Are there any Sisters Demos or Songs where there's only a vocal track?

The start of Bury Me Deep, and some live renditions of Stop Dragging My Heart Around.

On a related note I believe the latest release of Rekordbox DJ software can spilt tunes into Vox, Instrument and drums so that might be a way around the problem / challenge / whatever your friend wants.

(I've a long standing hope to one day hear 1959 vocals up against a lovely grand piano insteand of that 'orrible one on Floodland if they do work it out (and also happen to know anyonewith a grand piano.))

there's some vocals only versions on you tube where people have stripped out the music and you can just hear the vocals; some sound good; some sound abit muddy - no idea how they've done this!

Lots of AI-powered services can split an audio track into multiple "stems", typically vocals is one such stem.
For e.g. (not exhaustive)

etc

They're not generally very good though. You might get passable results with uncompressed FLAC etc (and most of the majors have proprietary tools which use similar algorithms to these public-facing solutions, and they also seem to work well enough with the original masters), but if the original poster's 'friend' is hoping to use them for anything with a life outside of mp3 they might have to wait a few more years. Anything web-based will be unlikely to have the processing power spare to create anything master-worthy.

My initial experiments seem to bear this out too.

I do wonder though if, when time allows, I could separate a duff drum track and replace it with an AI 'enhanced' one? 🤔
