Rare Trax
Rare Trax is a compilation album of rare songs by Swedish metal band Meshuggah. It was released on 21 August 2001 by Nuclear Blast. It compiles the three songs from the band's first 1989 release, Meshuggah, along with other rare songs that the band had recorded but never released.
The CD-ROM also contains the music video for the song "New Millennium Cyanide Christ" from Chaosphere, which features the band on a tour bus, air-playing all the instruments (with Jens Kidman yelling into a pen) and headbanging in unison.
"War" was the first Meshuggah song to feature programmed drums. The remix for the song "Concatenation" is a slower version of the song with a different drum beat. The person on the cover and inlay photographs is tour manager Per Wikström.

Here we are to stay
We all can see the purblind day
Assail the cause
Defray the ogre, the insubordinates
Restrained to live
Bring me home
Confronting mutants
We are all bound to fall
Mortality
we see today, defrauds our dreams
Approachable to die
Sliced by their lies, secured morbidity
Restrained to live
Bring me home
Confronting mutants
We are bound to fall
How many of the judges place a bet on me?
What's there to be?
MORIBUND IRREVERENCE
What's there for us in this deranged society?
Inanity
CADAVEROUS MASTICATION
SATURDAY
They have saturday
SATURDAY
Now it's saturday
SATURDAY
They have saturday
SATURDAY
Now it's saturday
YOU ARE INSANE
How can you let there be such cruelty
YOU ARE INSANE
Now it's time for you to see
Here we are to stay
We all can see the purblind day
Assail the cause
Defray the ogre, the insubordinates
Restrained to live
Bring me home
Confronting mutants
We are bound to fall
We are bound to fall
