Any modern band that comes close to Mahavishnu Orchestra ?

I saw the original M.O. twice and the second version once.  Then I saw the One Truth Band.  All different personnel, different sound, different vision.  The original M.O. was a one-off, unique group.  The closest thing I can think of in terms of sound and energy is Cream, who were a few years earlier.  I can't imagine anyone coming close to the original Mahavishnu Orchestra.  That's the way it is with the great ones.

Inner Mounting Flame and Visions Of The Emerald Beyond are masterpieces.
Never liked One Truth Band, that music has no meaning to me. I think, John's last great album was Que Alegria, just listen to the Reincarnation composition.

The Mahavishnu Orchestra one of the biggest mistake in my life.

I saw the Mahavishnu Orchestra in 1972 or 73.  Great concert!  My very favorite album is probably Visions of the Emerald Beyond which is best enjoyed with the volume turned up very loud.

I'd say that Inner Mounting Flame is very earthly and Visions has a cosmic feel to it, especially some tracks.
I wish they'd recorded Mahavishnu better. I listen to the original Japanese records, best sound you can get.
