Love it! Royal Scam is fast becoming my favourite Dan album.

Love the Fat Camp extension of Green Earrings too.

I found a nm first press of Aja this summer at a car boot for a fiver, and it sounds absolutely cracking.

Saw Steely Dan a few years back (without Walter unfortunately) and they played Royal Scam from beginning to end. I was like a pig in the proverbial. Kid Charlemagne and Caves of Altamira straight off the batā€¦great show.

Donā€™t think weā€™ve had this. I love it, even if it isnā€™t Fagen on vocals.

Couldnā€™t find the Licorice Pizza clip that uses it beautifully. Also, weirdly, this track reminds me of Aimee Mannā€™s Save me, from Magnolia, another PT Anderson flick.

Happy Steely Dan Sunday to those who celebrate! Hereā€™s a little bit of the extended Dan musical universe: The Dukes of September, a supergroup of Fagen, Michael McDonald, and Boz Scaggs. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=83IX8iKd_28&list=RD83IX8iKd_28&start_radio=1

Brilliant!

Royal Scam is now officially my favourite Dan album. I love Aja, but RS feels a bit more edgy and less polished, and is all the better for it.

From YT ( on Guilty Stem)
Here is the eight Live Dub clip in the series, this one taken from ā€˜Balearic Moodsā€™, one of my recent live streams on Twitch .

This showcases whatā€™s possible when DJing with multitrack stems using Traktor Pro, the NI Kontrol S4 Mk III and two D2 controllers on a Pioneer DJM-V10 mixer; these excerpts are posted to document my first days of full live and improvised experimentation with the format as I am exploring its awesome potential.

The custom stems were created using Hitā€™n Mix RipX Deep Audio, cleaned up, combined and then formatted for play using the Native Instruments Stem Creator software tool.
