Wow they sell it used here at $35. That is ten times what I've paid.
The roots of concidence (original) is absolutely amazing. I like to put it loud, real loud just to bombard myself with those sounds. A simple repetitive synthesizer that keeps the mood in the song. The trashy guitar becoming talking clean prowess. Then you think the song is finish but you don't really want. Pat did not want that too so he goes over. The remix is damn good too, we need more of those song in clubs.

Across the sky (original) is a delicate beauty. Romantic piano, quiet drum and absolutely georgous guitar. On the other side, the remix flies at the sound of speed on percussion.

Love it!

I bought this CD after I had already purchased Pat Metheny Group's great "Imaginary Day" CD.
I did not know what to expect. I enjoy, and am always open to anything by Metheny.
Sometimes I need to warm up to his work, but I have learnt that with each listen I enjoy it more.

There are 4 songs on the CD.
2 are the original Metheny mixes of Across the Sky and Roots of Coincidence from "Imaginary Day"
2 are totally off the wall remixed version of those two songs, buy other (I suppose avant garde) mixing studios (not Metheny).

The original Metheny version are great, but they are on the Imaginary Day CD (a complete fabulous set of songs)
I personally can't listen to the remixes. I've tried. I suppose they would appeal to someone, but I would find it unlikely that someone would be a Pat Metheny Group fan.

So, I can't listen to it. I can't bring myself to toss it.
So now it's just taking up room in my collection in case it becomes (rare and valuable).
I hate that!
