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 recommend 'Speaking of Now' for a contemporary PMG recording. Great combination of composition, playing and sound.

'Letter From Home' has always been one of my favorites from 1989. Amusing that it says "a digital recording" on the front cover. I think the sonics are very good.

*Nice to see this thread rollin along*

I will check out these SHM CDs, I bought Secret Story on a Nonesuch 2CD fold-out liner type case and thought it sounded pretty darn good, but if the SHMs are better yet, oh well.

Thanks for the suggestions from all.

Just an update. I've received the Offramp SHM CD(Made in Japan) and found no difference in sound quality compared to the ECM CD. Either my source is not capable of revealing the finer nuance and detail or I am not listening hard enough. Either way, I doubt there would be significant difference between the two format as the improvement in sound quality is barely noticeable.

Has anyone heard "Upojenie"? Pat Metheny with a Polish musician made in 2002 but only recently released in the US. Curious about this one.

"Map of the World" is another Metheny title I've never heard. Any comments? Thanks!
