The
Japanese version of
Psyence Fiction conatains an amazing hidden
intro that can only be found by rewinding the first track into the "zeroth" track. This tune, which is presumed to be named "Intro (Optional)" as opposed to the "Mandatory" Outro, is entirely composed of
samples, mostly from
hit singles. The samples seem to go backward in time, and the
quality of the tracks sampled is simply amazing -- many of these are among my
favorite songs. It's like a history of famous samples and
samplers. One listen to this two and a half minute tribute to
great music reminds me of the immense joy and wisdom
pop music has brought me in my life. Jesus, just looking at the
