Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: For Completists only...... Comment: 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 not spectacular and barely worthy of being on this classic cd. 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're interested in "Secret Story", stick to the less expensive original as the extra songs on the reissue are on a separate cd. If you already have the original, then be assured you have the best version. Customer Rating: Summary: Secret Story better this time! Comment: I have always loved this CD since I bought the cassette version nearly 15 years ago. I got the CD used two years later. 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. Customer Rating: Summary: Sorry but it almost put me to sleep Comment: Explores 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. Customer Rating: Summary: Metheny at his best ! Comment: For me, it the best cd from this artist. The newly masterized version (2007) includes a second cd which includes 5 pieces lasting (only) 16 minutes and 38 seconds total ; these were not edited before ; as they are of medium musical quality, you may not consider buying the cd a second time, but if you are sensitive to sound quality, I could say the sound is a little better than the first edition of the cd but the difference won't appear very great for most of us. Customer Rating: Summary: brilliant Comment: Although I own two sam albums, I bought again just because of the bonus CD and I didn't regret. It's simply his best album. Not only CD1 but also bonus CD 2. More Reviews
Editorial Reviews: 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.
