Album of the month Steely Dan - Aja - Sept 23rd 1977

Posted by Jon Harker on

Over year and a half in the studio, you'd be forgiven for assuming longer, produced the Steely Dan masterpiece and arguably ( no actually ) the most played record in hifi showrooms. 

Winning the 1978 Grammy for Best Engineered album, although it was pipped at the post by Rumours for the coveted album of the year title, one can but admire the brilliant production and sleek songwriting ( Deacon Blues takes sublimity to the another level and inspired a group of talented young Glaswegians to name themselves similarly )

The much discussed sound doesn't quite fit into the jazzfunk genre, in fact what genre is it? a frequently debated subject....answers on a vinyl sleeve please.

Recommended hifi pairing: Magico A3 speakers.
