Thanks, that was a very insightful write-up. What is your take on the eight Clavinet parts? From what I understand there were only two takes each playing a different riffs: Clav 1 is the well-known main riff, Clav 2 complements it with a different pattern. All the other Clav tracks are one of these two either run through a (hi, mid or low) filter or through a delay.

Why did they use so many tracks to record the same performance with different effects when they could have easily applied only the effects they liked in the final mix afterwards?
