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 find much of Pat's music has this 'positivity' factor, uplifting and positive, one of my favorites is As falls Withata.

Saw Pat with Ron Carter last spring (cape may jazz festival) where he played this 42-string Pikkasso guitar which was amazing  - anybody know if he's done any albums featuring that contraption? By the way seems there's a bunch of youtube clips featuring Pat playing this.

I have and love Imaginary Day and Letters from Home... but I think Still Life (talking) is his best. Get it! You'll love it!
