== Pregap Track ==
* A list of pre-gap tracks (most of which are before the first song, sometimes called "track 0") can be found [http://en.[wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_albums_with_tracks_hidden_in_the_pregap:List of albums with tracks hidden in the pregap|here]] on [[The Other Wiki]]. Essentially, each track on a CD has Start and End markers; placing something before the Track 1 Start marker generates a pregap hidden track.
* [[They Might Be Giants]]' ''Factory Showroom'' album has the bonus track ("Token Back To Brooklyn") before' the first track of the CD. John Flansburg used the technique again for the second album of his side project, Mono Puff.
** The a capella "On Earth My Nina" uses the tune of "Thunderbird" reversed, and the lyrics are [[Mondegreen|Mondegreens]] of the [[Subliminal Seduction|backmasked vocals]]. Ironically, the backwards version was released five years before the original song.
Line 113:
** The Soundtrack to ''[[X Files]]'''':Fight The Future'' includes a secret track where Chris Carter explains the whole backstory to the conspiracy. A pity he didn't do it through, you know, the plot of the movie itself!
* Another track 0 type example can be found on the ''[[Final Fantasy VII]]'' ''Reunion Files'' soundtrack -- rewinding the first track allows you to hear the iconic "[[One-Winged Angel]]" ''without'' the [[Ominous Latin Chanting]].
* And another one on (some editions of) [[Rammstein (Music)|Rammstein]]'s album ''Reise, Reise'': rewind the first song and you will hear the last moments of the black box recording for the [http[wikipedia://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JAL123 |Japan Airlines Flight 123 disaster]] (currently the worst single-aircraft accident in history). It's a pretty horrifying listen. Unsurprisingly, it was removed from the Japanese editions of the album.
* The [[Sister Machine Gun]] album ''Burn'' contains a cover of "Strange Days" by [[The Doors]] in the pregap.
* [[Fall Out Boy]] has a hidden track in ''Folie a Deux'' ''before'' the first track: Lullabye, which requires the person to rewind the CD at the start of the first track.
