Good catch. It was clearly symbolic - being in a different key and not resolving - but I couldn't place it.

It's definitely dark - but always makes me feel good. Supposedly he's got a new album coming out soon - looking forward to that.

Did you catch on the last track at the very end, he does a few notes from the first track of The Nightfly - closing the loop on the trilogy? At least that's what I think he was doing.

I'm digging Morph the Cat. I see what you mean about the darker harmonic language. Thanks for the recommendation.

They're all good. The albums definitely get darker. A lot of his songs seem to be about death and loss as he's getting older - which suits me fine. My favorites on Morph the Cat are Brite Nightgown and Great Pagoda of Funn. The title track's good too - not sure what it means, but kind of ominous.

I did Kamakiriad and Nightfly back to back. I didn't know about Morph the Cat, so I'm downloading it right now.

I'm rocking some Donald Fagen right now. Just thought you'd like to know.

I'm rediscovering Donald Fagen and this album, The Nightfly is sensational.
