Still Life (Talking) by Pat Metheny Group

Still Life (Talking), the Pat Metheny Group's fifth studio album, came out on Geffen in 1987 with Metheny producing, and it's the sound of a jazz fusion band that had stopped worrying about which side of the record store it belonged in. Metheny's guitar and Lyle Mays' keyboards glide over rhythms that ripple and sway, with Steve Rodby on bass, Paul Wertico on drums and Pedro Aznar's voice floating through the arrangements like another instrument.

"Last Train Home" is the one people know, a gentle, chugging piece that keeps rolling toward the horizon, and it found a second life in 2015 as the ending theme for the "Battle in Egypt" half of the anime JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Crusaders. The record brought the group a Grammy for Best Jazz Fusion Performance, and the RIAA handed it a gold certification on July 2, 1992.
