	The problem here is that the track splits on the disc and those 
listed on the sleeve aren't the same. The sleeve tells you:

1. Brainstorm
2. Hawkwind in Your Area
3. Alchemy
4. Love in Space
5. Rat Race
6. Aerospaceage Inferno
7. First Landing on Medusa
8. I Am the Reptoid
9. The Nazca
10. Hippy
11. Prairie
12. Your Fantasy
13. Luxotica
14. Diana Park

but the disc lists only 12 tracks precisely because as far as it's 
concerned track 2 is `Alchemy' and track 4 is the outtro of `Love in 
Space' and then `Aerospaceage Inferno'. But on the unbroken track 1 the 
synth part of `In Your Area' starts at 04:24. So I guess that what 
you've got is a rip of this track which tastefully quits just as Rizz 
opens his trap :-) Should be easy enough to identify though, if it ends 
with a bit of a calming movement involving a certain amount of Ron bass 
noodling (as lamented by me in earlier post) and then just as it quits 
is going all `Camera That Could Lie'... You can't say `hope that helps' 
sincerely these days but I do, yours,
