 Absent Lovers Now Present February 3, 2009
Written by barrystock
I’ve been waiting for an official release featuring the "Untitled Instrumental" aka "Absent Lovers" for 26 years. I first heard the tune on a bootleg purchased by a friend in 1983, "Indisciple Mining Rocks", and have wondered about it ever since. I went until late last year before hearing it again, and then found that "IMR" had been uploaded to a blog. I questioned a notable authority on the subject, and was told the tune’s brief history as he knew it.
What is most beguiling to me about the tune is the hovering, insectoid major second pattern, and it was what made me come back in my mind over the years to the piece. I think it is unprecedented in their canon, and is...really cool.
Thanks for putting this one up. It made my day!
