![]() "Forward March," the album opener, is a bizarre parody full of detuned instruments and half-cocked trumpet from Mays one wonders if this was directed at a few silly skirmishes of the day (Grenada? the Falklands?). The ever-restless Metheny also mixes up the music, not quite leaving the Brazilian glide behind but coming up with some fascinating permutations always affixed with his personal stamp. In First Circle, the Pat Metheny Group settled into a lineup that lasted for quite a while - with Metheny, keyboardist Lyle Mays, bassist Steve Rodby, and new drummer Paul Wertico forming the core quartet.
