Pat Metheny Fans, Great Suggestions Please ??

Hello,

I have Secret Story, We Live Here and Imaginary Day.

I know his styles vary from album to album, but I'm looking for some stuff that sounds great cranked-up or low-level, beautiful, involving and long-term (asking a lot)

The 30-60 second samples give a fraction of say, what a 14 minute song has, so it's kinda difficult to get a handle on the changing improvs.

I did like what I "managed" to hear from Pat Metheny Group with Mays, Egan and Gottlieb "San Lorenzo"

Xiekitchen,
You are correct that I have not heard an ecm LP as I do not own a single LP. My comments are all based on CD's and that's all I have in my music collection.

I had "Offramp" on vinyl until I sold all my LPs in the early 90s. Big mistake. The "Offramp" LP was one of the best I ever heard.

I now own "Offramp" on CD (a re-master, I think). It actually sounds very good, but it lacks the magic of the LP.

Found a mint vinyl copy of "80/81" in a local record store today. I had originally purchased this LP when it was released, and I sold it with my collection about 15 years ago.

Wow, what a great set of music from these guys!

Outstanding sound as well.

Happy to have re-acquired it.

I see the ECMs are being released in Japan on SHM CD sometime in September. Could be interesting.
