When NPS first came out, my wife and I were listening to it when she told me that I was too much into Prince. The cd had just ended and she continued to remind me that I was way too much into Prince. I argued with her trying to convince her that she was wrong. Just then Wasted Kisses came on and I totally freaked inside cuz I knew nothing of this hidden track! I became completely focused on the song and totally ingnored my wife and her words. I think it would be safe to say that she was right!

Ok, so if I was playing it on a regular player
then of course it wouldn't play for several minutes later.
hmmm

They are not blank. They are very short songs at a high frequency, beyond the human ear. My dog particularly likes track 17.

probably a bit of play with his favourite number 7 again. (7 x 7 = 49)

I think they are on the cd to make Wasted Kisses a hidden track. As I recall it
was also hidden in the booklet.

I remember playing the album a couple of times without noticing this song as I
stopped playing it right after (Eye Like) Funky Music.

At one point I was playing this album while on the phone with my sister. I
couldn'change the cd and didn't really notice the silence until Wasted Kisses
started playing. I was like eek
It has been my favorite track of this album ever since.

Yep, i think so too.

He did the same thing on TRC, but with less "silent tracks" and also the track at the end was just a bunch of noise as far as i can remember, and pretty short too.

I've heard it was a silent tribute to Miles Davis, who had just passed.

He did do that moment of silence, but that was on Rave.

As posted before, it was just trickery on NPS to make 49 tracks (7 x 7).
