaking listeners to reap the total benefits of the groups complete package.The sound and feel of the majority of the material is reminiscent of the various eras of King Crimson and Yes as vocalist Robin Kvist sounds at times like Adrian Belew and other times the harmonic direction of Yes vocalist Jon Anderson is felt. The music falls in line with early 70s rock related Crimson / Yes compositions except for the final track that sounds like ZZ Top meets King Crimson. The groups compositions share a format that is part structured rock and part free form experimental which they handle well. Guitarists Filip Norman and Jimmy Wahlsteen display quality chops as does bassist Patrik Persson (bass) and Federico de Costa(drums).

On the other hand, the link for QUOPH doesn't work. Is it possible for you to fix it? I have been looking for this record for a very long time, and now that I think I'm so lucky to be able to download it, the link turns out to be useless. I will be grateful to you and willing to offer anything you want that I happen to have. Thank you.
