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"

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.

"The Pat Metheny Group" album is thirty years old and I still stop whenever I hear Lyle May's piano part in San Lorenzo.. Also listen a lot to "Secret Story"..

Offramp is my favorite. Bought it in 1984 and have listened to it steadily ever since. I haven't really liked a lot of his other stuff. I bought several more of his albums and offshoot group efforts hoping to get a duplicate of Offramp. No luck at least for me. The other stuff was very well recorded but I just didn't care for the songs. But Offramp is in my top 20 or 30 albums of all time.
