- Billboard Jazz Albums - #2 (1984)
By the release of First Circle, expectations for the Pat Metheny Group surely ran high, but with the appearance of new drummer Paul Wertico (replacing Danny Gottlieb) and Argentine percussionist Pedro Aznar (who took the place of Nana Vasconcelos, and whose vocals elevated the group to new levels) the results coalesced into something timeless. Metheny's musical touchstones are all here - South America, spirited rock, and de-tuned sonic parody.
