   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.

   (bass, 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.

   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 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.   
      
   It's a great interview, certainly better than Paul Shaffer's 'interview' last   
   year - I always thought that a collaboration with Don and Ben Sidran would be   
   interesting.. :)
