Music for Keyboards: The Great Beyond

Lars Boutrup releasing his fourth instrumental progressive rock album

World wide release 2nd of March 2020

The Great Beyond

“The Great Beyond” contains of 9 new instrumental compositions written by Lars Boutrup in the style of classic keyboard driven prog rock inspired by artists such as Keith Emerson and Jon Lord. Though drawing from such inspirations, the album has its own sound with hard rock organ, themes, synth and big grooves together with an energy that is surely missed in today´s music. So for those who like the prog rock family and the times of ELP, Pink Floyd, Trace and Yes it is surely the prog rock album to listen to and prog your head away to.

It´s cool, it´s groovy and it´s music you want to hear once again because of its imaginative, grand and musical nature. The Great Beyond is a tour de force in making the most beautiful instrumental prog album and also to make the listener stay tuned to all the great themes, synthesizers and prog rock organs together with a unique rhythm duo of drums and bass.

New Line up

New man on the drums is Spike Nior, who Lars Boutrup has played together with in bands such as Simcess, Big Bang and Juruda Music.

Joined with veteran Niels Wilhelm Knudsen´s unique bass play, the new line up adds yet another dimension to the Music for Keyboards´ sound and universe.
