Truthfully there's like 45 minutes leading up to this take of just breathtaking shit happening. They recorded some takes and then went in the control booth, listened, and talked about it. Esperanza told Robert that it was too dense and told him what she wanted out of his key work. The arrangement is so tricky that the musicians asked her to lead them with her singing (as she does in the clip) and the fact that she could remember such a complex thing that she had only just created (and with them!) is a testament to her brilliance. I was kinda peeved at the price, but I'm glad I came up off tat $60 for the lp
