A significant improvement.
I'm writing this review specifically for the remastered versions of Still Life Talking, Letter From Home, and Secret Story. Chances are you probably already own these and are wondering about the new versions. If these are some of your favorite albums, as they are mine, then you can't go wrong. Of the 3, SLT and LFH show the biggest improvements. They both have a much wider soundstage and improved depth with a much cleaner high end as well as powerful bass and clarity. I have listened side by side with the originals and the difference is VERY noticeable. If you have a good system these are fine recordings. (No Ipods please.)

However unless you are die hard Metheny fan, Secret Story is not that great an improvement. This was already a great recording, especially for 15 years ago, and side by side with the original it's hard to tell. In some areas slightly. Enough to warrant the cost of a new CD, well maybe. The extra bonus CD material is mediocre at best and even though I'm a huge fan I probably could have lived without it. It's just OK. Nothing stellar here.

Bottom line: SLT and LFH? Yes, definitely an improvement. Get them. SS....well, maybe if you're a huge fan. (Or if you've never heard this album in the first place. Some of the best music ever made. Period.)

Rapturous
Simply breathtaking.

This CD was my introduction to Pat Metheny Group, and I have been hooked ever since. If you don't own this, do yourself a favor....buy it and join our club.

I listen to Slip Away at least once a week for going on 11 years now.

Gorgeous, Ethereal Mood Music For The Soul
I've been a Pat Metheny fan for many, many years, having been hooked originally by the TV video (yes, Pat did VH-1 way back when!) for "Are You Going With Me?" back in the '80s. This led to my purchase of "Offramp," and I've never looked back.

"Letter From Home" is breezy, cool and delightful. It's powerful - powerful enough to shift your entire mood in less than 30 minutes. Begin with "Slip Away," an absolutely beautiful composition which cannot be outplayed. Drift through the rest of the album and, depending on where you are and what time of the year it is, sit outside and look at either the stars or a rolling field of grass. And relax. And enjoy. It's simply that good.

My Favorite
This is without a doubt my favorite PMG offering. Take a listen, "Slip Away" ... and be transported over and over to musical pleasures above and beyond. This is an uplifting, moving gift from PMG and not unexpected.
