Marco Minnemann, Alex Machacek, and Trey Gunn discuss Normalizer 2

UKZ bandmates Marco Minnemann, Alex Machacek, and Trey Gunn discussing Minnemann's upcoming uber-project Normalizer 2 with Modern Drummer magazine. What exactly is Normalizer 2 you ask? Machacek, Gunn, John Czajkowski, Mike Keneally, and others composed their own music over a pre-recorded 52 minute Minnemann drum solo. The resulting album (Normalizer 2) will be released on Abstract Logix sometime this year. I have an advance copy of Czajkowski's version (entitled "West ZooOpolis"), and can tell you it's a stunning piece of music. I can't wait for the full album to hear what the other guys have done. Check out this interview for more details...
