Its songs frame memories and imagined scenes around the optimism, technology, jazz, and popular culture of Fagen’s youth, including “I.G.Y.,” “New Frontier,” and the title track. The album was an early major-label recording made using digital recording technology and continued Fagen’s meticulous studio approach outside Steely Dan.\u003cspan class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCollector Note\u003cbr\u003eThis early Warner Bros. target-design CD was manufactured by JVC in Japan for the US and international market, with catalog number 9 23696-2.
