Fagen and Becker also decided to use many Los Angeles-based studio musicians, something that eventually led to the departure of all remaining “band” members and solidifying Steely Dan as a duo for the rest of their career. When the band entered The Village Recorder studio with producer Gary Katz in late 1973, they decided to write material without regard to live performances. Further, after the departure of front man David Palmer, Fagen was the sole lead singer, a role he did not like performing live. As a consequence, that second album did not receive good critical or commercial marks. This allowed them to proliferate on pop radio while hardly ever seeing the light of public performances.įollowing the success of Steely Dan’s debut Can’t Buy a Thrill, the group felt that the 1973 follow-up Countdown to Ecstasy was rushed and incomplete due to their hectic touring schedule not allowing time to develop the material properly. By expertly mixing pop, rock, and jazz intricacies into direct and succinct album tracks, the duo found a sonic sweet spot for the mid seventies. Composers Donald Fagen and Walter Becker started their studio practice of employing scores of session musicians to record just the right part, phrase or note so that not a moment is wasted on filler. However, after a few listens you realize that this may be the true genius of the album after all. Many of the songs do not even reach three minutes in length and the album as a whole barely surpasses the threshold beyond EP territory.
