Welcome to the OFFICIAL PROTOTYP (Adrian Iowa & Friends) MySpace site.
This is the ONLY place on MySpace to get the official and latest news about ADRIAN IOWA and his Band PROTOTYP!.....
ART ROCK MADE IN GERMANY...
.....In 1981 Adrian Iowa founded the band PROTOTYP and "prototyp" became program for the band. With every concert, the four musicians presented new compositions, there were no repetitions! Adrian Iowa began his musical career with his own band PROTOTYP and pleased his fans with melodious Artrock songs, selective melodies and stirring rhythms.
Whoever saw and listened to this band before, knows why they succeed in filling the masses with enthusiasm straight away! The melodies go into the ear, the lyrics leave an imprint. The end product is merciless Entertainment, full of surprises and because they don't become tired, they show their qualities live on stage to proof it - the performance on stage is a must.
Adrian Iowa is composer and copywriter of the band, (Some of his poems appeared in magazines). Remarkable about the band was, that for 6 years(during 1981-1987), they renounced the bass guitar. However, this was compensated through the development of an individual guitar tuning and gave the Prototyp sound something really unique.... although lyrics existed only instrumental songs were played for years... Adrian Iowa wanted to draw the audiences attention to the special tuned guitar of his.
Adrian Iowa and his band called PROTOTYP has become new members and define themselves somewhere between a production team, studio musicians, family and band.
They come together to realize this project, a unique Rock-Opera , a musical event of special kind called THE SNOW STAR.....................................................................................................

PROTOTYP DEMO+DVD (INDEPENDENT)
The German band PROTOTYP consists of a bunch of professional musicians whom all have been active for a long time now. This can also be heard very clearly on the 3 songs counting demo and DVD sent to me. Musically it is a mix 70s Classic Rock, Sympho and 80s AOR, resulting in a sound that mixes the best of JOURNEY, ASIA and THIN LIZZY. Ive had enough happens to be a catchy 80s melodic rocker with good arrangements and nice melodies, while the other songs on the demo CD show the classic 70s melodic guitarsound of the band. Closing track 1959 has some beautiful melodies and is a nice STYX/MAGNUMish piece. This band should be able to release a sensational full-length CD, but in the meantime this demo and short DVD features some of the bands material of which the fantastic uptempo Melodic Pomprocker Children of the streets is a song that hopefully is recorded for official CD release soon, because this is classic MAGNUM meets HEEP!

Il gruppo-famiglia dell'inarrestabile Adrian Iowa
Art rock a tinte hard e di ottima fattura per i tedeschi PROTOTYP. Recuperando la matrice teutonica degli Eloy, aprendosi alla fluidità pinkfloydiana e alle solennità nordamericane di Kansas, Styx e Saga, la band confeziona un bel demo, ottimo apripista per progetti più ambiziosi come la rock-opera sulla quale il gruppo è al lavoro.
Prototyp è creatura del "padre-padrone" ADRIAN IOWA, circondato da figliocci e pupilli: il suo marchio di fabbrica, come chitarrista ma principalmente autore, è percettibile nei tre brani: maestosi, pomposi, pieni di grinta e melodia, tra l'altro confezionati molto bene, ancorchè prevedibili e un po' scontati.
"I've had enough" è un'ottima opener da opera rock, incalzante, accattivamente nel refrain, magniloquente al punto giusto. La strumentale "The call of music" ha un sapore romantico ed è un ottimo sfoggio tecnico per la band, ancora più accentuate nelle venature epiche e neoclassiche di "1959".
Un buon inizio per questo gruppo-famiglia di cui sentiremo presto parlare.

I understand that most of you don't speak German and are not able to upload videos because of the language barrier. If you would like me to upload your videos to the German video websites, please let me know.
