Description
Overkill packaging as usual with tracking via USPS media for $4.00 and yes, I do combine. Since I have had a series of questions concerning shipping charges on combined orders I will try to be more explicit. Generally up to three lps ship as one, but shipping charges are based on weight not records. So gatefolds or double LPs or 180 gram vinyl all have an affect differently. Suffice to say, I don't try to make money on shipping charges and I am fair, so enjoy the auctions. Open records are cleaned with Ultrasonic cleaning system and in new 3 mil inner and outer plastic sleeve.
Sophisticated, distinctive rock group built around accessible melodic hooks, complex harmonies and time signatures, and a devotion to the studio.
Aja was cool, relaxed, and controlled; it sounded deceptively easy. Its follow-up, Gaucho, while sonically similar, is its polar opposite: a precise and studied record, where all of the seams show. Gaucho essentially replicates the smooth jazz-pop of Aja, but with none of that record's dark, seductive romance or elegant aura. Instead, it's meticulous and exacting; each performance has been rehearsed so many times that it no longer has any emotional resonance. Furthermore, Walter Becker and Donald Fagen's songs are generally labored, only occasionally reaching their past heights, like on the suave "Babylon Sisters," "Time Out of Mind," and "Hey Nineteen." Still, those three songs are barely enough to make the remainder of the album's glossy, meandering fusion worthwhile.
