Binding: Audio CDEAN: 0075597998108 Label: Wea/Atlantic/Nonesuch Manufacturer: Wea/Atlantic/Nonesuch MPN: 192572 Number Of Discs: 2 Publisher: Wea/Atlantic/Nonesuch Release Date: September 25, 2007 Studio: Wea/Atlantic/Nonesuch Editorial Review: Album Description: The New York Times called Pat Metheny's 1992 Grammy Award-winning Secret Story the most sweepingly ambitious album that the jazz guitarist has yet recorded...a nearly 80-minute world-music suite with symphonic underpinnings. If the album functioned then, in the words of critic Stephen Holden, as part travelogue and part soundtrack for a nonexistent film, then this expanded and re-mastered edition can best be described as the director's cut. Composer and guitarist Metheny revisited and restored five previously unreleased tracks in the studio over the last year, and he's collected them on a bonus disc. More pastoral in tone than most of the original material on Secret Story and with a decidedly cinematic, orchestral feel these tracks are like the deleted scenes from a deeply evocative yet wordless narrative feature. Back in '92, Metheny declared that Secret Story was unlike anything I've ever done. It's the largest in scope - 80 people were involved in the record - but it's also the most intimate record I've done. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Secret Story ReviewCD 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 Rating:  - not my favorite metheny , but still very good w qualificationsas i sit here listening to this recording on a saturday morning (on headphones) i'm taken back to memories of pat's tour for this project . this is an opinion of the disc without the additional material . i saw the concert(s) in both orlando and tampa . pat was truly blessed to have both GIL GOLDSTIEN and JIM BEARD on pianos , keybords and various other instruments . if memory serves , group stalwart STEVE RODBY was on electric and acoustic basses . THIS WAS THE WAY TO SEE AND HEAR this tremendously ... Read More Rating: - For Completists only......Secrets Story is probably my favorite Pat Metheny album. 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. 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. After hearing the 5 extra songs, I have to say, I'm disappointed. They're are "ok" but ...

This deluxe version is way better than the original CD. 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. Rating:  - Sorry but it almost put me to sleepExplores the entire range of human emotions someone said? It was so light weight and watered down and bland, the only emotion I had was one of drowisness. I'd personally choose New Chautauqua or A Map of the world, even We Live Here over this. |
