Pat has really created a masterpiece with this album. It is not just for Jazz lovers but covers the easy Listening category very well.
Pat Metheny has been a hit with me since the early 80's Each release has for me made its mark to some extent.Always a companion on my travels to "of the beaten track" exotic locations for my work, the music still conjures a remarkable ability to rekindle in my mind some great experiences.I remember once a girlfriend commenting to me about Metheny's music saying "this is foyer music" - A month later I was in a foyer of some far away hotel listening to that exact Metheny album, but it worked. (BTW Its much smarter than foyer music)Secret Story is without doubt one of the strongest most evocative albums produced, each track is extraordinary in the way it weaves a picture via a musical composition. The re-mastering on this CD is exceptional.A great introduction to this artist. If you enjoy film sound tracks I believe you will get a big buzz from this albumLOVE IT.
CD by Pat Metheney I liked every composition on the first listen. The pieces evoke so much emotion in me. The added vocals and orchestration make this CD unique among my Metheney collection.It's a must listen if you are a fan of his music. Lane Hall
If you're interested in "Secret Story", stick to the less expensive original as the extra songs on the reissue are on a separate cd. They're are "ok" but not spectacular and barely worthy of being on this classic cd.
From the children's choir of "Above the Treetops" to the sea shanty-like accordion sounds of "Antonia", this is an album that's perfect for almost any occasion. Secrets Story is probably my favorite Pat Metheny album.
After hearing the 5 extra songs, I have to say, I'm disappointed. It definitely tells a story throughout.
When I heard it was being reissued with bonus songs from the session, I was delighted and anxious to get my own copy. As I listened, I was hoping at least the final song would make the purchase worth my while but that wasn't stunning either.
If you already have the original, then be assured you have the best version.
This deluxe version is way better than the original CD. I have always loved this CD since I bought the cassette version nearly 15 years ago. I got the CD used two years later. I loved the four bonus tracks. I have already transferred the tracks to my computer, and now they'll be on my Ipod all the time.
