I remember my friend accidentally found the negative track on a CD and called me up out of breath like aliens just landed. I think it was one of the early AFI albums.We spent the whole weekend checking for negative tracks on every CD we could find.

The negatives between songs were also pretty cool sometimes, Mediocre Generica by Leftover Crack makes very good use of them. Listening to it over streaming or even mp3s ruins the effect, unless someone captured the entire album as one file.

I wouldn't call it an “early” album but I found one of these (untitled 18-second intro) on AFI - DECEMBERUNDERGROUND: https://i.imgur.com/XAsFMSR.png

Some others I've run across in my CD collection include…

— on Jonathan Katz - Caffeinated https://i.imgur.com/4ghQadv.jpeg

— the track "Every Time Is The Last Time" on Bloc Party's Silent Alarm https://i.imgur.com/knhbZhA.png

— a kid606 remix hidden in the first track pregap of The Locust's eponymous https://i.imgur.com/sXVFrQI.jpeg

— the "Theme of Coon" (aka Riki) on the third disc of the SaGa Frontier soundtrack https://i.imgur.com/CqTTqpV.png

And one of these, the interlude at the end of “High Roller” on TCM's Vegas which is part of the pregap for “Comin' Back” https://i.imgur.com/G5PSCy3.jpeg

I think it was answer that and stay fashionable. We all stopped listening to them when black sails came out, so if im right about it being AFI, it was one of the first 3 albums, or the all hallows EP.



This makes me wonder how I ever found the hidden tracks on the X-Files soundtrack. Must have been an accident.

> Mediocre Generica by Leftover Crack

Those names are a rabbit hole event horizon. Album released 9/11, working title of Shoot The Kids At School was rej by label. Follow up was F WTC. Band lives in C-Squat...


AFI almost always had a "hidden" track after silence following the last track, I figured following the Misfits' tradition


“Midnight Sun” at the end of Black Sails always gets me
