Talking of shocks, has anyone else out there got the Orb's remix of
Blur Pearl's 'Mother Dawn'? One of the tracks is all very mellow and
blissed out when suddenly, out of nowhere, eerie industrial noises
suddenly blast out of the speakers at twice the 'normal' volume of the
track. Scared the shit out of me first time I heard it.

In a similar vein is that track on Aphex Twin's 'I Care', all
backgound ambience until that sound like a snooker ball-filled sock
hitting a table gives you a heart attack.

This reminds of A Guy Called Gerald's 'Automannik' album on CD. Play
it through 'normally' and it sounds like the vinyl version, but rewind
at the start of many tracks and you get a few snippets of extended
samples and introductions.
