Imagine the following going on and you (the artist) not even aware it was taking place...

One Day a New Horizon became "an essential LP to own" according to Nick, a record collector in the UK. This became even more true when Marquee Magazine (Japan) wrote a review telling fans to "remember [Protos] as the top progressive rock band since England...." (translation by Yasushi Tsuruta, reviewer for Orange Power Prog Rock Magazine).

In England, Dave Martin (organiser of the Whitchurch Prog Rock festival) considered One Day a New Horizon "one of the best prog rock albums ever". Meanwhile, German record collector Hans Pokora was giving One Day a New Horizon a 4 star rating in his list of 3001 Record Collector Dreams....

For nearly 25 years, Protos band members had no idea that these things were being said about their music, or that their music was building an international reputation as a classic of the prog rock genre. When Protos keyboard player, Rory, released Passing Decades over two decades later, e-mails started to arrive asking if One Day a New Horizon would be re-released.....

And the rest is (recent) history, as they say.

So how did it all start? Rory and Steve formed Protos while still at school. Later, Rory enrolled on a Jazz/Popular music course at the Chichester College of Technology (in England). This proved an ideal place to find a new drummer (Iain Carnegie) and bass player (Nigel Rippon). They gigged locally for two years then disbanded when Rory, Iain and Nigel went to college/university to study music.

Now they are back together again (in cyberspace at least!) The CD version contains all tracks from the original LP plus material previously released on 'Seaside Rock' (Airship, 1981) and Rory's first solo album 'Passing Decades'.

Come join the party!
