Kalejdoskopiska Aktiviteter (Kaleidoscopic Activities) is the first studio album by Swedish progressive rock band Qoph, released in 1998. The band recorded two versions of the album, one that was sung in English and the other in Swedish, but the English version was never released.[1] One of the many jam sessions recorded during the studio work, the 18:31-minute long instrumental title song "Kalejdoskopiska Aktiviteter", with guesting keyboardist Joakim Svalberg (Opeth, Yngwie Malmsteen), was released as a bonus track on the double vinyl version.[2]
