A lot has happened since the early days when we first opened our brick and mortar store.
Here is a quick recap.
October 1st 2004 we open Melodic Revolution a music store.
August 2005 I assemble some friends to Host the first Clinton Art and Music Festival.
2006 We open a live venue which hosted shows to over 300 bands over the next 2 years
2006 We formed Melodic Revolution Records the label with 2 signings.
2007 We closed our store and venue and moved back to Florida.
September 2009 we launch Official Website
October 2009 We launch Power of Prog a site dedicated to progressive music.
2010 We signed 6 artists and released 7 albums
2011 We signed 14 artists and released 19 albums and 1 live DVD.
July 2011 Sees the launch of a new radio show "Inside the Music" with co-host singer, songwriter and producer John Orr Franklin which is broadcast every Wednesday from 12 pm to 2 pm EST via AiiRadio.net
So here we are seven years later, celebrating 5 years as a label. and Power of Prog turns 2. It has been a hell of a ride with many learning curves along the way but I am blessed by all the friends I have made along the way and the support that everyone has shown. I look forward to the future and the many new friends I have yet to make. It is with these friends old and new that we will make a difference in the modern era of music.

Newly signed, Melodic Revolution Records recording artist, John Orr Franklin release’s new digital single “Alpha and Omega”
In a statement from John Orr Franklin
In an effort to take the first single “Alpha and Omega” to the next level, I brought on Gavin Harrison, drummer from the band Porcupine Tree, as a special guest on the song. Gavin is the drummer I had in mind when I was writing the demos for this album, so naturally the end result is a perfect fit that stays true to my original vision and then some.
Nearing completion of his third full length album, John has begun releasing a series of digital singles to determine the best possible format and packaging for the new release. Ultimately, feedback from the fans will determine the final format for the album. The band would very much like to see the project fully realized on a double vinyl LP with professional cover artwork and digital downloads. The band plans to use the proceeds from sales of the albums first digital singles and they are also planning a fan-based fundraiser on Kickstarter.com in order to see this dream into reality.
The new album entitled “Soldier On” is a science fiction based story that follows one soldier through his personal trials as he discovers his true identity within the grandeur of a universe that has suddenly gotten much smaller.
“Alpha and Omega” is now available at many popular Digital Distributors; iTunes, Amazon, emusic, Zune, Napster, Bandcamp, Melodic Revolution Records and others.

Actually vinyl never really left us it just took a backseat to technology. CDs became all the rage in the mid 80s and started losing their luster as the internet and mp3s took hold. And the good old album just lingered in the background waiting to make its move. Well there is no time like the present to get back in the groove.
We have been selling vinyl for years in our online store, and we thought it was time to reach out and let you know we are planning on expanding our vinyl sales to independent releases so if you’re a band that has released or are planning on releasing your next album on vinyl (full length, ep or even as a 7” single) then drop us a line as we may be interested in stocking your music.
Here are a few articles about the comeback of vinyl.

MUSICIANS FOR OIL RELIEF
Musicians for Oil Relief is Melodic Revolution Records 3rd Charity release on its new imprint charity label There Is Hope Records. We all heard and were deeply saddened by the Gulf Oil Disaster as it affected many US coastal regions especially hard hit areas like Louisiana, who has experienced much hardship in the last few years.
Musicians for Oil Relief is another wonderful release to help those in need; human, flora and fauna alike, affected by this horrific man-made disaster. At the moment there are only plans for this digital release with proceeds being donated to Charity via Music for Relief.
We hope you enjoy the music.

Dearly Beloved,
Please find attached a song that was given to me by God in answer to my
prayers so that it may be passed on to the waking world.
It is by the Power of the Holy Name of our Lord Jesus Christ that I send
this message to you and in which you receive it.
The fruit of the Lord's Prayer is upon us all...
...Be guided by His hand and join me in bringing this song to the world so
that His Will Be Done On Earth As It Is In Heaven!
AMEN!
Love Peace Truth and Light
