Whats on your turntable tonight?

@mwinkc That's one of the fun things about this thread.  I'm often reminded of things I haven't listened to in a while, or hear of things I haven't before.  It's great for discovery of new/old music.

I've listened to that recording many times digitally and it's my second favorite Fagen album next to the Nightfly, but I'd always felt like it was a bit bass heavy.  Listening to the vinyl, I still had a bit of that impression.  With the vinyl I got a better sense of the musicians being a little looser than the typical Dan/Fagen affair.  The music is really "dense"... there's a lot going on there, but it was easy to pick out all the different instruments and vocals and the bass made it a visceral experience, close to listening to live music.  I think I paid way too much for that record in some ways, but at the same time a listening experience like that which I can repeat again and again was well worth it.

Glad you enjoyed it!

I would have to second Eric's opinion on Madcap Laughs.
It is plain scary but not surprising when you consider the mind it came from at the time.

A little saner on now.

@bkeske,

Just finished my first listen to "Thanks for the Dance". A little different than "You Want it Darker" in that there's a little more here in the way of vocal accompaniment, some solo guitar, and some chorus. His voice is still very deep but I think on "YWID" his vocals are more precise/crisp. I'll listen again today sometime I'm sure. Side one has some small ticks so I slow steamed it and back in the Vibrato.

SQ is great. On first listen, I think I like 'YWID" more, we'll see. They are both great records.
