Craig Taborn last march 2002, told a friend of mine (who's a concert producer) that he just loved meshuggah music. I'm a Jazz listener (Free, New Free, avant-garde, Coltrane, Miles, Ornette, etc...) and I'm also a fan of meshuggah. They are powerful and technically very advanced. As well as "Destroy, erase improve" I do also like their last studio album, called "Chaosphere" except last track which is a 15' boring stuff, but, for instance, listen to "sane": adrenalitic.

Hey all, I am a guitarist, who normally plays jazz (straight ahead - to really modern zorn type stuff) I have been playing bass in a metal band for about a year, its kind of a joke thing we made up with three jazz musicians playing metal. So most of the stuff that we have been doing (slayer, pantera etc) has been pretty easy...but recently we have started to get into Meshuggah. And I am completly blown away by the complexity of their music....i know their name has been mentioned a couple times. I know this might seem a stupid question...but how does this group related to zorn and modern jazz related music?
