5.0 out of 5 stars Mobile Fidelity Sound Labs - Gaucho Steely Dan Superb Sound, December 16, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Gaucho (Audio CD)

The attached is arguably the best CD Steely Dan completed prior to their breakup or since.

This is the Mobile Fidelity 24Karat Gold Version in the orignial shrink wrap.

A truly outstanding piece of jazz inflected rock/pop that is simply hard to beat if you are a fan. The sound is superb thanks to MFSL technology and remastering and ranks right up there with the Super Audio Version on the SACD Layer.

This item is a collectible and you may find it periodically on Ebay for significantly more money and in U.S. $'s.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best, and in my opinion THE best, rock album ever, November 8, 1999

This review is from: GAUCHO (Audio CD)

Gaucho is a spectacular work. The musicianship is phenomenal, the melodies and arrangements are spellbinding -- almost heartbreakingly wonderful -- and the recording itself is rich, bright and a technical triumph. Steely Dan fans won't be disappointed by the lyrics, most of which are typically arcane. If you don't like it the first couple of times (I didn't!), keep playing it. You'll come around.

5.0 out of 5 stars The zenith of Steely Dan's star., October 31, 1999

This review is from: GAUCHO (Audio CD)

For those who thought it impossible, this CD is the cherry on top of Aja. Each cut is a tasty little world unto itself; each compelling in its own flavor; each tied to the rest by its pungent reflection of the times in which we live. The guitar in particular, both rhythm and solo, are so pristine (we're able to hear picks across strings especially well on Glamour Profession and My Rival) and well conceived as to be fascinating. None but Donald Fagen's voice would fit so perfectly. Gaucho is Steely Dan at its zenith. Sublime! This is the pop CD I'd put in a time capsule as a gift to future listeners.
