Meshuggah are one of the masters of technical metal. These guys are still pushing metal to its outermost limits with the most technical guitar playing & drumming that you'll most likely ever hear along with the always emotional gutteral screams.

 

The album cover and name play off the fact that man finds peace of mind through obscenity (ObZen).

Brandford Marsalis: Eternal (redbook)

 

[ATTACH=CONFIG]2336[/ATTACH]

 

Another title in common. Some of the best phrasing on tenor and soprano I have heard (I know how good the others are, but...)

and along with his father Ellis, masterfully on piano, Loved Ones XLD conversion redbook CD to AIFF. Another beautiful duet and as father and son.

Enjoying the music,

Richard

Thanks for flagging this one, don't have it yet. Looks very tempting, will check it out.

 

And just noticed I misspelled poor Branford.

If Anton Bruckner had written a Piano Concerto, here's what it would sound like:

As much as I love Zimerman, this is not his greatest performance ever (granted, the 80's Karajan style didn't help, it get's close to his notorious Tchaikovsky 1 with Kissin), but I still listen to it every once in a while as it is really so different.
