	The Austin Chronicle Music: Countdown to Ecstasy
		Ecstasy ruled the roost then, and continues to this very day: This past April, the British drug czar noted that Ecstasy remains a veritable staple of nightlife across the entire United Kingdom, with an estimated 500,000 tablets and capsules changing hands every weekend.
		Ecstasy stimulates the tactile senses to the point where the whole concept of a back rub verges on the orgasmic.
		As far as Austin's Ecstasy situation, Burns says he doesn't think there's a boom under way, believing instead that much of what passes for MDMA on the street is actually over-the-counter cold remedy ephedrine, retabbed and packaged as the real deal.

	The Austin Chronicle Music: Countdown to Ecstasy
		On the East Coast, in New York City and Boston, at such nightclubs as the Saint, Studio 54, and the Paradise Garage, gay men took to the Ecstasy that was being manufactured in city-wide bathtub operations in numbers unheard of since hippies discovered LSD.
		At the tail end of the Eighties, an Ecstasy hub of sorts arose in the Midlands city of Manchester, England, which in turn spawned the wildly popular "Madchester" scene, home to Shaun Ryder's pharmacologically oriented baggy-rockers the Happy Mondays (and later Black Grape), the Stone Roses, the Charlatans, the Farm, and the Inspiral Carpets.
		Boston, April 29, 2000: Federal Agents seize 172,000 Ecstasy tablets with an estimated street value of $4.5 million, the largest seizure of the drug ever in New England.

	Steely Dan - Countdown to Ecstasy: Reviews, Track Listing, Audio Clips, and more \|\|\| Music.com
		Can't Buy a Thrill became an unexpected hit, and as a response, Donald Fagen [+] became the group's full-time lead vocalist, and he and Walter Becker [+] acted like Steely Dan [+] was a rock and roll band for the group's second album, Countdown to Ecstasy [+].
		The loud guitars and pronounced backbeat of "Bodhisattva," "Show Biz Kids," and "My Old School" camouflage the fact that Countdown is a riskier album, musically speaking, than its predecessor.
		Countdown to Ecstasy [+] is the only time Steely Dan [+] played it relatively straight, and its eight songs are rich with either musical or lyrical detail that their album-rock or art-rock contemporaries couldn't hope to match.

	Countdown to Ecstasy
		The track "Boston Rag" is a nice ballad with successful use of acoustic guitars; while "Pearl of the Quarter," is country influenced; and they use pedal steel on "Razor Boy." Their attempt to stretch out is exhibited in "Your Gold Teeth," but Dan is no jam band.
		Countdown to Ecstasy's best tracks are those with a rock tone.
		Countdown to Ecstasy is a solid album and like most Steely Dan albums is a great listen. by

	Pretzel Logic - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A tour supporting this album would be the last time any version of Steely Dan appeared live until decades later.
		Something of a compromise between the tight pop of the band's 1972 debut Can’t Buy a Thrill and the extended instrumental explorations of 1973’s Countdown to Ecstasy, Pretzel Logic included some of the most sophisticated pop music ever committed to vinyl and was unlike anything else on the radio in 1974.
		One of the standout tracks, "Parker's Band," was a tribute to legendary jazz saxophonist Charlie Parker.

		But "Countdown to Ecstasy" is by no means a lesser achievement.
		YOU will be in total ecstasy listening to Steely Dan's "Countdown To Ecstasy," one of the Dan's most supreme offerings.
		With COUNTDOWN TO ECSTASY, Steely Dan start to go from a pop group to a fusion band, blending Memphis-Chicago-Detroit-Great Plains blues/rock/soul and Brill Building pop with 52nd Street-style jazz, and the lyrics become more obscure.

		I think though it isn't as sonically good as "Aja", or as musically and lyrically good as "Katy Lied," it is a great place to start for a Steely Dan amateurs.
		Although Fagen and Becker continued to create wonderful songs after "Countdown To Ecstasy", they created a signature sound that always blew across my mind before I ever really started to listen.
		I could always say, "I can't identify the song yet, or the album, but that sure sounds like Steely Dan"--and be right 95% of the time.

	RollingStone.com: Countdown To Ecstasy : Steely Dan : Review
		Walter Becker and Donald Fagen were wiseass New York musician nerds stranded in L.A. in the early Seventies, and they poured all the cynicism and paranoia of that circumstance into Steely Dan, the most notorious studio band in the annals of classic rock.
		Their second album, Countdown to Ecstasy, was the only record by the reclusive duo written for an actual live band, and you can tell -- especially on hoo-ha!
		Like good stretches of the Stones' Exile on Main Street, this is a record where Steely Dan let slip their extraordinary mask of sarcasm, and could not disguise the joy in these excellent songs, or the fact that they were having a blast playing them.

	Countdown To Ecstasy by Steely Dan CD
		COUNTDOWN TO ECSTACY is more ambitious, complex, and layered than its predecessor, with a heavier dose of jazz fusion, more subtle and textured arrangements, and an even higher level of studio craftsmanship.
		Both "Razor Boy" and "Your Gold Teeth" demonstrate flashes of Latin flavor-- marimba-driven bop in the former, and salsa-cum-lounge jazz in the latter.
		It was clear in 1973 that Steely Dan was going to pave the way for modern rock and set the standard for their own progression and for the progression of rock in general.

	Robert Christgau: CG: Artist 1312
		With Walter Becker down to composer credits and very occasional bass, Donald Fagen progresses toward the intellectual cocktail rock he's sought for almost a decade--followed, of course, by a cadre of top-drawer El Lay studio hacks, the only musicians in the world smart enough to play his shit.
		With words that always mean everything they want to say and aural pleasures that signify, these songs are among Fagen's finest, and if their circa-1960 vantage returns us to the student memories of Countdown to Ecstasy and Pretzel Logic, their tenderness is never nostalgic and their satire never sophomoric.
		Fagen's acutely shaded lyrics puts the jazziest music he's ever committed to vinyl into a context that like everything here is loving but very clear-eyed, leaving no doubt that this is a man who knows the limits of cool swing and doesn't believe the world was a decisively better place before John Kennedy died.

	The Drummers of Steely Dan
		When Steely Dan arrived on the scene in 1972, "progressive rock" was in vogue, with bands like Yes, ELP, and Genesis catching the fancy of many listeners.
		Nonetheless, Countdown is the album that set the course for Steely Dan.
		They continued to refine and redefine their music with each successive album, becoming more exacting and demanding with the performances and the overall sound, while writing more stunning compositions.

		Countdown To Ecstasy was released and climbed as high as #35 in the Billboard charts, a big disappointment compared with the debut which went all the way to #7.
		This could be a factor in why Steely rushed out another album, Pretzel Logic, toward the end of the year.

		I am going to review the Steely Dan albums, not in chronological order, but in order of my preferences starting with what I consider to be their best album, Countdown To Ecstasy.
		That word forever associated with visions of Hedy Lamar flitting naughtily through the woods in her birthday suit.
		Altogether the mood on Pretzel Logic is a softening of the hard-core edginess heard on Countdown.

	Reviews of Jewel \| Spirit, Steely Dan \| Can't Buy a Thrill and Countdown to Ecstasy, and Energipsy \| Tamborea
		Founded by Donald Fagen (keyboards and vocals) and Walter Becker (bass and vocals), Steely Dan enjoyed great pop success, culminating in the jazz-oriented, Aja (1977).
		The band's first two albums, Can't Buy a Thrill (1972) and Countdown to Ecstasy (1973), remain classics, with innovative songwriting and adventurous arrangements.
		In addition to Becker and Fagen (who had been transplanted from New York), the recording sessions for Can't Buy a Thrill included guitarist Jeff "Skunk" Baxter, guitarist Denny Dias, and the late Jim Hodder on drums, with singer David Palmer joining toward the end.

	Pretzel Logic Music
		The rest of the album is fairly substandard in comparison to my favorite Steely Dan albums (like Countdown to Ecstasy and Royal Scam) which have better keyboard playing.
		While it's two predecessors stuck to the jazz-rock sound, Pretzel Logic marks one of the few times when they have expanded on it, with great results.
		And although their second album, "Countdown to Ecstasy" was half the hit of it's predecessor, I grew to like it more.

		Three solo efforts and two of the best of the Dan’s band mixes.
		Steely Dan was on the road during their first couple of albums; Can’t Buy a Thrill (1972), and this one Countdown to Ecstasy (1973).
		Both of these two albums reflect this with long, complex soloing, and interesting road music.
