Line 13:
Congratulations. You have just discovered a '''Hidden Track''', the trope where the [[Easter Egg]] and the [[Bonus Material]] make love inside a music album.
At its most basic, the '''Hidden Track''' is just a song on the album that isn't on the playlist.
The name harks back to when each song was a track running along the vinyl disc. It's still a very widely used term for individual music pieces. If you knew this already you should just roll your eyes at the lame squares who needed a widely used word explained to them, if you didn't then don't worry those other people are jerks.
Line 160:
* Silversun Pickups' EP ''Pikul'' has 7 listed tracks, with the song "Sci-Fi Lullaby" hidden after several tracks of silence.
* Dynamite Hack's ''Superfast'' has three tracks hidden this way, but only one contains actual music: "Just Another Day" is a snippet of [[Studio Chatter]], and "Laughter" is, well, a deliberately annoying two minute loop of band members laughing. The actual song hidden among silent tracks is more interesting - it's a [[Softer and Slower Cover]] of their song "Anyway" performed by vocalist Mark Morris' sister, Emily Morris.
* ''Kuolleen Kukan Nimi'' by Kotiteollisuus has a hidden final track. After "Satu Peikoista", a [[Tear Jerker|very sad song]] about a pair of troll children lost and dying in the woods, only a weakening heartbeat in a cold ambience can be heard. Once it's almost gone, it starts to get stronger, and is joined by some unsettling ambience that eventually leads to the hidden track "Alussa Oli". All of that is gone from the Spotify release though.
