        Great record, at times by the numbers but the production has always knocked me out with how aquatic it is. I can just see the sun pocking through the rain over the ocean on Sea Song.

          From '77, here is Pat's follow-up to Bright Size Life. This is the first appearance of Lyle Mays and Danny Gottlieb who will become central figures in PMG.

          Pat continues with his moody, somber ethereal pieces, emblematic of the ECM label at this time. "Icefire", "Oasis", and "Legend of the Fountain" could easily be RalphTowner pieces. However, woven in are some brighter elegant works such as "Lakes" and "Watercolors". His use of triadic harmony here and on the previous album are quite a departure from the traditional bop, bluesy, and funk output of his contemporaries. Think Burton and Abercrombie.

          A little bit of adventure and risk taking here, but not quite to the degree of the BSL trio. Weber was an excellent choice to follow up Jaco on this record, and has a lovely solo on "Sea Song".

          The recording is super clean and has a warm analog feel. This pressing is wonderful.

          In the massive Metheny catalog, this one is nowhere near the top, but still a stunning peek into an important transitional moment for Pat. 3.5 stars.

            Great as usual...never changes with Metheny...consistent as the dollar bill. Very mellow, very good recording. ...
