Onhwy61-Thanks for the heads up on NIGHTFLY!!. I must of been living in a cave to not have had this in my collection. Great sound, not good, GREAT! Really enjoyed listening to it today. Thanks Kevin
is it just me, new Steely Dan cd's too brite snare
I've had this debate on a Steely Dan webpage
several of the latest dan albums
Two Against Nature and Everything Must Go
and the new Donald Fagen album
seem to be recorded beautifully, all the nuances, close mixed horns, incredibly lush mix
everything perfect except for the snare drum which is way up in the mix and headache inducing
it isn't my sytem and it's worse on Two Against Nature
especially the title track and West of Hollywood
it's so bad I have to listen in the next room
EMG recorded in analog is a little less bright
and Don's new spectacular Morph the Cat (MtC) has some hot snare in the mix
the last two albums feature Keith Carlock who is an incredible drummer, but Don has him in tight snare timekeeping with little room for fills on most of MtC
has Fagen lost his upper frequency end of his hearing?
is he mixing things hot for jumpy mid fi reproduction?
or am I hallucinating?
