Though I've been listening to a shit ton of Offramp ("Barcarole," "Are You Going With Me?" and the title track which is a colossal guitar synth freak out) and Rejoicing with Charlie Haden and Billy Higgins which has a great mix of atmospheric, extremely melodic straight ahead jazz and several awesome guitar synth tracks...

"The Calling" = awesome

Likewise "Waiting For An Answer"--all harmonic-y bowed bass and guitar swells--and "Story From a Stranger"...

Witchita Falls is the only great album from Metheney.

Another that should be added to this list is Question & Answer with Dave Holland and Roy Haynes. Great straight-up jazz with some of Pat's most burning guitar.

I have been unable to get off the fence about this guy pretty much since I first heard him 20-ish years ago, but he has the best guitar faces

My love and respect for Metheny has really grown in recent years. He keeps cranking out music, but never shies away from experimentation and innovation.
