Pre-Order: Donald Fagen - Kamakiriad [Limited Edition]

Buckle Up for a Thrilling Ride: Donald Fagen's Kamakiriad Peers into the Future, Marks Long-Awaited Reunion with Steely Dan Cohort Walter BeckerExperience the 1993 Concept Album in Audiophile Sound: Mobile Fidelity's Numbered-Edition Hybrid SACD Plays with Exceptional Transparency, Presence, and DetailKamakiriad would be notable if only for the fact the album marks a full-on reunion of the two Steely Dan cohorts more than a decade after they splintered. For all the creative sparks that result from the long-awaited regrouping of Donald Fagen and Walter Becker, the 1993 record remains significant for many other reasons - from the hopeful narrative to the sharp playing and adventurous arrangements. Ostensibly an eight-song concept album based in the future, Kamakiriad loosely chronicles the journeys of a protagonist touring in his state-of-the-art roadster - a steam-driven Kamakiri equipped with it's own vegetable garden and radio link with a then unheard-of satellite navigation system. Imaginative, colorful, and zany, Kamakiriad demands repeat listens by always seeming to reveal something new.Sourced from the original masters and housed in mini-LP-gatefold packaging, Mobile Fidelity's numbered-edition hybrid SACD presents the Grammy-nominated Kamakiriad with expansive soundstages, deep-black backgrounds, pinpoint details, and full-range dynamics. Playing with exceptional transparency and balanced tones, this is the first audiophile version of Fagen's sophomore effort apart from a long out-of-print DVD-A - a disc this release surpasses in all critical areas. Those include the definition and imaging that highlight the contributions of a lineup that includes a Who's Who of session players. Push 'play' on this SACD and let the ride begin.Numbered Hybrid Stereo SACDNUMBERED SPECIAL EDITION
