Live recordings from the UK prog rock band formed in the late 1970s. Includes live performances of tracks recently re-issued on 'One Day a New Horizon'
Bio / Background
PROTOS have a unique story to tell. After playing live for only two years, their members pursued musical and civilian careers with no idea their recordings had started to gain an international reputation. In 2006, they re-issued their studio album, One Day a New Horizon, on CD and received praise from around the world. Their second offering celebrates their emerging status as "the top progressive rock group since England (Garden Shed, 1977)" (Marquee Magazine).
The new release is the result of a careful search through all Protos's archive recordings for their best live performances between 1982 and 1984. Unlike many contemporary 'live' albums that have playing errors removed (or covered up) and sound-quality 'improved' by overdubbing in a studio, Tiger is the genuine article - a 69-minute tour-de-force based on their original live sets: raw, untouched and sparingly edited, and quality checked with music industry specialists before release.
↓ more ↓Already two tracks from the album ("Protos" and "The Maiden") have topped charts at SoundClick (www.soundclick.com).
This pearl amongst the oysters adds to the history of progressive rock by showing how 1970s-style composition/performance was being actively supported in England well into the 1980s by Airship Recording Studios.
Nobuhisa Nakanishi (purchaser for a Japanese distributor) says:
"The sound quality is better than I expected...very listenable. Another positive side is that it captures the band in more energetic form than the studio recordings..."
Iain Carnegie, a producer for the Phil Collins 'Little Dreams Foundation', was the drummer on some of the original recordings. When asked for comments, he commented:
"It's exactly what I was expecting both in terms of the music and the sound quality (which is not too bad at all). Ultimately I think it's a great addition to the Protos arsenal of recordings and it captures the live experience very well indeed. There is a very warm sound to the Regis recordings..."
