Necromonkey - Necroplex (2013)

Forward-thinking lovers of instrumental music will not fail to appreciate Necroplex – an album whose thoroughly modern stance also pays homage to the likes of early Pink Floyd – as will those who have been intrigued by some of the bands, such as Ergo, Knitting By Twilight, Lüüp and the obvious choice, Gösta Berlings Saga.

So if you're already a fan of these guys here is a chance to see how eclectic and unusual they can get, pushing the boundaries of prog rock just a little more.
