Protocol is the début album/EP from drummer/percussionist Simon Phillips. It was released in 1988 on the Music for Nations label, a company which had, at one time, bands such as Metallica and Slayer.[2]
Of the release, Phillips calls it "a record of experimental observations" and goes on to say "It was a good feeling to have finally released my first solo CD, and although not what I had originally planned, it was a start to my solo career."[3]
Allmusic's Robert Taylor gave the disc two and a half stars, saying that, although Phillips played all the instruments himself, "he is not competent enough on the guitar or keyboards to provide anything beyond atmosphere for his drum playing."[1]
