Protos - The Infinite Horizon (2024)

The third album from this band from Great Britain.

The band was a duo with a lineup of guitars, keyboards and electronics.

A guest added drums.

This album was recorded and then one of the members of the band, the guitarist Stephen Anscombe, passed on. Rory Didley-Duff, the sole remaining member, released this album in his memory.

As with the two first albums, the music here is a mix of symphonic prog, cinematic rock and neo-classical music.

The music is both elegant and melodic. It has some folk rock influences too. 

The keyboards and electronic generated strings and other sounds is the main instruments here. The guitars are playing more a secondary role on this forty minutes long album.

Despite of this, the music sounds pretty organic and not so dissimilar to ELP and Camel. There is still a lot of Mike Oldfield in their music too.

Fans of these three bands/artists should check out this album and their first two album.

This album is an OK'ish album.
