   > I think I remember something about Donald admitting he'd loved the track and   
   was strongly influenced by it, on hearing the track from Jarrett's Belonging   
   album, it's obvious, but Gaucho stands on it's own. Both are fine tracks   
   though.

   synth, drums, vocals, etc.) and even now, years on, I'm still learning more   
   about the song, such as sweeping synth solo at 04:22 - 04:23 and other nuances   
   which previously    
   could only be heard on a mixing desks with the master reels.

   > It's been fun taking the song apart to 14 different combinations of vocals,   
   bass, guitar, brass, synth, drums/percussion, etc. the problem I've got now as   
   that I want to do the same for the entire Steely Dan/solo collection, which   
   will take a while.    
   The process doesn't work with all songs sadly - I've been trying to isolate   
   the harmonies on Peg's chorus for example, but the frequencies are so close,   
   what comes back is mixed in with main vocals, but it still sounds amazing.   
   Their early material,    
   including the earlier demos like Stone Piano, etc. work particularly well.

   > The one thing I have been playing around with is changing the scale from the   
   original track to a Melodic Minor, Harmonic Minor, Dorian, etc. - it changes   
   some songs in ways you'd never expect, namely Aja, where changing the scale to   
   a major scale,    
   feels so wrong and yet changing the scale on other songs that use a lot of   
   major chords to a melodic/harmonic minor scale, almost gives the song a darker   
   edge, for example, Walk Between The Raindrops, now sounds like it belongs in a   
   David Lynch film ;) I'   
   d upload a sample but can't upload files on here.
