In particular, the album's first tune, 'Minuano (Six Eight)', represents a good example of the Pat Metheny group compositional style from this period: the track starts with a haunting minor section from Mays, lifts off in a typical Methenian jubilant major melody, leading to a Maysian metric and harmonically-modulated interlude, creating suspense which is finally resolved in the Methenian major theme. Still Life (Talking) in 1987, was the Group's first release on new label, Geffen Records, and featured several tracks which have long been popular with the group's followers, and which are still in their setlist. Additional South American musicians appear as guests, notably Brazilian percussion player Armando Marçal. The next three Pat Metheny Group releases would be based around a further intensification of the Brazilian rhythms first heard in the early '80s.
