Man I can't wait until I have time to read this!  I am huge Fagen and Steely Dan fan!  I got myself canned from a job in the early 80's and to keep money coming I decide to try selling Health insurance to low income folks ....unfortunately the location was over 2 hours from home...Anyway I used to play Nightly Fly damn near every night loud as hell blaring from the little GTI's sound system.....anyway long story short...Mr Fagen saved my life more than once....Love the guy...it's a real shame Walter's demise came way too early!  I am glad Two Against Nature got the wide ranging recognition it deserved!

What a great article!  Got an "edumacation" on the differences between Analog and Digital recording methods....surprising that they like the 3M digital version the best!    Exactly the reason I gave up my Turntable fetish over two decades ago... 

 

Thanks to Josh for the post!   I never had any idea how little Donald knew about actual writing music!

 

And to read some think that  Morph the Cat was a better recording...which I agree...makes sense though with the benefit of 25 years later and the technology that the time period brought with it!
