Offramp is another Pat Metheny-Lyle Mays collaboration, with special guest Nana Vasconcelos on percussion, voice and berimbau. Metheny shuns his traditional guitar tone on the bulk of the material, preferring to solo with guitar synthesizer and the Synclavier guitar. Offramp's highlights include the atmospheric "Au Lait" and one of Metheny's best loved compositions, "Eighteen", which does features the 'trademarked' Metheny chorused guitar in the solo section. Throughout Offramp, Metheny enjoys a telepathic rapport with keyboardist Mays, who avoids exploiting his technique and opts for meaningful storytelling. Instrumental Guitar (Electric/Jazz), total running time, 42:01 - Pat Metheny Group @ iTunes!
