i think this is a great album. pat and john show here their abilities whith their instruments in all their glory. it�s an album purely focused on the guitar. i have to admit that it�s a little bit too long, but it doesn�t make it less surprising. the sound, the efects that the guitars use make me feel some kind of glimmer, mesmer, spell... i don�t know how to say it, but this album has a very special and unique sound... it�s not perfect, but it�s great, you won�t be dissapointed. i recomend to anyone interested in modern jazz/fusion to listen to this album. (i love specially track n�2, "read one", it�s beautifull and powerfull at the same time)

I suppose this album was inevitable. John Scofield does have a similar sound to Pat Metheny's, although I think that had more to do with record company pressure than their individual styles. Metheny was just too much of a jazz market monster for the suits to not want to copy him. Nonetheless, I like ususally Scofield's soloing style better than Metheny's.

While the songs, in keeping with Metheny's usual style, are all relatively low key, the album mostly alternates between the passive and the slightly more energetic songs. Needless to say, I like the faster and louder pieces, but I just wish that they actually were fast and loud.

The two guitarists play well together, sometimes in unison, and mostly trading solos, and Metheny, thankfully, restrains himself from much use of that lame sounding guitar synth horn patch he is known for.

3 stars, because at least it's pleasant background music.
