This is a list I got off some newspaper article about strangely pressed CDs, many of which have negative seconds before the first track. I added a few more at the end... Better Than Ezra, Friction Baby, live French song, track 1, -3:22 Cracker, Kerosene Hat, 99 tracks, songs at 69, 88, 99 Dramarama, Vinyl, 99 tracks, "Stevie's Here" spread over tracks 16-99 Galactic Cowboys, Space in Your Face, 32 tracks, 10-31 silent, songs at track 21 -5:21, 32 Willie Nelson, Moonlight Becomes Her, Willie explaining the record track 1- They Might Be Giants, Factory Showroom, "Tokan Back to Brooklyn" track 1, -1:03 V/A, Songs in the Key of X, three songs before track one (or, Nick Cave track?) V/A, Twisted Willie, Johnny Cach and Waylon Jennings talking about Willie Nelson, track 1- ELO, Face the Music "collector's edition", snippet of track one played backward, track 1- Information Society "Hack", track is actually sound of modem transaction - story - According to what I read, if you play this CD into an old style "put up to the phone" analog type modem, a story will type out... how odd, huh? T.Power, Self Evident Truth, big track in - - Before the last track (not listed on the CD, by the way) is a bunch of negative seconds with some crazy sounds, a bunch of samples not really coming together into any kind of rhythm or harmony. FWIW - Bobby
