Album Notes & Community Reviews

Steely Dan co-founder Donald Fagen's second solo effort is an eight-track conceptual narrative detailing a journey in a futuristic, steam-powered car. Produced by his long-time partner Walter Becker, the pristine, jazz-funk arrangements flawlessly execute its cyber-pastoral themes and paved the way for their formal band reunion.
