Hi all! I've just posted my new hip-hop-prog record! All of the drums were recorded direct from vinyl break beat records. This album is almost 2 years in the making. Only $5 to pre-order and the first 5 pre-orders get a free MZ shirt shipped to you! (only US or CA orders) Have a listed to the single 'Cut Throat' and drop me a line if you dig it! Thanks so much for all the great support over the years guys! http://michaelzucker.bandcamp.com/album/calypso-unraveling  |

itīs pretty experimental for a hiphop song but i doubt that you will convince the progcommunity to consider this as progressive (i tried it years ago with a jazz-infuenced reggaeband and failed miserably ^^) besides, i would suggest that u provide some more listening samples because many ppl might like to hear moar before they buy an album  ------------- It's just a ride... <3 |

I totally understand where you're coming from. This album is a departure from my previous works (which are mostly all straight prog rock - haha now that is an oxymoron!). Not every track on this has rapping and most tracks have at least some guitar. it's a combination of prog rock songs, pop songs, funk songs and yes rap/hip-hop songs. I usually only post in PA once an album is released, but this one comes out in just two weeks. Then the whole thing will be available to stream. I just thought some PA peeps might want to check out the pre-order since for only $5 you get the full record but also a free shirt shipped to you! |

Dude. That album cover. It's like the worst combination of cliche prog symbols and terrible southern hip hop photoshop I love it ------------- http://thedarkthird.bandcamp.com/ |

Awesome! Also I know I said that the free shirt deal is only for US and CA orders (and I see you're from Germany) but I'll make an exception if you change your mind and decide to take a chance on the pre-order. Not a bad deal for only $5! ;) |

| hahahaha yeah man that was the idea! I was like - if I'm going to do a 'rap' album I better make the cover ridiculous. |

Heads up guys, you wanted a reminder so here it is. The album is out! Thanks for the interest guys, give this a listen if you want something different and rather unique. Totally different approach and direction for me, but I think some prog fans will still enjoy it! http://michaelzucker.bandcamp.com/album/calypso-unraveling |
