separator Posted 5 November 2013 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 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!
AoWW Posted 5 November 2013 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.
separator Posted 5 November 2013 Author 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
RobHawk Posted 5 November 2013 Posted 5 November 2013 There's a good secret track on Greendays Dookie. I beleive it's called all by myself
Beliall Posted 6 November 2013 Posted 6 November 2013 There's a good secret track on Greendays Dookie. I beleive it's called all by myself yeah. "no-one was looking, I was thinking of you, all by myself"
hairy Posted 6 November 2013 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 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
RobHawk Posted 6 November 2013 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!
MrsJohnMurphy Posted 6 November 2013 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.
Mike Oxlong Posted 6 November 2013 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
Nick Posted 7 November 2013 Posted 7 November 2013 Pearl Jam: 10 Nirvana: Nevermind And weirdly Alanis Morisette's 'Jagged Little Pill' has one too.
Captain... Posted 7 November 2013 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.
Nick Posted 7 November 2013 Posted 7 November 2013 Great shout - I had forgotten about that. Gave me weird dreams and woke me up very confused one night!
The People's Hero Posted 7 November 2013 Posted 7 November 2013 Pearl Jam: 10 Nirvana: Nevermind And weirdly Alanis Morisette's 'Jagged Little Pill' has one too. The Alanis one is weird.
Steve_Guppy_Left_Foot Posted 17 April 2014 Posted 17 April 2014 The Roses Second Coming one is very strange. Shows they were all off their tits when they made it.
howlinmadmurfdoc Posted 20 April 2014 Posted 20 April 2014 David Gray- White Ladder has one before the first track.
Free Falling Foxes Posted 6 May 2014 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
