New remastering of Steely Dan's Katy Lied review by Fremer


I don't have a turntable, but in this case, the remastered material is streamable. I did a bit of listening last night and it sounds a bit better, but it’s still far short of Aja, so there’s a let-down effect. “It sounds better” is not the sonic experience of “Wow, this is amazing.” 

Still, better is better, and I'll settle for better.

I’ve an original “digital masters series” version of the album that sounds very nice ( KL).  But for pure musical nirvana of SD, I love their final studio album “everything must go” especially the title track….very well done.  I also disagree with statements earlier about Fagans Nightfly album, I think it sounds amazing!

A little off point, but I became disenchanted with Micheal Fremer whom I had followed since the 70's after posting  comment on his YouTube channel. He was extremely rude in his response which shocked me a bit. Haven't followed him since. 

A more off point observation....I get annoyed when in his interviews, he is constantly cutting off his interviewees. I want to hear their thoughts, not your uncontrolled ability to constantly interject your "at the moment" thoughts.
