Another collectors CD for Pat.........2002-08-10

I was looking through Amazon.com and found this CD,another
Pat cd!!!! Wow!!! I had read it was compared Pat's solo album.
This is good , that Pat plays all the instruments,the bad thing is it has a re-occuring line that is heard all the way through this CD,which kinda gets old. I commend Pat for playing all the instruments,but just does not have that "Metheny magic" as displayed in other CDs................

Beautiful.......2002-02-01

A terrific mellow side of Pat Metheny. If you liked the soundtrack for Map of the World, you will love this CD.

Bland -- neither poor nor wonderful.......2001-06-07

Pat Metheny has been unfortunate in his choice of movies to write soundtracks for. None has been a blockbuster -- well, not here in the UK, anyway. I'm not even sure whether 'Passagio' or 'Map of the World' have been released here.

But, the excellent 'Falcon and the Snowman' apart, Pat hasn't helped his bid for a really juicy movie contract. No-one can pretend that Pat is a great piano or drums player, and yet he plays both here. Indeed electronic keyboards dominate this album, as they do on so many of today's soundtracks. Why is it that when most movies cost over $20 million to make, the producer tries to get his soundtrack on the cheap, by bypassing the use of an orchestra?

Pat needs either Lyle Mays or Charlie Haden to bring out the best of his extraordinary compositional talents, and sadly neither are employed here.

I'm sure if I had been able to see the film, I would appreciate this CD much more. But I'm not altogether surprised that this CD is available only on import. For Geffen to decide not to release the album in this country, given Metheny's huge fan base, the label must have had a very low opinion of the soundtrack.

Musica per il cinema o viceversa?.......2000-10-24

Accadra' anche con "a map of the world": davvero sembra riaprirsi la disputa settecentesca, la musica al servizio delle parole (dell'immagine, diremmo oggi) o viceversa? La musica di questo disco è bella già per conto suo, ma quando vedete il film capite che davvero questa musica ha creato un mondo, interiore od esterno è difficile dirlo, così tanto intrecciate sono le sensazioni. Mi sembra che Metheny faccia bene a lavorare per il cinema, mi sembra che torni in tal modo alle sue intuizioni originali, anche se in chiave stilistica differente. Il senso di abbandono delle musiche di questo disco mi ricorda quel bisogno di guardarsi attorno e riprendere contatto con le cose che prendeva molti dopo aver ascoltato "First circle" o "Offramp". Cose sottili, appena percettibili ma profonde in ognuno di noi, che la superiore bellezza, la maestria di "Secret story" o "Beyond the Missoury sky" non ti permettevano di cogliere, e che gli ultimi lavori in trio sembrano proprio aver accantonato.

Gentle into the Night (Passagio per il Paradiso).......2000-02-03

This is a great soundtrack by a fabulous musician. I highly recommend watching the film. It's english title is "Gentle into the Night". You can't help but appreciate the genius and expertise that went into composing for this movie. The pieces reflect the various themes and characterizations in the film. The "main title" and it's various treatments are a joy to listen to.
