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"

I owned Offramp, New Chatauqua (sp?), and Witchita Falls on both CD and vinyl. In all cases, the vinyl was superior, and by a pretty good margin. Much better dynamics.

All the ECM vinyl releases I have owned have been of exceptionally good quality.

Tvad - I agree with your assessment of ECM vinyl. That label is a credit to the recording industry. You don't have to spend mega-bucks for 180g vinyl or a hot stamper to hear good sound.

I have listed some near mint ECM vinyl for sale (because I've sold my analog set-up).

Secret Story and We Live Here are both Geffen releases. All of the ECM CDs have pretty good sound. Since none have been remastered except on the Rarum Selected Works disc, I suspect the Vinyl is better.

Nobody mentioned "The Falcon and the Snowman" in this thread. Just tried this one and the music is superb!
