Yep. Seen that. Ripped a CD to put it on my media server, and noticed the last song to be over ten minutes long. Loading it into SOX revealed that there were two songs with loads of silence between them.
CDs? They used to do it on tapes too.
So I wore my wallet on a chain, which was the style at the time.
How do you put apple pay on your pants, grand papa?
Oh we didn’t buy things with apples as you youths like to do these days. Our apples were too big to use as money.
You could put a PlayStation disk into a CD player, skip a few tracks, and listen to the songs from the game
“As you can see, this is a PlayStation black disc. Cut #1 contains computer data, so please don’t play it. But you probably won’t listen to me anyway, will you?”
Not all of them, only if it had Redbook audio.
I have 2 CDs with this feature! When they end, I wait seconds or a minute just.
311 had a secret song before the first track. You had to rewind to hear it. Only time I’m aware of that happening (there’s probably others that I don’t know about).
X-Files movie soundtrack had https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=64LNLSpFa-o
I don’t know that I’d call it a song per se, but Brand New did this on The Devil And God Are Raging Inside Me. I think it was like a minute of stuff that seamlessly blends right into the start of Sowing Season. I don’t own the CD and I only heard that part once like 15 years ago, so I truly can’t remember what it was. Maybe like a message on an answering machine?
Edit: found it
Action Action also had those seamless transitions. I remember the first track would finish, and then the next track would start at negative time (ex: -00:30) and count to 00:00 (where the track would actually begin) with transition noise and music playing for those negative moments. I miss whole album concepts.
I was thinking, yeah Rammstein also did something like that. Looked it up and turns out there is a wiki list of all CD’s that did this. Wikipedia
Oh yeah? Well back in MY day the Dead Kennedys put out this cassette tape and all the music was on one side and the other side was blank and there was a note that said something like… oh what was it now… “Home taping is killing record industry profits! We left this side blank so you can help.” Yep that was really something.
She rode a horse into my head
She won’t discipline the children
And now they’re running wild on the beach
And I don’t care, oh, I don’t care
No, I don’t care hey, hey, heyI tried to think of something deep to say
But my well is dipping dry today

Just FYI millennia is a plural form: one millennium, two millennia. So you’re from a different millennium.
I was there, Gandalf…three thousand years ago…
Maybe he is over a thousand years old, don’t you see the wrinkles?
Then it would be “different millennia,” not “a different millennia.”
Those of us that were born before 2000: am I a joke to you?
Dude you’re almost thirty!
I’m also in that group, I only meant to write a direct parallel to the title, for comparison :-)
I figured, I just wanted to go along with it as a joke
“…and ripping that CD was annoying, because you then had an over long last track with the secret song, and you had to split the tracks manually and come up with tags on your own, or…”
(Seriously, the only reason I listened rarely to the last song in Halo CE soundtrack was because of this.)
I was always a fan of
.cuefor this. Dump it all into a big audio file and let the.cuesort it out.The CDs I remember with it would have the secret party track start with like ten minutes of nothing
I’ll never forget my surprise when I put the Half-Life 1 CD into a player and got the soundtrack.
hate how streaming just has the last song be 20 minutes of silence and then playing the secret song. for gods sake can we please just shorten that, it fucks with my playlists
Some cds were like that. Others had 90 1 second tracks.
liars debut album is an odd one, on vinyl the last 2 bars of the last song are on the part of the vinyl that repeats, but on cd they just repeated those 2 bars for the maximum length of a cd and now on streaming that song is like 5 minutes of music and 25 minutes of the same 2 bars
On Tool’s Ænema there’s a song on the liner notes called ‘Useful Idiot’ but it’s just a static loop at the end of the A Side of the vinyl, on CDs they put like 25 seconds of static there, which wasn’t really noticeable. It’s like a reverse secret track.
Marilyn Manson’s ‘Antichrist Superstar’ had 99 tracks. That confused the fuck out of me when I first put it in my player.
But thats the song. It’s just not the same without 80 minutes of silence in advance
Enjoy the silence.
“What’s a liner note?”
I was alone…
I was all by myself…
No one was lookiiiiing…
People do this on digital too.
