Well, Nicole, you're not off topic at all and precisely hit the spot. Every product needs a killer feature -just like the iWatch needs a killer app. At the time I kept wondering why Soul Messiah (album version, not the annoying single) had not been elected for an european release, and then had the same questioning for Call Me. And before that, although Gallery was played live multiple times as the opener song for the concerts, the audience couldn't buy the track. Farther back in time, Astral Body was performed in SLC but was unavailable except on Dreamscapes, which was a limited edition...

Thank you! I'm glad I made somewhat sense! Anyways, I agree with you. I personally feel that if the fans like the song or songs, it should be included in the album and not just a "tease" I guess you would call it. The only way an album could make sales and becomes popular is only if the fans like it and buy it. Otherwise, it won't make it. I definitely agree as well when you mentioned every product needing a "killer feature" or something to make the people or fans want it. one thing I love that AV does is make demos for their songs. I have to admit, a lot of the demos are better than the originals, but not in all cases of course. I believe adding the demos was a smart thing to do because it gives the fans more of a choice of songs, if that is clear. It's just one of those situations that can go in many different directions either in a positive or negative way.

Some of those songs have never been released, MarianGoldfan. There are some titles there that could have made it to Strange Attractor but didn't, or they were played live but not included in any previous album. =)
Edit: It took me long to write this message, but I guess one more answer won't harm.

There ought to be a new Dreamscapes set... I'd kill to get another one with tons of CROG demos, along with some other ones which are currently unheard of. Maybe a Night Guard recording? NG is basically an early draft of Guardian Angel, from what I can tell.

Criminal Girl actually was released online quite some time ago, though the audio quality is a bit poor (the original MP3 is 128kbps). It would be nice if a CD-quality version found it's way on another boxset, and it's honestly too bad that it wasn't put on Strange Attractor. It fits the mood of that album well (moreso CROG).
