Morph the Cat makes me run to turn down my subwoofer level control every time...not sure if that was intentional or a mastering error or what...but I bet there's more than one blown woofer in the wake of that album.
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...

Wolf-garcia, I think it's deliberate. Somewhere on the 'Gon there is a thread about Morph when it first came out. Somebody posted that they took that CD to dealers to evaluate the low end performance of speakers, and somebody else in the thread jumped all over them saying that the bass on that album is bloated and exaggerated and should never be used to evaluate anything. I also have the vinyl and if anything, the bass on that version is MORE pronounced! |
Here's a nice article about recording "Sunken Condos". |
