I picked up the domestic LP5 the other day. I have to say I think I like this one much more than Chiastic Slide. Anyway, anyone know why they put that 8-9 minutes of silence in track 11? Is that how the Warp one is? Jeff

For what I know, the bleeps and bloncks at the end are kind of a bonus track. So the silence does make sense, not ? I mean it's the usual way of keeping the bonus track a bit more secret. Not everybody let's the cd run to the end but stops the playback as soon as he/She thinks the last track is finished ...

What exactly IS the deal with these so-called hidden tracks anyway? Usually I just sit here with the music playing away till it stops and I'm too pre-occupied to bother, and SUDDENLY I nearly jump out of my skin when unexpectedly noise emits from the speakers. Not really what I consider a 'bonus' as such. Shock treatment, more like it ... I *

agreed_ the 2nd future primatives soundsession cd with ztrip and radar has this. a co-worker about laid down after this 'bonus' kicked in. not so sure these are meant as much as bonus as they are intended as hidden, although the various other ideas for hidden material sound much more appealing (cd-rom portion and that thing that the x-files cd did where you had to go back before the first track) brap@sonic.net icq_12645306 http://www.sonic.net/~brap/ coming sooner than later: sfwd0004 - pre-mil·len·ni·um soundscapes 12" our future has never been so frightening: http://williamshatner.com/

i know that certainly doesn't apply to me. i think the most annoying thing about the 12 minute lag is that if i have the five-disc changer loaded up, it's like, all of a sudden, there's just no music. if they wanted to do somethign like that, they could have just as easily made the space maybe two minutes, five tops. or not at all. said it before and i'll say it again - hardly what i'd consider a "bonus" track. not really a track. love the rest of the album, tho... alan!

yeppers, appartently silence is on both versions. someone (alex?) suggested that the silence makes more sense if you put the entire disc on repeat - the 10 minutes of silence offer a brief respot and then the noise at the very end warms you up for the 1st track. i dunno, haven't tried this yet. anyways, i personally didn't get into lp5 as much as i did chiastic. i suppose i felt that cs put me in a more specific time and place while lp5 sounded really neat but didn't have any emotional effect on me. a couple of tracks (3rd and 7th) are indeed quite wonderful but as a whole it just did congeal... yet. ethan
