	Metal Leg 22 - Critical views of Kamakiriad
		By contrast, 'Kamakiriad' recalls a time when musicians and producers would spend months or years in the studio in search of the perfect pop record -- and when melody, not crackling, jubilant noise came first.
		Just to prove how old-world it is, 'Kamakiriad' is one of those antiquities known as a concept album.
		'Kamakiriad' may depict a Grave New World, but one that's described so artistically (Fagen's singing is more expressive than ever) and juxtaposed with such graceful music and superb musicianship that it leaves you somehow feeling wonderful afterward.

	DVD-Audio Review: Donald Fagen - ‘Kamakiriad’
		‘Kamakiriad’ was also notable for marking the full rapprochement on record of Fagen and his former Dan partner-in-crime, Walter Becker, who was roped in as producer, bassist and guitar soloist once Fagen became insecure about producing himself.
		Of all the albums in the Steely Dan-affiliated canon ‘Kamakiriad’ is the one which divides the devotees.
		‘Kamakiriad’ is, at least superficially, a sci-fi story of a man driving a bizarre car/greenhouse combination across a ravaged futurescape, but that is really just a backdrop for Fagen to hang his usual hang-ups and in-jokes upon.

	Donald Fagen: Words and Music
		With Steely Dan partner Walter Becker at the production helm, Kamakiriad is a dazzling journey into a brave new world with some of the most adventurous music of Donald Fagen's career.
		Hopefully, Kamakiriad is successful, in that you can listen to it all the way through and get something out of it you wouldn't by listening to a song here and there.
		DONALD FAGEN: Well I think that in Kamakiriad the narrator's trying to reclaim some of his optimism, perhaps naive optimism, that he had as a child, and as it's spelled out in The Nightfly.

	Steely Dan is natural way to go
		Of the solo projects, Donald Fagen's Kamakiriad, released in 1995, was bay far the most successful in critical and popular terms.
		However, one thing that will strike Steely Dan fans almost from the outset is that, while Kamakiriad looms large in the memory of most listeners, Two Against Nature is first and foremost a Steely Dan record.
		As with every other album by the group, there is a consistent, underlying musical theme which is so strong that the record can truly be called a concept album.

	Donald Fagen Kamakiriad DVD-A - SH Forums (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Kamakiriad was an acquired taste 10 years ago; but it's been somewhere near one of my cd players ever since.
		On the video interview (behind the scenes) on the DVD-A, originally shot in 1993, Donald does mention that "Kamakiriad" is no different from a Steely Dan album, other than the fact that all but two of the songs are written entirely by Fagen himself.
		It would appear from the interview that Donald had all the songs written, with the exception of "Snowbound" which is a Becker/Fagen song (written in the mid 80's), and merely decided to ask Becker to produce.

	DVD-Audio News: ‘Kamakiriad’ and ‘Chicago’ DVD-Audio Releases [HFR]
		‘Kamakiriad’ is the second Donald Fagen solo album to be released as a DVD-Audio disc this year, following close on the heels of ‘The Nightfly’.
		Interactive menus guide the listener through the songs and, when available, additional audio or visual content, though it is not necessary to view the menus on the screen in order to enjoy the music, as the disc can function just like a standard CD if dropped into the player.
		This was a fascinating concept album that took listeners on a journey into a brave new musical world; a few years in the future, near the millennium.

	steely2
		As we noticed when listening to Fagen's second solo album, "Kamakiriad," several years ago, he and Becker, for good or ill, seem to have missed the last 20 years of musical evolution and innovation.
		The only modern accoutrement is meticulous digital audio, which, like "Kamakiriad," renders the sound (especially the drums) so crisp that it sometimes chafes; it's as if we're listening to more of grandpa's crazy stories, but this time we're squirming in our starched Sunday best.
		Again, we could have seen that coming after "Kamakiriad's" metered propulsion, but the change here is likely the result of Becker -- Steely Dan's bass player throughout its lifespan -- playing not only bass but most of the guitars this time out and thus controlling more of each song's heartbeat.

	Morph The Cat - Donald Fagen - Pandora Internet Radio
		If The Nightfly concerned the past and Kamakiriad was set in a hazy future, Morph the Cat is rooted in the present, teeming with the fears and insecurities of post-9/11 America.
		In large part this is due to Fagen's viewpoint -- he never succumbs to mawkishness, always preferring to keep things witty and sardonic, which helps keep things from getting too heavy -- but it's also due to his smooth jazz-rock, which always sounds nimble and light.
		More so than on Kamakiriad, or on the tight Everything Must Go, there is a sense of genuine band interplay on this record, which helps give it both consistency and heart -- something appropriate for an album that is Fagen's most personal song cycle since The Nightfly, and quite possibly his best album since then.

	Steely Dan Two Against Nature
		Steely Dan consist of Walter Becker (bass) and Donald Fagen (vocals, keyboards) and bring a smooth California-type easy rock sound that is both refreshing and relaxing.
		Thankfully the new Steely Dan album Two Against Nature is better engineered than Kamakiriad which may have wonderful music, yet is so harsh in the upper frequencies as to be virtually unlistenable on many music reproduction systems.
		This new album is still a bit whispy in the upper frequencies, but at least it is not overly accentuated as to be unlistenable.

	Steely Dan
		By now all the hoopla surrounding Donald Fagen's latest release, Kamakiriad - the brief sold-out summer tour and numerous press accolades - has died down.
		Kamakiriad is just plain fun to listen to and I would expect it to wear as well as any Steely Dan album.
		Thankfully, Kamakiriad carries on the great Steely Dan tradition and is hopefully a harbinger of great things yet to come.

		As The Nightfly was a modern man looking wistfully at his past, the bookend Kamakiriad was a apprehensive, quirky, clever, near future subconscious look at an uncertain future.
		It's a standard ploy of SF writers to dream up various bits of slang, colloquialisms, and other cultural artifacts to help deepen the authenticity of whatever near- or far-future society they're portraying in their story.
		The fictional placenames Donald dreamed up for the Kamakiriad world also tend to evoke a culture slightly different from our own--not to mention a whole bunch of poetic imagery.

	Rolling Stone : Kamakiriad : Review
		The sensibility he brought to Steely Dan and to his 1982 solo album, The Nightfly, was the self-conscious voice of a cerebral hipster who wallows in science fiction, gadgets, jazz and soul.
		Fagen's new solo album, Kamakiriad (produced by his Steely Dan partner, Walter Becker), is very much in the spirit of its predecessors but is even drier in tone and more enigmatic.
		It all sounds as though it were coming from a pop-music laboratory inside a climate-controlled glass bubble.

		Mark Roberts (Digest, 5/14/98): Kamakiriad is set in the near future.
		My thoughts are that Donald did the nasty with Miss Snakehips at a Motel 6 along the trail, then snuck out in the middle of the night while she was still asleep and ditched her before going home to see Dad.
		I think the Kamakiriad was a two seater, and unless Miss Snakehips was going to sit on Daddy's lap, and it could be embarrasing should Daddy get a boner or something.

		But since Fagen practically wrote everything else for the album on his own, "Kamakiriad" was ultimately released as a Donald Fagen solo album (and the official return of Steely Dan would have to wait until 2000's "Two Against Nature").
		Not only that, but "Kamakiriad" is a cool concept album, telling the story of an Everyman living sometime in the future, who takes off for a spin in his technological wonder car of the 21st century, the Kamakiri, and has several adventures along the way.
		Aside from that particular moment, "Kamakiriad" is a relatively sedate affair.

		Stilistisch ist "Kamakiriad", wie einst "The Nightfly", schwer einzuordnen.
		Kamakiriad ist erfreulicherweise auch noch einen Tick dynamischer als Donald Fagens erste Soloplatte.
		Deshalb ziehe ich bei Kamakiriad auch einen Stern ab, um die VerhÃ¤ltnismÃ¤Ãigkeit zu wahren, obwohl Kamakiriad fÃ¼r sich genommen wohl auch die fÃ¼nf Sterne verdient hÃ¤tte.

		The faithful will be glad to know that Becker and Fagen are already writing songs together for a new album, and plans are under way for a Steely Dan tour this summer.
		Meanwhile, Kamakiriad continues the Steely Dan legacy while deftly sidestepping the quicksand of nostalgia.
		Kamakiriad is described by Fagen as an allegorical journey set in the near future where "the narrator, instead of having a winged horse, has an environmentally correct car called a Kamakiri, which in Japanese means preying mantis." Typically, there are other, unspoken, allusions.

	KAMAKIRIAD
		I’m prone to lump this next to Gaucho rather than The Nightfly, since the final Dan album likewise left me underwhelmed at first (whereas I liked The Nightfly right out of the gate).
		Kamakiriad seemed too dry; even “I Got The News” and “Peg” looked luscious next to the sere arrangements of “Trans-Island Skyway” and “Springtime.” I listened to it a few times in succession, but only the familiar “Tomorrow’s Girls” caught my ear, and I ended up playing that over and over.
		So I waited a while before reintroducing myself to Kamakiriad and VOILA the groove hit me. It’s still a little too tight for my tastes, minus the wonderful guitar solos and keyboard passages you’d find on vintage Dan, but I can see myself warming up to this in time.

		This one is my first disc of the trilogy - and has made me want to go out and buy both "The Nightfly" as well as "Morph The Cat" at the next opportunity.

		However, this album was recorded to analog tape, as evidenced in the Behind the Scenes video, which may have caused the album’s lack of high frequency brightness.
		This may have been purposely done by Fagen as he probably intended the album to have a strong bass foundation as the main focus, which is common with funk rock.

		The Kamakiriad tune was “Snowbound,” and I wished for more.
		The Kamakiriad tune was also “Snowbound” and “IGY” was left out instead for a fourth from the new album.
		I also wished for more from Kamakiriad and have read he has performed “Here at the Western World” at other shows.
