The tracks from the latest album are a LOT better. They are obviously played by a human. Here's an example (search YouTube for 'Emily Howell music') [VIDEO] I'm really surprised the author of the article didn't try to get a snippet to play (edit: they do on the page 2 of the article). The music still doesn't quite do it for me but if you consider the potential of future versions it is pretty amazing.
