Moments Worth Listening For
The introduction of the 15-string harpguitar on 'Icefire' creating a harp-like cascade of notes.
The rhythmic interplay between Lyle Mays' piano and Metheny's guitar on 'River Quay' that hints at their future group sound.
The ten-minute slow burn of 'Sea Song' where the bass provides a deep, oceanic pulse beneath shimmering guitar swells.
