A big day (no, not another one!), as the collaboration with some USA/Canadian musicians - namely T.A.P (T.A.P-Prog) - bears fruit. Our debut album, CD/digital, is available for pre-order today, with a release date of October 6th.
The album is called ‘Paradigms’ and is released on Nick Katona’s MRR label. It’s an instrumental project that combines ambient soundscapes infused here and there with prog/rock, jazz, blues, and world music vibes. https://tapprog.bandcamp.com/album/paradigms Find out about who is involved, what early reviewers have said, and access our EPK (electronic press kit) on our website https://www.tapprog.com Here is a video of our latest single https://youtu.be/U58uorZkqc8 This is what other musicians had to say about the album. "What I have heard of your album so far sounds fkn amazing. Totally unique. Can't say it sounds like anyone cause it does not” - Chris Gill (Band Of Rain) “Really cool! Great atmospheres and cool riffs. At times reminded me of Pink Floyd or Gentle Giant. Fun Prog! Congrats! Really impressed.” - Dave Kerzner ('Sound of Contact', 'Dave Kerzner Band', 'In Continuum') “A progressive experimental collection of music that has thrown out the formula book to give way to free form moods, mental atmospheres and innovative sound design. Definitely something to enjoy in its entirety . Digging it!” - Simon Collins (‘Sound Of Contact’, ‘eMOLECULE’) “Wow - I love it. Very impressed. Great moods, great progressive grooves, awesome guitar, gritty keys, solid bass, very cool stuff!” - Matt Dorsey (‘Sound Of Contact’, ‘In Continuum’, ‘Dave Kerzner Band’) “T.A.P’s 'Paradigm' is a compelling return to the roots of prog with a 7 superb tracks waxing musical tapestries infused with jazz fusion and rock. At times it made me think of the supergroup UK or something from Bill Bruford's 'Masterstrokes'. It is an exciting listen filled with interwoven melodies, rhythms and musical themes.” - Kelly Nordstrom (‘Sound Of Contact’, ‘eMOLECULE’) “...an absolute blast... guitar technique and tone to die for throughout, some really inventive arrangements with prog, ambient, hints of jazz fusion, blues, even a bit of carnival haha. Fab keys and orchestration, some very inventive percussion - lots of room for the music to move and groove but never descends into indulgence. It's well outside my usual comfort zone but when everyone brings their A Game like that and creates the right moods and can move seamlessly through those kind of arrangements it's a winner. Production is really good. Delicious basslines. Silence From The Storm! Yum” - Charlie Bramald (‘Ghost of the Machine’) Edited by JobbornProgPromoter2 - September 19 2023 at 17:09 |

great, a line up comprised of such prolific musicians might not be a guarantee for something spectacular per se, but the already released singles are very promising indeed |

Here is a great review done by Colin.
“Please listen to this album more than once! There is so much going on here that only by repeated listening can you truly appreciate the sheer magnificence of this music. The sonic tapestries that the band manage to produce are amazing and musicianship is through the roof! It is hard to believe that this was all constructed remotely and the band have never all met together in person - it sounds so cohesive and well integrated. So do yourself a favour and set aside an hour or so on at least a couple of occasions to give this wonderful album a deep listen. You won’t regret it.” - Colin Powell: A Multitude of One, Nova Cascade |

First review in for our album Paradigms. Steve did a find job describing his enjoyment of the album. "Paradigms is a very impressive album. I have seen a couple of people I respect deeply on progressive music forums state it is their album of 2023, and I have no doubt it will reach the lists of many music magazines, fanzines, and websites. This website does not produce such lists. So, let me say this. If you appreciate music which seeks to break boundaries, tell stories without words, has sublime musicianship, and encourages the listener to immerse themselves in a collective’s vision & art, then you should get this. A genuine highlight of 2023" Read the rest of the review at the link provided. https://lazland.org/album-reviews-2023-part-the-second/tap-paradigms |
