"I can do a pretty nice defibrillation with the Ktistec machine," adds Becker, helpfully. So would yours truly come out of this Dan interview in one piece? "We've never lost anyone yet," laughs Fagen, not entirely convincingly. According to the former, the Dan guys have "mellowed" and are now "more easy-going". To put more flesh on them, additional details were sourced from two engineers who were pivotal to the latest Steely Dan album Everything Must Go: Elliot Scheiner and TJ Doherty.

"Your house looks very nice!" interrupts Walter Becker, apparently looking at pictures of the author's family and residence on the Web. So Walter, about your studio in Hawaii, Hyperbolic Sound. For their new album Everything Must Go, however, they've returned to analogue tape and live band recording.
