Donald Fagen - Nightfly Trilogy (3 MVI 4 cds) collector

This is an absolutely stunning box set, covering all of Donald Fagen's solo material after Steely Dan.

Including tracks such as True Companion, and Century's end, that were done by him for soundtracks, as well as some takes on classic jazz tunes such as Blue Lou, and Hank's pad; as well as other songs like Viva Rock and Roll, and Big Noise New York.


All excellent songs, done by an amazing performer. Every song from his original three albums, including the bonus CD are well worth it, let alone the DVD audio quality for a solid surround sound system.

Also a nice bonus, the music videos for Tomorrow's Girls and Snowbound. Both in Steely Dan and on his own, Donald Fagen's quest for technical perfection in the music's output, as well as by itself, are just some of the reasons he is one of the best musicians and lyricists of his time. Any fan of Steely Dan or Donald Fagen should consider this a must.

This is an absolutely outstanding package. Just the 3 surround 5.1 DVDs are worth the price, the extras included in the MVI package and the extra songs on the CD are just icing on the cake! As the title says - this is an MVI DVD set. It is not DVD-A.

• Donald Fagen’s complete Nightfly trilogy – The Nightfly, Kamakiriad and Morph The Cat – on 3 MVI discs and 3 bonus CDs
• 3 bonus audio tracks on The Nightfly MVI. 4 bonus tracks on the Kamakiriad MVI. 3 bonus tracks on the Morph The Cat MVI
• A fourth bonus CD that compiles all 10 extra tracks on one disc
• DTS 5.1 Surround, Dolby 5.1 Surround, and Advanced Resolution PCM Stereo mixes of all three albums


Listening to the 5.1 versions of the songs is like experiencing the albums in a brand new way. Fagen's obsession with sonic detail has really paid off big time in the surround mixes.
