Extra fade out music and silliness.

Listening to Salem Hill's "Sweet Hope Suite" today, I wondered why the track on AM finishes at 27:54 whereas the one on my Cd is 33:54.........

At the end of the Cd there is EXACTLY 5 minutes of silence and then another 1 minute of rather goofy music. Strange boys those Salem Hill bods.

Do any of you know any other bouts of similar silliness on your CDs?

Hidden tracks are a mystery to me. Why are they included at all. Why not just put a bloody track marker on the cd and separate it out.

One of the first I found was Stone Temple Pilots - Purple (1994)

Jewel has a great hidden track that's a duet with her mother on one of her cd's (Spirit, I think).

But the worst offender is the crickets, chants and chimes on OPEN YOUR EYES' The Solution.

My solution is to usually break out the audio editor and snip off the offending track or add a track separator to the files and save it as a separate song.

And remember, anything you listen to backwards can't be GOD because that backwards is DOG.

I often go and get stoned wonder if go and get stoned these subliminal go and get stoned messages have any go and get stoned effect on the adult go and get stoned mind.

Probably go and get stoned not.

I buried Paul.

There's an original idea... not!

Marillion's This Strange Engine has a long period of silence. It tracks in at 30:23 on disk. When I ripped it for AM, it is only 15:41 because I cut out the long period of silence (pushing 15 mins) and removed the tomfoolery and hijinks at its end. I can, if you'd like, put the missing 15 minutes back in. I wonder if these are the same missing minutes in the Nixon tapes! :P

I remember at least six occurences of this, Keith, and I find it very stupid.

The last instance was the last song on Jim Gilmour's "Great Escape"...I purposely left it off the show since it was nine min of great music, then 3 min of silence, then a long piano part. I'm not wasting my time editing.

Hidden tracks are different. They're kinda cool. But silence in the middle of tracks (Pure reason revolution is another that comes to mind) is damn annoying!

Tool has like 69 tracks of one second each on "Undertow".

About SH's SHS: As much as I like that band, that song is done after 20 minutes for me. It's way overblown, then the slience ices it.

Vax worked for Nixon! Dump the dead air. I'm waiting for the rest of Dinosaur's story, but Keithie got me too stoned. Now I hear God.

That track is a spoof of a lounge act, it sings "The second album"...all in fun only. Encompass (a local band) has a faux Rap track at the end introducing the band. It's also a hoot.

You mean Kings X didn't do it at one point?

Not exactly. There are at least four discs that end with maybe a few seconds of laughing etc.

And "Mr. Bulbous" spilts the last track into two to fufill the record company "requirement" of ten songs So it's one song really but called "Move Me" part one and 2.

Yesspaz would be able to correct/modify my memory.

Remember, you asked for it. i was perfectly happy leaving Ty, Doug, and Jerry out of this thread

Weird thread timing. Uncle Moe's Space Ranch - A Thousand Days just played; it fades out 1/2 thru, then turns into a silly & badly recorded jam.
