A click track is a recording (or an electronically produced sound) of metronome
like clicks. It's actually pretty common for some ensembe performances of
contemporary music, esp. when live electronics are involved.

A professional musician exposed to contemporary music should be used to
play with click tracks. Af course the question arises if a performance _ony_
hearing the click track (with later sound processing) is really "ensemble 
playing"
(not for me. These videos mainly demonstrate what can be done with modern
computer aided sound processing ...).
