What are you listening to right now?

I had a new friend over this past weekend and one of the things I played was Steely Dan's Cisco release of Aja and I'm goin (to myself), what? That's not sounding nearly as wonderful as I remember. Spun it again an hour ago. Same thing and so I'm wondering . . wha happened? I figured it out. I was confused. I meant to play Gaucho (but played Aja). Gaucho is bigger and richer sounding. Vocals are more fleshed out and purer. The ladies in the chorus benefit a lot as compared to Aja. It totally kills Aja to me! The copy I have is a 180g pressing, as is Aja, but the sound is so much more satisfying. You try it and see what you think if you have them to compare.

My two favorite EJs Slush, followed by 11-17-70. Nice.

I bought all of his SACD's a few weeks ago and have been [slowly] listening to them in release order. Playing those two in one night was a real treat!
