Thomas Lang his music taste is as broad as the entire industry itself. While driving back from a guided tour of the construction of the new 9 Beats USA headquarters in Oak Park, Los Angeles, Thomas goes through his favorite radio stations and shares some of the latest albums he received.

Spoiler: two of them are from the also ridiculously talented drummers and musicians Larnell Lewis ('In the Moment') and Marco Minneman ('My Sister').

The third album is quote "from a geezer called Thomas Lang," unquote and is out there for a couple of months now. Watch all the videos he released for his latest solo album on the 'Progpop-page' on Drummerszone.

If you watch and listen close, Thomas his inspiration for the tracks on 'Progpop' are pretty much revealed in this video. The areas and styles in music passing in this car-DJ-moment reveal a lot about the music that inspires him.

Progpop
The video also shows how his solo album 'Progpop' is filled with knowledge about the history of all music styles. And in Thomas' case, that goes with a preoccupation for certain 70s and 80s sounds that he easily turns into Prog and Pop with a slight touch of Disco sounds.

His latest solo album 'Progpop' is filled with extremely well written songs that would perfectly fit in a few decades of popular music. For drummers, this album, more than ever, shows another musical side of Thomas Lang. All songs are filled with the magic drum works we expect from him. On 'Progpop' he hits all the right notes in this time of music history to the core.

For all these reasons, this album should be in every drummer's home. And this is the link where you order 'Progpop' directly from Thomas Lang.
