Donald Fagen-Sunken Condos

Just got done listening twice to the new Donald Fagen CD "Sunken Condos". It's EXCELLENT!

Typical Fagen/Steely Dan affair, but a little more funky. Actually, it could have been a new Steely Dan album.

Yes, I am biased because Steely Dan is my favorite band, so they could probably sing the phone book and I would like it, but this really is a very good new album.

I favorite tracks are: "Good Stuff", "I'm Not The Same Without You" and "Out Of The Ghetto".

I'm still shacking my "groove thang" and the the CD has been over for awhile. This album seems to stay with you...

I have the Japanese CD, sounds good but I've never heard the domestic version.

My "Condos" CD sounds fine. Lucky I guess...

I don't know, saying Donald Fagen released a bad sounding recording borders on blasphemy! Not to mention practically an impossibility based on his well documented obsession with superior sound quality! I think what I said earlier about the music also pertains to the sound quality. Fagen's set the bar so high some people expect their systems to levitate or something!;)

Fagen's bar is set incredibly high

he lowered it a little with the way over emphasized bass on the Morph the Cat vinyl

Condos is stellar in the cd, and especially on the white translucent vinyl

Well, I don't expect my system to levitate, I just expect it to sound as good as Morph or the newer Steely Dan's and remasters, and it doesn't. I assumed these problems happen during the manufacturing process, but I guess I don't know much about it. Rebbi, maybe you and I just got duds.
