Psychedelic Rock: The use of drugs led to a more experimental style in music. Mind-altering drugs often contributed to the lyrical content, ad surreal, fairy-tale and fantasy/mystical themes were explored in concept albums.
Technology: Distortion, fuzz, phaser, flanger, echo/delay, Leslie speaker. Reverb and delay used in large amounts. Synths used to create weird and wacky sounds. Tape loops and ambient recordings used to add non-musical sounds and textures.
Progressive Rock: Began as a part of the psychedelic rock scene. Initially, it was particularly focused on key concepts as a theme for long concept albums. Progressive rock started as almost never commercially viable as a single (remember that vinyl could only hold so much data for a single).
Technology: Layering, full thick ensembles. Rich reverb and delay. Full use of instrumental techniques, such as phaser, flanger and distortion. Synths were popular and played a role as solo instruments rather than pads/sfx. The Moog and ARP used extensively.
Soul: Originated in large cities in the southern states of the USA – Detroit, Memphis and Philadelphia and also from NY on the East Coast.
Technology: Early Multitrack, 4 Track and Then 8 Track, DI (Direct Inject), Acoustic Baffling, Close Micing, Echo Chambers & Plate Reverb, Extreme Panning – Very Natural (No Real Use for Synths (Yet). Vocals Were Often Overdubbed.

Neuman KM56 – Condenser More sensitive, better frequency response, without the delicacy and the random response of the ribbon microphoned (also has a smaller diaphragm – which is better for close micing).
