From the blurb, the main selling point seems to be the two Poor Richard's tracks from the Ronald Nameth EPI soundtrack, which are hardly new. I haven't given the samples a proper listen yet.

Threadjack! Can AI boost the inaudible vocals on Sweet Sister Ray? FWIW, here's an attempt to boost the Sweet Sister Ray vocals with AI: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1WkOmP2tqr0n5RilyfFhKmEsbms9RJW-f/view?usp=sharing And a 2½ minute consolidation of just the vocals: https://drive.google.com/file/ ...
