TWO AGAINST NATURE

Steely Dan releasing a new album after 20 years was one of the jazz-rock most anticipated albums of 2000. Long- term band hiatus did not take away any of the tandem trademarks: - Meticulously produced music with sharp sound, meaty instrumentation and precise playing. - Sound rooted in accessible jazz-rock without sounding dated. It is mainly thanks to the rhythm section that the album sounds contemporary. - Focus on motives rather than melodies. Instruments make up for lack of commercial abilities (fine for me).

The first three tracks and the last upbeat largely instrumental saxophone supported numbers are as convincing as any other Steely Dan highlights. This is the last truly impacting Steely Dan to me as the next one would lose the magic of perfection and creativity.
