Progressive rock appeared in the late 1960s when rock musicians wanted to break down the barriers of radio formatted pop and rock and progress this music type of to a place where it might achieve a more sophisticated sound, similar to that of classical music or jazz. Progressive rock is unusually hard to define in one conclusive way and all of us have progressive rock performers to prove that. Some of the the majority important performers of the 70s that defined this rock form did not have the same sound.

Psychedelic music is believed to be the starting point of progressive rock. Some people furthermore believe that performers prefer The Beatles contributed to the progressive rock movement. However, the two progressive rock performers that most people see as being the 1st of this new- found type of were King Crimson and Yes. The progressive rock performers appeared at the end of the 1960s and although the 1st band was attributed to hard progressive rock sub- type of and the second to symphonic rock, they were both catalogued as progressive rock bands, as their sound was unique and more sophisticated. Genesis is yet another rock band that aspired to progressive rock. Their third progressive rock album  set things straight for this band. They were a symphonic rock band and thus a progressive rock band.

great Britain was the 1st country that started the progressive rock movement, but Italy was not far behind either. Banco Del Mutuo Soccorco and Premiata Forneria Marconi were progressive rock bands that led the way for all rock bands all over Europe to progress and define this rock genre. As far as the progressive rock movement is concerned, these two European countries were the ones that opened all doors and invited all rock bands to evolve and give the world great progressive rock albums. Nonetheless, great Britain is still the top  promoter of progressive rock bands, with Caravan, another progressive rock band from this country, being the one that defined the third sub- type of progressive rock: Canterbury. Now,at the end of the 1960s, progressive rock bands established three sub- genre s: hard prog, symphonic and Canterbury.

The 1970s represented the crowning of progressive rock as a type of and some of the greatest progressive rock albums were released in this decade. Jethro Tull’s “Thick as a brick” or Rush’s “2112” are only two of the most appreciated progressive rock albums released in the 70s. Furthermore, this decade brought another ten sub- type ofs of progressive rock to life, and a lot of progressive rock artists came forth in this period. As if progressive rock has been not complicated enough, art folk, classical prog, folk prog, ambient, Rio, pomp prog, jazz fusion, electronic, Zeuhl and krautrock were listed as sub- type ofs of the 60s rock type of.

In the next two decades, progressive rock did not progress as much as it had up to that moment. In the 80s, it was dethroned by the punk movement and progressive rock performers chose to give birth to another sub- type of : neo progressive. There were few progressive rock albums released in the 80s, some of the the majority prolific ones being Rush’s “Moving Pictures” or Fate’s Warning’s “No Exit”. Progressive metal rock was likewise listed as a sub- type of in this period. The 1990s were dominated by the development of metal prog, through Dream Theatre. This decade is mainly characterized by the revival of the progressive scene of the seventies.

Before I left Singapore, my aspired DJ -to-be Malaysian buddy, Chee Kiang, burnt for me my preferred Ministry of Sound – The Annual 2005 Deluxe compact disc. He attempted some modifications to the hits, not in the absence of the Zouk influence, the venue any person talks about in Singapore where he’s a frequenter.

I didn’t quite feel any distinction from the original record.

Perhaps he is not too familiar with music editing yet ( following all, Chee Kiang only has a laptop equipped with a Windows Media Player burner). What negligence, when music morphing features are already so accross the board, covering almost all there might be to audio morphing!

And the developing music editing softwares are making the list even longer. Not long ago, mixers used to be limited to only 5 file extensions (.wav, .mp2, .mp3, .ogg and .wma). Now, the products of Audio4Fun and Sony assist almost all the extensions there are (up to 14). Conversion of tunes under different formats into as a lot of categories is no longer an edge, but a norm with these music editor-players.

Not only in quantity, but the quality of the output is furthermore enhanced, with special attention to the pitch and timbre of the sound effects. And don’t be surprised getting to know that some music morphers now allow you unlimited freestyle mix-and-match of customized extractions of songs (yes, you may extract all the best verses of your preferred songs to create your own mega-hit). This defining feature is perhaps best demonstrated in the AV Music Morpher Gold.

A hip mixer is one who plays not only good music, but his own good music as well. The music juke boxes take as good care of specific wants of the demanding disc jockey as that of his above-mentioned special needs. He might drive club bers hysterically spinning by mixing his voice into any hip-hop favorite s, and further adding built-in juke effects or any of his pre-mixed sounds. That’s how far the music editors have been developed, to advocate disc jockeys keep club bers screaming for more.

Perhaps what distinguishes the music editing concept from other high-end digital streams (DVD morphing for instance) is that the technology is so user-friendly and complete that any average home deejay now could produce his own CD s, fully individual ized, from music to CD  cover. All Music Morphers of Audio4Fun help such thorough form of customization, though it is hardly seen elsewhere in the market.

So how’s the market embraced these creative editing tools? There are over 10 major music software producers, with large names such as Audio4Fun, Adobe and Sony (Audio4Fun is more specialist, as Adobe is more known for its PDF readers while Sony is an omnipresent titan). Products are for sale from a mere $9.95 to only $99.95, about the price of a DVD player. Free downloads of music editing softwares are furthermore available on the Internet (legally, of course).

The combination of an extensive supply chain, low pricing and numerous aid features could herald an age of home recording audios, where home deejays savor unique mix-medleys that even the Zouk venue bers crave for.
