The only problem with this theory is that the longest track on HALO with
vocals runs 5:20 (most songs between 4-5 minutes), and the longest of the bonus instrumentals is 6:09.  Perhaps you should give it another listen. There's plenty of texture, color, and that amazing gibberish vocal on cut 2 (or is that Swedish?).
