The interesting thing, if you really get reading about Beefheart, is that he apparently didn't stop composing music until '93 or so. I even read he made some new songs with Gary Lucas and such playing guitar. So, honestly, he probably has tons of tapes of things that I hope one day will be unleashed upon the world. Even as someone who's been into Beefheart for 9 years (and really hardcore for the past 4 or so), I still discover new things all the time. Little sessions and bootlegs... a thrownaway song here, some random sketch there that never made it to anything.. currently, I'm looking for the Ice Cream for Crow sessions bootleg, which is individual recordings of the layers that made up the album. The tracklisting makes my mouth water. Track titles like "SEMI MULTI COLORED CAUCASIAN (guitar 1 only)" and "THE PAST SURE IS TENSE (bass only)". Only been able to find it once, shared on some shitty Zappa FTP bullshit, and it was impossible to get without going through a bunch of bullshit.
