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 hope it is much, much, much better than "Morph the Cat" What a dog!!!!

Is "Sunken Condos" available on CD (yet)?? Or is vinyl the only medium for now??

"Countdown to Ecstasy" was an excellent jazz venture. For me, "Two Against Nature" was a bust. Will have to give it another play.

Currently, revisiting Fleetwood Mac. "Tusk" has a few turkeys, but over all a very good album. Received but still have not listened to early Mac's "Boston Blues" live compilation from 1970.

I was happly to discover that I sold, lost, or gave away my vinyl copy of "Rumours" Lovely elevator music, but torturous to listen through in a one sitting.
When I was searching for "Two Against Nature" a few years back, I posted a question on these fora and learned the following:

Really Sunnyjim?? I think Morph the Cat is a near perfect album.
Anyone else love MTC?
Morph is a great album (except to sunnyjim and my gf) and usually only engenders criticism among those comparing it to other "Dan" stuff...a useless but understandable exercise especially relative to the mountains of crap released in the pop music world every day. Among my musician friends it's always a big deal when something new comes along from the twisted minds of Becker-Fagan...refreshing. Recently a reviewer commented on how simple "Reelin' in the Years" was as a little pop song and all I could think was "really?!" Back then everyone in the working musician world I knew virtually stopped in their tracks and said, "who ARE those guys?" As for my own useless comparison exercise, Gaucho. A grammy for engineering and maybe my favorite guitar solo ever from Larry Carlton in "Third World Man." And for those who missed it...Walter Becker's "Circus Money" is astonishingly hip stuff.
