Listening to Pat Metheny "Bright Size Life" I realize for the first time how sparsely 'populated' it is. Having never looked closely at the sleeve (I listened to it mostly - but not exclusively - in the car for some reason) I see now that it's a trio! Of course having Jaco Pastorius on bass helps give the illusion of many more people, but even so...
So why does this matter? Well, that I noticed I think suggests that the MkIIs are reveling much more detail than the DM6s. When you're listening for differences it's not hard to imagine ones that sometimes aren't really there. But this time I wasn't; I just put on the disk for something to listen to and the instrument separation leapt off the page. They may not be perfect but they're good enough to keep.
