Morph The Cat : Revisited


I recently purchased the Donald Fagan LP Morph the Cat. Man, I believe this is the best sounding rock LP i have ever purchased (at least one of the best). I saw a post a while back in which some posters felt that the LP was a disappointment in that it had no top end to it, and that it was bass heavy. I found that with a small VTA adjustment, the top end sparkles without losing the tight, deep bass. I love every song on this LP. It is much better IMO than the recent Steely Dan LP's. Anyone else have any thoughts on the sound of this LP?

If you have never heard Nightfly, which was Fagen's first solo effort I believe, you owe it to yourself to try and find a copy and take a listen. I own an original copy of the LP, and would love to find a newer copy, myself.
Donald Fagen and Steely Dan have always been a favorite, and I listen to the Nightfly album frequently.
There is a DVD of the Two Against Nature tour that really shows sides of Fagen and Becker. The video is a little rough in places, but the music is fantastic.
I own Morph the Cat on CD, so I can't comment on the LP.
But I love the CD.
Enjoy!

Morph the Cat better than Two Against Nature and Everything Must Go? Really?

Morph the Cat sounds like Fagen phoned it in. A couple of decent tracks, but nothing memorable. It's the first Steely Dan or Fagen album that I've yet bought in two or three formats, and doubt that I will.
Night Fly is a very good album and you will enjoy it., However, it was recorded at 44/16 and is forever strapped to that limiting factor.

As for sound, Morph will sound better, especially the DVD-A.
Actually, "The Nightfly" was recorded at 50/16 on a 32 track 3M digital recorder using 45ips tape. I believe it won a Grammy for best engineering and it is frequently used as a reference by engineers particularly for vocal recording.
