The six-year gap between Wappa Gappa's second and third albums melts upon first listen of Gappa. The band is in excellent shape, very well rehearsed, and full of excitement. Tamami Yamamoto's confident voice is what immediately draws attention - female lead singers are still a rare feature in progressive rock. Through most of the album, Tachibana plays the part of the disrupter, unexpectedly stepping out of the tonality in a solo or adding a noisy texture here and there. These interventions prevent the music from growing stale. Souk" and "Kirmes" are the two highlights of the set and also the less conventional pieces. Kirmes" adds a festive color to the palette and includes plenty of quirky keyboard parts. In comparison, "Ranja" and "The Golden Apples of the Sun" lack panache in the writing and the arrangements.
