The album One Day a New Horizon has an astonishing history. Even the original artists remained unaware of it for 25 years.... One Day a New Horizon, released on the Airship label in 1982, quickly became "an essential LP to own" according to Nick, a record collector in the UK. It's reputation swelled after Marquee Magazine (Japan) told rock fans to "remember [Protos] as the top progressive rock band since England...." (translation by Yasushi Tsuruta). 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 keyboard player, Rory, released Passing Decades 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. 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 continue their music studies. Now they are back together at New Horizons Music to release old and new musical projects. 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'. A fascinating album and band. Enjoy the reviews.
