As many of you already know, the silent songs of The Rainbow Children were the best thing of that album

Hi, no big deal, still.. can anyone tell the reason behind this- very annoying with all that SILENCE on those CD's:

Newpower Soul: 11.– 48. silent tracks

Rave Un2 the Joy Fantastic: track 4. silent track

The Rainbow Cildren: 15.-20. silent tracks

20Ten: 10.–76. silent tracks

Aren't you annoyed with this, too...

Ok, so...

Nobody told Prince somebody else has done this. He thinks this is some groundbreaking unique idea that he came up with. If somebody told him billions of artists like They Might Be Giants have done this, maybe he would quit wasting time with it. I remember my 1992 TMBG cd with 50 or so tracks on it.

I still think Prince is the best out there, but he has followed more trends than he has set in the last 15 or so years. I still dare you to find a recent better written guitar album than Lotus Flow3r. He may have royally screwed his fans with the website, but the rewards within that one cd almost makes me forget about the $77 T Shirt that would not fit.

Does he?

Did he tell you this?

I think I was engaging in something called sarcasm here. I am sadly admiting that Prince has no idea that the Hidden Track thing is about as lame as My 88 year old Grandfather recording a rap album. Well, at least that would be funny.

The coolest hidden tracks to me have been the ones that are actually BEFORE the first track. I only know of 2 cds to do this (if you know of others, please list!). The X-Files soundtrack (tv show - not movie soundtrack) has a Nick Cave a the Dirty Three song before track 1 (liner notes state something to the effect that "remember 0 is also a number) and the Twisted Willie (Willie Nelson tribute) cd has a cool interview with Willie and Waylon. The only way to access them is to hold down the old reverse button on a cd player after you've started track 1. Any computer I've ever put them into doesn't seem to like the discs at all.

I used to have one that did that too. From what I remember, they weren't allowed to have the Compact Disc logo on them because they didn't conform to the red book standard for CD's or whatever it was.

Really cool way to hide a track on a CD though.
