| Aja Japan SHM Delivers !
I recently purchased the SHM Japan version of Steely Dans' AJA. This is one of my desert album picks. What a revelation ! The sound quality is superb . I really noticed a difference in the bass. It is deep and well defined and very natural sounding. The track AJA is heavenly. Highly recommended. DJ Berexa Pgh

| Aja - a mysterious clasic
Aja was the first Dan album I listened to. My CD collection is very eclectic, and initially I got it just for the collection really. I had heard a few of their songs such as "Riki Don't Lose That Number". Little did I know the masterpiece I was about to add to my collection. Aja is obviously superb. Technically it is, in my view, one of the best contemporary albums ever. The strange thing is, I am usually a bit alienated by technically polished works such as this. I tend to find them hard to relate to on an emotional level. Aja is certainly emotionally distant at times, but then that's a reflection of it's subject matter. Songs like "Deacon Blues" and "Black Cow" paint a landscape of alternate sadness, joy, and loneliness that have not been equalled anywhere. Haunting and mysterious, Aja is a beautiful work. If you don't have this album you need to get it. I am now a definite Dan fan!

| NEVER STOPPED PLAYING THIS MASTERPIECE
I've gone through 3 albums, 2 casettes, and now on my 2nd cd of AJA, I have listened to this gem at least once a week for the last 20 years there are only 2 work of music ( in my opinion )that can be classified as pure perfection, one is SONGS IN THE KEY OF LIFE by Stevie Wonder, the other is AJA To coin an old saying "THEY JUST DON'T MAKE MUSIC LIKE THIS ANYMORE"

| Discernable sonic improvement evident on a good system
Is the extra cost worth it? Well, if you want the very best version available it is. The actual remastering is the one done for the last round of upgrades- so no news there. The composite used for the disc however, does make a difference. Played back to back with the last edition, there is definetly more of the roon acoustic evident, more space between instruments, and very realistic decay. The SMH-CD material does indeed remove another layer of grime from the sonic picture. Others in the series are also worth a listen, in particular "Can't buy a thrill"- which emerges as a seriously gorgeous, 'organic' sounding treat, remarkably for its age. I urge you to try both these titles.
