In a perfect world, would everybody's expectations be satisfied? Donald Fagen will probably stick to the same formula for his new album. It's a pity Victor Feldman is not around anymore for the vibes. Anyway, let's "flaunt the imperfections", and look forward to Steely Dan's next album, hopefully due out by Xmas. And pigs might fly!! Cheers, Mike.

Of course that's completely unrealistic, but what if Jamiroquai has been pulling our leg and is in fact going to release TWO albums this year, hence the delay? Wouldn't that be great?<br /><br />I don't need to tell you how notorious DF is for demanding studio perfection (although perhaps he is a bit more laid-back about it these days). Since he's already written the material, according to what he said, all that would be necessary is for the arrangements to be put in place and for the performances to live up to his high standards. I have to wonder though what direction he intends to take his new album from a musical perspective? Will it be similar in approach to MTC, or perhaps closer to The Nightfly? Or maybe, just maybe he'll utilize a wider array of instruments such as flutes, vibes, maybe throw in some strings.

You&#...I know Abe Lincoln said something like that. You're right about the quality of the music. Let's hope J's new album goes back to their great earlier funk/acid jazz sound. Some of the J remixes are quite good, especially the less "disco" orientated ones. I have heard some Steely Dan remixes that are pure crap. There have been some good remixes of tracks like "Do It Again", and "The Fez". I wouldn't like to hear remixes of "Deacon Blues" or "Negative Girl".

In Jamiroquai's case, it wasn't so much that they changed their sound that was a problem but that the tracks lacked the quality of the material found on previous albums. Once people become accustomed to a specific sound, they expect it in all future endeavors. When Steely Dan evolved their jazz influences to the point that it took precedence over their rock influences, many people felt like SD had died (i.e. with Aja and Gaucho). But it's like John Lydgate once said: “You can please some of the people all of the time, you can please all of the people some of the time, but you can’t please all of the people all of the time."

I love the band, but I prefer the original album studio tracks, especially on albums like "Emergency on Planet Earth". Wikipedia makes the reference "By their fifth album, A Funk Odyssey (2001), they had evolved so drastically, that some critics and listeners would remark they lost the "Jamiroquai sound".

I've heard others like Brand New Heavies and Corduroy but for the most part they lack the melodic sensibilities and stylish, refined arrangements of a Jamiroquai. Not that I mind raw funk with psychedelic leanings but it should have an endearing quality which allows it to age without sounding dated.Mikenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7758121285650208378.post-17589813066313648282010-03-26T18:42:18.891+01:002010-03-26T18:42:18.891+01:00LINK Pt 1
