    Fun fact: this is a show from a particular dry bransch of public-access television in sweden called ”the education radio” (yes, I know. It’s not radio anymore). A friend of my produced this show and told me that one day his boss told him to do a show about learning to play drums, probably expecting a dry ”this a how you play a 4/4 beat”. Instead the producer called Morgan Ågren and the rest is swedish television history. They invited friends from meshuggah and Mats Öberg for jams. Other episode started with Morgan showing something ”simple”, then he showed it up to speed and it was insane. Then it ended with Morgan doing a signature one hand drum roll.
    And this album is amazing. It still blows my mind when I listen to it, even though I listened to nothing else for 6 months when it came out.

      The show Knesset was on ZTV at the same time. They had some well known drummers on the panel once and talked about "Trum" as an educational program and they were just laughing out loud on set, because none of them could keep up with any of the things Morgan showed. Wish I could see that episode again. I return to trum on youtube every once in a while and it makes me feel good. Probably the best ever produced by UR.

    You should check out Mats/morgan Band which is Morgan Ågren and his Friend Mats Öberg who is a jazz pianist (he is much more than that, he sings and is just incredible). They started when they were really young, and got to play with Frank Zappa, who called them "unbelievable", which was super nice :)
    Fun fact: Both Mats and Morgan are from the same town as the guys from Meshuggah (Umeå Västerbotten). Must be something in the water there, they got the syncopated polyrythm juice going!

    Sol Niger Within By Fredrik T is by far my favourite piece of music - a concept album that was released in 1997 and it was waaay ahead of its time. Thordendal is a pure genius and he asked his genius drummer friend to join this incredible project and oh boy, oh boy... You just have to listen to the entire thing if you have 40 minutes and you want to listen to some extreme avant-garde metal-jazz fusion! ;)

    Morgan played a show with Zappa in his teens, when Zappa toured Sweden once.
    Definitely check out his project Mats Morgan where he plays with a blind keyboarder.
    Also, if you ever feel like doing Meshuggah again, check out either New Millennium Cyanide Christ or Dancers To A Discordant System ❤️

    For anyone that cares (which I suspect is no one but me, but this in the Internet, so you'll all suffer my sharing of thought), I recall coming across the video in question in college (well over a decade ago), and it was for some musical seminar sorta thing, and they were showing how guitar and drum would work in tandem with one another. I don't remember what specifically they were trying to show (I think in how drum and rhythm could swap places), but I remember being blown away. That hasn't changed in all that time.

      Кст барабанщик говорил, что сыграть эту песню целиком - безумие, потому что записывалась она по большей части на импровизации, в ней еле уловимый патрн, а не раслушав так и практически невозможно поймать ритм.
      Но челик запилил видос с полным кавером этой песни. Все 21 минуту вместе с соло и эмбиентными партиями. Выглядит это БЕЗУМНО КРУТО.
