Hmmm.... I always suspected it was further from being a finished
product than that. "Clouded Vision" sounds like it was still awaiting the
rest of the band's input, especially if you've heard it live, when it has,
like, drums and everything.  And "Love In Space" was awaiting vocals I
would think- although that one's fine by me as I much prefer it as an
instrumental. Granted there are other tracks which sound more complete,
but I still wish it were possible to hear it as the band intended- I think it
would be an excellent album.
