I'm having trouble parsing the following, so explanations as to how you arrived at the answer would be appreciated....
12) Wonderful picture needs contemplation, inspiring new set (4-3)
M???-??E. Is it "must-see"? If so, why?
15) Drug expecting evidence slower? (5,4) ??E??, ?U?P. Is it "speed hump"? If so, why does "evidence" mean "hump"?
18) Vacant seat at Table (Uppercase T) (5,8) ??E??, ?E?I?O?S. Is it the name of a person? Steve Perilous fits....LOL!
19) End of active working age in Colorado (3) ??N
Thanks in advance.

12 Muse = contemplation, with anagram ('new') of 'set'. Mus tse e. Must see, wonderful picture.

Thank you all but I still cannot parse clue 19. Eon is age but what does Colorado have to do with it?

I haven't checked - maybe Eon is the American/Colorado spelling, Aeon in English?

Hi trelos,
I think it may be a geological reference concerning the active working age (volcanic activity) and its end which left the core rocks and formations of Colorado. (Thanks to Wikipedia!)
It also works as,
End of active - E
Working - on
