Since there is no dedicated music subforum (is there?) I thought I would post this here since many of us are fond of our Steely Dan and Fagen surround discs. I have not seen anything about a surround release of this, although the website says that they are considering other formats. But the sound quality of the CD should be the usual that we have come to expect from these guys (Scheiner is an engineer). Becker's last CD (1994's 11 Tracks of Whack) sounds fantastic.

Scheiner is an engineer.

But don't ever tell him that -- he believes that he designs car stereo systems that bear his initials. :)

That would be awesome! A CD, then a deluxe CD+DVD-Audio release would be excellent. That seems to be a smart and elegant way to release on this poor, poor format.
Otherwise, why don't they do something forward-looking like FLAC downloads? Even hi-res FLAC.

I am sure it will sound good "technically" but he has to be one of the worst vocalists in (smooth) rock history. I find his noodling guitar work a little uninspired as well and will most likely skip this one. I am also fearing that they will "showcase" some of his work during the Steely Dan tour this summer, ugghh...

Couldn't you buy a hi-res (SACD, whatever) version for less than the price of a blank blu-ray disc?
