July 31st, the entire Pat Metheny ECM catalog was reissued in Hi-Res. Everything from Bright Size Life to First Circle. Just sampling a few selected tracks at the moment. My digital setup isn't quite optimal right now (it sounds a tiny bit vague due to using a crappy USB cable, since my Bridge in the DAC is offline) but otherwise they seem to sound pretty good. No compression or limiting, and the tonal balance is nice. I've read that the goal for this series of remasters was to preserve the sound of the original tapes as much as possible (and those original tapes were in excellent condition).
