Donald Fagen's Nightfly - Love it or Hate it?


I am intrigued by this album. The first time i I heard it I was immediately hooked - I love it's laidback sound with puchy lines and funky beat...

What do you like (or hate) about it?

Did you know that this album employed a computer-based audio sampler system known as WENDEL II?
It was pioneered and designed by Roger Nichols. I spoke to him today about the two albums that he engineered - Gaucho & Nightfly. Some interesting stuff!

The WENDEL system is MIDI's pre-runner... Based on a 3 mHz Compal computer with 50kHz/16bit sampling!

Some trivia for you...
