Progressive rock, also known as prog rock or prog, is a rock music subgenre that originated in the United Kingdom, with further developments in Germany, Italy, and France, throughout the mid-to-late 1960s and 1970s. It developed from psychedelic rock and originated, similarly to art rock, as an attempt to give greater artistic weight and credibility to rock music.

22th studio album. The band plays progressive rock, though on this album “progressive” came almost to nothing, and you only hear the rock. But it sounds like all in all very interesting, and quite left the impression that the group “outdated,” on the contrary, one might think that this is not English “retired”, but rather some young musicians. Beautiful solo with “twin” guitars, bass terrific game that is very much stands out, finally, crystal clear acoustic guitars, all and adjusts to the relaxing mood.

JAKE NIELSEN – PERSPECTIVE 2012

NOW!

Coming from Virginia, Jake Nielsen is a talented multi-instrumentalist, composer and music teacher. Perspective, his first album, is the culmination of over 10 years of composing and playing. For inspiration, Nielsen draws from a triumvirate of influences. On the musical side, it’s Billy Joel, in his early years, and Dream Theater, in his latter years. Lyrically, he looks to his Mormon faith and religion (not to be confused with orthodox and evangelical Christianity) for inspiration. Additionally, Nielsen did all the vocals and performed, or programmed, all the instruments onPerspective, except for the cello on A Still Small Voice.

Nielsen also cites recent influences including Ben Folds Five and Neal Morse. Actually, it might be best to describe Nielsen’s style, considering this musical and inspirational sources, as a Mormon version of Neal Morse (a confessing Christian), with heavier weight given to the piano. While hardly dismissing his compositional skills, which are exceptional, the piano work within Perspective is his greatest strength. You can hear echoes of Billy Joel, yet with a classical music style ramped up by a progressive rock injection; it’s a vibrant interpretation.
