Hello music lovers,
Protos are back. After 25 years of not realising that their music had made its way around the world and found many fans, we are now putting the situation right by ensuring there is worldwide physical and digital distribution for Protos's albums. We would like to thank all their fans - particularly those in Japan - whose interest has kept the music's reputation alive.
Protos is a music writing duo (Rory Ridley-Duff and Steve Anscombe) who have been joined by other talented musicians to perform live. Special thanks to Nigel Rippon (Cellist / Guitarist), Iain Carnegie (Percussionist / Keyboardist / Composer), Neil Goldsmith (Drums) and Justin Warburton-Brown (Guitarist) for their contributions over the years.
You'll find many reviews on Protos's official site. Click 'Read More' below to see a recent review of One Day a New Horizon. This was posted to Progressive Ears, one of the most active progressive rock forums on the internet.
Best wishes
New Horizons Music
"I think this is one of the most important albums of this particular sub-genre and in my opinion is one of the best as well (it is at least equal to the first efforts of Marillion, IQ and Pallas and probably better than the first Pendragon album). There's also a big difference in comparison with other neo bands in that Protos plays music that is entirely instrumental, while most other neo bands seem to focus a lot of their attention on lyrics and vocals. I think this is Protos' strength since most neo vocalists are simply dreadful (save Fish and some others). It's hard to choose the best track from this album because it's so consistent. Every song has a unique charm about it and you can find something you like in any number. The musicians are all extremely competent..." http://www.progressiveears.com/asp/reviews.asp?albumID=3811, 2nd Feb 2007
