For me, the SM v.2 was "A Long Time Comin'"! I'm so glad i finally unboxed it! Absolutely adore what it can do to cacophonous classics like this one!

Steely Dan - Katy Lied (1980s MCA CD issue)

This one sounds mighty fine through the SM, as most Steely Dan does. Haven’t really gotten into this particular record yet but I listened to the entire thing tonight and the Surround Master pulled lots of harmony vocals and tasty guitar playing to the rears. “Chain Lightning” was the highlight mix-wise. Really enhanced the listening experience. Sublime!

I speak tonight for the dignity of man...
I urge every member of both parties...


This record was a mind-blower when I first heard it, loaned by an older high school cat who played in bands, loved soul music & smokin' hot guitar.

This was not played on Top 40 AM radio.
You had to be in the know from word of mouth, college students, record stores, magazines...

We took great pride that Buddy Miles was from Nebraska.
Next came Super Session, Mike & Harvey with Al Kooper.
Exciting times.

PS- Appreciate the more artful & subtle photography of that little blue-eyed monster you're besotted with.:cool:

I appreciate YOU! And the flood of memories. And your musical tastes. And your vocabulary. Thanks for letting me know about those piercing baby blues! Peace

Great album that to me, is the transition leading to later SD. Listening to Citizen Steely Dan at the moment that has a demo of Everyone's Gone to the Movies
 
I used to BUMP Black Radio by the Robert Glasper Experiment in my classroom; students adored it, often requested it! I saw this chartreuse vinyl in the sale bin at Squeezebox; on the strength of the earlier release, i picked it up. It's nearly as good as the first iteration, which is saying quite a LOT! And it almost goes w/out saying that it sounds wonderful through the ol' SM v.2!

The original Black Radio sounds pretty dope through the SM v.2! Man, if i had bumped it this way in the classroom, We may never have done a thing beyond listen to music!

Hoo Boy! I remember picking up my first copy of this album at Rolling Stone Records, downtown Chicago, in the fall of 1980, on the Friday of the week it was released. Played it as soon as i got home – played it ALL weekend long. Life changer! I'm not really able to A-B this and the surround mix on the DVD-A, but what is happening through the SM v.2 reminds me of how i felt on 10 October 1980 – Life changer! The world moves on a woman's hips! The world moves, and it swivels and bops! The world moves on a woman's hips! The world moves, and it bounces and hops!
