Steely Dan Gaucho DVD Audio

 Awesome sound
The 5.1 mix nicely spreads out the original instrumentation. One thing that stood out is the brass in 'Hey Nineteen': with the words "no we can't dance together...no we can't talk at all" the additional brass alters the chords that go with these words - something that I don't recall ever hearing on the original mix. Not sure if I like this addition after having listened to this album for 26 years.

 A classic done right
This classic needs not much in the way of re-mixing, but this 5.1 is very well done. You'll hear sounds that you have not been able to hear to this point which makes this classic a reborn masterpiece.......especially in a car.

 Greatness...
This is a great experience for any Steely Dan fan. The later Dan albums from that era, Aja and Gaucho are known for heavy production and a good deal of nuance and depth... that's what makes them conducive to repeated listening. The DVD-A version of Gaucho spreads out the instrumentation so you can hear nuance that was never heard before. The strangest part in my opinion is hearing Fagen's voice so isolated from the mix... it's clear why they covered him up with many layers of production.
