And on 1987's brooding epic "Don't Be Afraid",

The 10th track is titled "White Roses" and sounds as 55 seconds of modem noise. When decoded, text data is displayed revealing clues for of an internet scavenger hunt of sorts to collect 16 separate ARJ-compressed, password-protected files which add up to the completed "White Roses song" in WAV format. Most of the pieces are now lost, due to hosting being taken down.
The song itself is a dark synth and acoustic guitar epic clocking in at over seven minutes with an overt Alice in Wonderland theme of delusion and disorientation. The website Spacemutiny has a page of information related to this hunt and features an MP3 download of the complete song.

Pretty sure the original pressing was CD+G. In staying ahead of the times, their album "Peace and Love Inc." contained a track called
"300bps N, 8, 1 (Terminal Mode Or Ascii Download)" it was actually a text file encoded as modem tones. When decoded, the content is a tale by Kurt Harland about a bizarre but purportedly true event that took place when the band was playing in the city of Maringá, Brazil.

This Insoc CD was the *second* CD I ever owned. Listened to it and subsequent Insoc albums to the point of brainwashing.

The very first CD I bought was Kon Kan's "Move to Move". Heh.
