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. |

Professional Reviews
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..."

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 (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..."

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..."
