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! Klick klick | |

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

I guess it's just a fun thing when Prince hides a song like that...but we always look for them now. "The Lion Sleeps Tonight... | |

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 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). | |
