Since we know that people have been impatiently waiting for new music from the Lid for a long time, and since we also know that the April 2 release date of the new Stars of the Lid and Their Refinement of the Decline album is still a long way off, we offer here a free taster from that massive work. Apreludes (In C Sharp Major) is one of the shorter tracks on the album, but that in no way implies that the emotional heft therein is diminished in any manner.
