Review

Rolling Stone (8/5/93, p.65) - 3 Stars - Good - "...Fagen's new songs are sleek, witty confections, delivered in his familiar sweet-and-sour bray and enveloped in immaculate pop-jazz arrangements that have a pointillistic precision..."
Spin (8/93, p.22) - "...delivers at least two beauts in `Snowbound' and `Tomorrow's Girls.' Crazy nice..."
Entertainment Weekly (5/28/93, p.62) - "...picks up almost where both men left off when Steely Dan unofficially disbanded around 1981....recalls a time when musicians and producers would spend months or years in the studio in search of the perfect pop record..." - Rating: B-
Q (1/94, p.85) - Included in Q's list of `The 50 Best Albums Of 1993' - "...those thrilling, wide chords and hipster lyrics are timeless tricks..."
Q (7/93, p.86) - 4 Stars - Excellent - "...Exquisite rather than lush, the music is not only sensually brilliant but exactly catches the subtle paradoxes of Fagen's dreamworld....Fagen's laconic voice of muted anxiety casts a soft blue light on this gleaming musical roadster..."
Melody Maker (5/29/93, p.35) - "...miraculous...."
Musician (7/93, p.85) - "...a supremely seductive, elegant work....Fagen is an illusionist, a cineastic composer with all the adorable idiosyncrasies and flourishes of Ellington, or Woody Allen, and he possesses both those artists' gift for making such qualities inseparable..."
NME (Magazine) (5/29/93, p.31) - 7 - Very Good - "...Donald Fagen is still in touch with aspects of his greatness...."

Title Note

Personnel: Donald Fagen (vocals, keyboards); George Wadenius (guitar); Lou Marini (alto saxophone, flute); Cornelius Bumpus, Illinois Elohainu (tenor saxophone); Lawrence Feldman, Dave Tofani (tenor saxophone, flute); Ronnie Cuber, Roger Rosenberg (baritone saxophone); Alan Rubin (trumpet, flugelhorn); Jim Pugh, Birch Johnson (trombone); Paul Griffin (Hammond B-3 organ); Walter Becker (bass, guitar); Leroy Clouden (drums, percussion); Christopher Parker, Dennis McDermott (drums); Bashiri Johnson (percussion).

Recorded at River Sound, Clinton Recording and The Hit Factory, New York, New York; Hyperbolic Sound, Hawaii.

KAMAKIRIAD was nominated for a 1994 Grammy Award for Album Of The Year.

On Donald Fagen's second solo album, he evokes the ghost of Steely Dan as never before. This is slick-sounding stuff--until you really listen closely. Many of the best American composers, like Fagen (and Steely Dan partner Walter Becker, on board as producer and guitarist), were/are secretly subversive--Gershwin, Ellington, Cole Porter, Thelonious Monk, Charles Ives. For those who simply can't get enough of what the Dan does best, KAMAKIRIAD is what the (mad) doctor ordered.
