separator Posted 5 November 2013 Share Posted 5 November 2013 http://www.nme.com/blogs/nme-blogs/dont-let-the-secret-album-track-die Always loved a good hidden track on a CD. Final track finishes, a few minutes of silence then an unexpected song starts, often not listed on the album sleeve. MP3 downloads may render them to a thing of the past. Travis The Man Who album... about 4 minutes after the final song finishes http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wCbErWNRv1g Life Is For Living, hidden on Coldplay Parachutes album http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vNWCryln7xM I'm sure there are plenty more hidden gems out there.

Trav Le Bleu Posted 5 November 2013 Share Posted 5 November 2013 I prefer the Jacknife Lee Version of Reason Is Treason on the end of Kasabian's eponymous debut album, to the original. The first time I can remember it was on Nevermind, which is one I still quite like - just a riot of noise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AoWW Posted 5 November 2013 Share Posted 5 November 2013 Hidden tracks really frustrate me, even if they are genuinely good tracks. It's the fact that you get to the end then, if you're not really concentrating, you realise you've been listening to silence for ages as you've not yet got to that last hidden track. It's not so bad if the gap is only of a few minutes, but some are 10+ mins. Frustrating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
separator Posted 5 November 2013 Author Share Posted 5 November 2013 The final song on The Verves Urban Hymns album finishes then has about 10 minutes silence followed by a few minutes of noise. I put the song (Come On) on a jukebox in a pub once expecting only the actual song to play, All 15 minutes played, 10 of which were silent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hairy Posted 6 November 2013 Share Posted 6 November 2013 The Stone Roses and the Second Coming CD have 100 tracks. When the album itself finishes you have to wait 85 tracks to get to the hidden track. They did it to stop people playing it on random but it sucks really.

Bellend Sebastian Posted 6 November 2013 Share Posted 6 November 2013 The Stone Roses and the Second Coming CD have 100 tracks. When the album itself finishes you have to wait 85 tracks to get to the hidden track. They did it to stop people playing it on random but it sucks really. I tried listening to it a few months ago. Tracks 14-84 are definitely the best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobHawk Posted 6 November 2013 Share Posted 6 November 2013 yeah. "no-one was looking, I was thinking of you, all by myself" Ha! i could sing it too but wasn't sure of the exact title! Good song though! reminds me of my youth! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrsJohnMurphy Posted 6 November 2013 Share Posted 6 November 2013 Has a cracking Kylie remix that you get to by starting the CD and rewinding from track 1, its actually at the start of the LP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Oxlong Posted 6 November 2013 Share Posted 6 November 2013 Alt J have one on their album about 5 mins after Taro. Don't think they should have bothered though as not a patch on the rest of the album IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain... Posted 7 November 2013 Share Posted 7 November 2013 Ash 1977, about 10 minutes after the last track it's just a recording of them pissing around drunk in the studio vomitting everywhere, that was the first one I heard and it fair shit me up, thinking the CD had finished then hearing these random drunken voices in my room.

Free Falling Foxes Posted 6 May 2014 Share Posted 6 May 2014 Sgt. Pepper has a track that's so well hidden that you'll never hear it - unless you're a dog! There was also some backward stuff on the play-out groove (I'm talking vinyl here) which you only heard if your tone arm didn't automatically return at the end of the record. The last few words probably meant nothing to our younger listeners!! Explanation here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
