sorry to ruin the surprise if you don't already know but 'think tank' has a hidden track called 'white noise'...but it ain't 20min or whatever after the last song...
instead they've used the david gray 'white ladder' technique in that's it's right before track 1, so you have to rewind the cd backwards through the hidden track and hope you release your finger somewhere near the start coz if goes past the start it just plays track 1...
still not sure about the album as a whole yet but it has some terrific stuff on it, esp. 'good song' which is amazing...

Can someone point out the attraction of 'hidden songs'...is it supposed to be a 'nice surprise' ...Cos I don't really get it and usually when one comes on (especially the one on the Coral's album) it scares the beejaysus out of me cos I've forgotten the damn thing was playing and this big wailing guitar booms out of nowhere and gives me the fear.

I agree. They are an almighty pain in the arse to MP3. If it's on the album, it should be listed.

nothing worse than gently falling asleep to an album only to be rudley awakened by it's poor quality hidden track dumped 20 mins after the end...

I think that's the point, kids.
My favourite buried track is on the Ben Folds Five album "Whatever and Ever, Amen." A couple of minutes after that last song fades, you hear some guy shouting...
"Alright, I've got your hidden track for you. Ben Folds is a f**king asshole".
Just about sums it up, no?

That Blur Hidden Track is weird, and not particularly good. That hidden track before track one on Guerilla by the Super Furries is one of the best songs on the album, methinks, but why didn't they just make it the first track??? Hidden tracks are silly, 'cos they just remind you of the format limitations and are nothing to do with the art itself
