Aja.....never really got into Brew and I like Mile's early work better.

I wanted to write this the other day when my internet connection played truant.  Chicapah's Steely Dan reviews are awesome.  Not that his other reviews (he's done beautiful ones on S Wonder on the JMA website) aren't, but especially the Steely Dan ones rock.  I do disagree with his assessment of Gaucho, which toes the conventional line, and go along with Ian McDonald's reading of the album instead.  Nevertheless they are all very informative and passionately written reviews.

yes.. that was one HELL of a review Clap  Perhaps the best of the bunch if I was forced to pick one. Everything a review should be IMO.

Went with Aja, one of the prime "prog music during sex" albums.
I suppose you could have sex with Bitches Brew, but the atmosphere might be off-putting.

The smooth lounge style of Steely Dan really does nothing for me at all. Miles gets it.

Steely Dan, Aja.
When he rides, my fears subside.
For darkness turns once more to light.
Through the skies, his white horse flies.
To find a land beyond the night.

Probably Bitches Brew, but I've never heard of Aja, so I let more informed listeners decide.

Both great albums but it's Aja for me.  Stunning musicianship and Fagan at his lyrical best.  Steve Gadd kills on the title track.
