Description

On his latest album, Road To The Sun, Pat Metheny surprises us once again with his seemingly endless ability to harvest new vistas while retaining the instantly recognizable Metheny sound. The album was a huge success and was No. 1 on the US Billboard Classic Charts, as well as the UK Classic Charts, and also reached the Top 10 on the German Media Control Charts.With two major new works, performed by five of the worlds leading guitarists, Metheny charts a new way of obliterating boundaries between genres while simultaneously unveiling new facets of an already expansive personal language.Grammywinner Jason Vieaux, described by NPR as perhaps the most precise and soulful classical guitarist of his generation was tapped by Metheny to perform his fourmovement solo guitar suite Four Paths Of Light.The centerpiece of this landmark recording is Road To The Sun, a sixmovement piece for fellow Grammyaward winning Los Angeles Guitar Quartet Metheny describes them as one of the best bands in the world.In the end, Road To The Sun is nothing if not another truly great Pat Metheny record. It will rank alongside Secret Story, Bright Size Life, 8081,One Quiet Night, Still Life talking, Song X, and all the rest as being yet another unexpected and almost willfully inscrutable plot twist, inevitable to a genre with only one common element Metheny himself.FeaturesLimited Edition Box Set with Lenticular ArtworkScores for Road To The Sun amp Four Paths Of LightOriginal gatefold LPs of Road To The Sun 1LP amp Four Paths Of Light 1LPSingle Disc CDPrint of the album art signed by Pat Metheny2 BooksLiftoff lid box with Lenticular Artwork Pat Metheny Boxset is available for home delivery from Vinyl Records London, only £105.99 +P&P
