Being a Steely Dan fan of yore, I immediately saw similarities! A happy discovery, this one, then, apart from the slightly cheesy lyrics. It's got a lovely groove to it and it's been on all of my players non stop, and sounding great especially with headphones on my new toy, a FiiO X5 III

Following F1eng's post of the St Matthew Passion, I did a search. I settled on this version; it is not stellar recording quality but it has a nice rhythmic feel and seems... to take it's time about things. Berlin Alte Music, René Jacobs.
I must find F1's version; you can't go too far wrong with the Berlin Philharmonic. Nonetheless, my Deezer version worked its magic on the household wildlife, and that sets the bar for me in terms of reproduction quality.
