Steely Dan: the Making of the *Aja* album.




A quote of the documentary below particularly worth remembering:



One interesting thing about Donald and Walter is that perfection is not what they are after. Theyʼre after something that you wanna listen to, over and over again. So, we would work then past the perfection point, until it became natural, until it sounded almost improvised in a way. So ʼtwas like a two-step process: one is to get to perfection, and the other is to get beyond it, and to loose it up a bit so that it didnʼt have to be the perfect, squeaky-clean goal. And itʼs quite an amalgamation, thatʼs for sure. And itʼs interesting to know that it could be a hit. ~Dean Parks, min. 25:06.
