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?

It is possible that WE have changed, but I was relieved to read your comments.

Steely Dan played a huge role in the development of my audio obsession, as Peg was a new single on the radio and I listened to Aja through Pioneer headphones through my Dad's Fisher 500.

A year or so later, I chose Doctor Wu as my first demo track for the impossibly exotic Magneplanar MG-1b's, an updgrade from my Infinity Q'as and my first serious pair of speakers.

Years later, I eagerly anticipated Nightfly and loved all of it so much that I delved back into the earlier records which of course are also very good.

I will say Mr Fagen gave a fine performance in 2003 when I last saw him live.

But at least the last two CDs?

It just sounds all the same. And I am bored, too.

I do agree that Godwhacker was an instant classic.

And dont get me wrong, I would still say I am a huge fan.

But most of the recent stuff does seem to lack some evolutionary dimension which has been a disappointment.
