BottomE Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 [quote name='bubinga5' timestamp='1459598227' post='3017942'] This gives you a limited idea of what there songs are about. its an insight to there profound genius, thoughts and lyrics. You might have to know your Steely Dan to recognise some of the terms.

It shined a light on some things - other references leave me even more confused .The songs are so good and the odd references and obscure lyrics somehow make them even better.

Oldman Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 [quote name='Phil Adams' timestamp='1459599955' post='3017962'] I supposed rightly or wrongly that they are largely about drugs. Test tubes and scales, chasing dragons etc etc. [/quote] Walter's 11tracks of whack is his drug journey I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bubinga5 Posted April 4, 2016 Author Share Posted April 4, 2016 (edited) IMO this is one of best grooves I've ever heard. Donal Fagen, Tom Barney again. Walter B. When i play with any musicians i want them to be as tight as these guys. its a big ask but if you don't ask, you won't get it. always best to look further than what you can play and push yourself imo. what i mean is timing, nuance, I'm obsessed with timing and playing around the beat, in an honest way and not a flamboyant one. this is just an excellent groove.
