Can anyone tell me if they know, why do some groups have a long track on the CD: Let me explain:-

Queen Made In Heaven CD, has track 13 (not listed on the track listing) which is about 15mins long, but for the first 8 to 10 mins it is silence, the same with Swallow by Placebo, a 22min track, that plays for about 5mins, then is silent for the next 13mins, then some music arrives. :scratch2:
In both of these the music is not really relivent to what has been played before....is there something hidden in this silence, like the proverbial, if you play some records backward there is a secret message :para:

Does that explanation make sense :scratch2:

These are so-called 'hidden tracks'.
