Tama yung electric sitar effect. It was also used on the intro of "You Make Me Feel Brand New" when I took notice of that sound a long time ago.

An example of the flanged effect naman na kahawig ng ES can be heard on John Tropea's intro sa "Havana Strut" in Deodato's Whirlwinds album.

Pasensiya na po at medyo luma ang mga examples.

oks lang.. sa 70s songs nga mostly ginamit ang ganung effect..

i havent been a long time listener but ever since, ive been hooked.

anyone who has MP3s? pwede pa copya? bayaran ko nlng ung CD.

15 tracks lang meron ako. cgruo compilation lang to.

pwede pacopya ng mga CDs? cnong kumpleto?

deacon blues, meron ka?

Just in case, nahihirapan kang maghanap ng CDs or MP3s ng Steely Dan try mo sa LPs. Maraming available nito sa LPs. Mapapabili ka nga lang ng turntable to play them back.

I could give you references.

Ooooh.. a steely thread.

The songwriting rocks (The lyrics, melodies and harmonies just mesh), the session musicians kill, and that dry wit never fails.

My picks:

AJA, Black Cow, Rikki, Don't Lose that Number, Boddhisatva, Peg, Deacon Blues, FM, Reelin' in the Years...the list goes on.

Yet, TWO AGAINST NATURE seems to cruise steadily minus the 'ooomph' of earlier stuff, musically, that is - Just my opinion.

not really jazz for me. most of the musicians in their albums are jazz and pro session musicians hence the perception maybe. although for me "Aja" might be considered as jazz listening. most of their early work was pop-rock, and later moving into blues/jazz/pop.

i'm really gald i found this thread! i love steely dan. KID CHARLEMAGNE is my favorite. It's Larry Carlton who did the lead part....it's O-SAWM! tried to "cifra"...did fair enough sa chords but when i tried improvising over the chord changes...hell, i was lost! The best talaga STEELY DAN...never in my life i've heared somthing like what they play.......somone was asking kung anung GENRE ng steely dan....hindi kaya sila mismo eh GENRE na ng music? heheheheh!

LOVE STEELY DAN! yey!

It's really hard to improv over Kid Charlemagne, so you're still ok.

Anybody would like to do Steely Dan Jam II? Last time there was me and 3650guy (Nonoy) playing keys, Working Stiff (John) on the bass and Jim Ayson playing the drums. Kedy Sanchez was also there. Somebody whose name I can't recall now (whew, memory cells not working!) did the vocals.

The jam was played in the newer studio of Gig in Cubao. Anybody who wants to host is welcome, we just need to agree on what to play beforehand.

Nice!

Sana pumunta sila dito sa Pinas. Favorite ko ung buong Aja, na album, pero all of their albums are the best, walang tapon., lahat panalo.

Bad sneakers and dirty work ang current favorties ko naman ngayon.

slowhandpal · « **Reply #166 on:** May 18, 2010, 09:37:18 PM »

songs that caught my ears before

1. FM
2. Do it again
3. Dirty work
4. Midnight cruiser
5. Rikkie don't lose that number

Not necessarily in that order. but if one will force me to name just two.. hmm.. FM & Dirty work

About time may Steely Dan thread na dito!

Steely Dan is a different animal. Nakaka insecure ang kanilang pag ka perfectionist. I mean, listen to those solos, bass lines... what have you.

Sa time ng mga bands like CSNY, Dylan and all those rock/country bands, kakaiba ang trip nila.

Kid Charlemagne is my favorite song.

Gusto ko AJA (incl. Aja, Black Cow, Deacon Blue) and CAN'T BUY A THRILL (incl. Do It Again, Dirty Work & Reelin' in the Years) lp. Pareho nasa RStone 500 greatest albums of all time. Sabi ng Manufacturer ng Thorens Turntable, lumaki sales ng units nila ng 1970s dahil sa aja album. Di lang music maganda, pati yung recording. Na re-issue to sa Mobile Fidelity, 180g at mga anniversary issues. Up to now hot pa din ito lalo na sa mga audiophiles.

Although me copy din ako ng Steely Dan Greatest Hits 2lp at Ghits v2.

Yung Nightfly ni Donald Fagen okey din.

Try to score a copy of the Making of Aja DVD where the recording process is meticulously discussed and shown. Then you'll say "Wow".

Steely Dan (Donald Fagen and Walter Becker), just like Michael Franks' music is what we all consider, the "Thinking Man's Rock". Geeky as they may seem because they have a unique way of making their music. Although they are very much considered in the the Jazz genre. I had the pleasure of meeting them in person when I was working part time in a San Diego radio station during our annual Jazz fest. Very nice people.

Boddhisattva · « **Reply #174 on:** August 11, 2010, 09:12:38 AM »

Wow, that was a rare opportunity! The closest I've been to them is watching their concert in Dallas with Mike MacDonald 3 years ago.
