Mesmerizing. Hypnotizing. Haunting. And oh, so beautiful! This is a hidden track on a compilation album of songs inspired by the much loved Fox series, "The X Files". The Latin title translates to the phrase, "Dread the Passage of Jesus, For He Will Not Return." The music for this song is actually a revisitation (yes,I made that word up) of "Better Go Home Now" by The Dirty Three with an entrancingly seductive spoken word by Nick Cave.
Time Jesum Transeuntum Et Non Riverentum by Nick Cave and the Dirty Three from the 1996 album "Songs in the Key of X: Music from and Inspired by "The X-Files""

I was a big "X-Files" fan around the time the "Song In the Key of X" album came out, so I bought it. It introduced me to Nick Cave via "Red Right Hand," which was a big moment in my life as far as music goes.
Later, I read somewhere that there was a track hidden before track 1, so that in order to listen to it you had to just sit there with the rewind button pressed down until you got to the beginning, at which point you had to quickly stop it, because if it went all the way it would just bounce you to track 1.
There are actually two tracks. One of them is Cave and the Dirty Three performing an excellent version of the "X-Files" theme by Mark Snow. The second is Time Jesum Transeuntum Et Non Riverentum, which utterly blew me away.
And still does.
