VOILA!!!

"It's a boy, Mrs. Walker; it's a boy"
Yeah, it's that song "Glow Girl" which was the bonus track on the 1995 reissue. And one theme from "Rael" was later made into "Sparks"/"Underture".

I can see a similarity between "Caroline" and "This Is The Time" in that usage of the rhythm machine, but "You And I, Part Two" and "Soul Drifter" feel very different to me; the other sounds like a childrens' song and the other is supposed to be a sophisticated Tin Pan Alley composition. "Family Man" and "Surrender The Rain" feel very different too. But perhaps there's something I'm missing.
