"The Nobel Pauper's Grave" by Protos (Progressive-Rock band from England)

"The Nobel Pauper's Grave" by the exceptionally artistic Protos is an inspiring progressive-rock journey. The musicianship throughout the CD is very impressive. Mixing in narratives, this collection tells the story of a man who flees his life of wealth and luxury to live among and fight for the poor. As such, "The Novel Pauper's Grave" is very dynamic, containing musical compositions aimed at representing a wide range of emotions and experiences. "Born a Bit Blue" is noteworthy for its lively, melodramatic vibe. "Travels" shifts into a more serene sound. Moreover, "The Rally" achieves a very epic sound through the use of triumphant orchestral lead melodies. "The Noble Pauper's Grave" is very successful in taking listeners through the highs and lows of this tale's epic journey.
