from the less known players of the 80's/90's indie and industrial scene, such as Sheep on Drugs or Slow Bongo Floyd or randomness from the land of ambient- such as Starfish Pools 'Chill out n Confused' or some Pete Namlook maybe? very few people have heard of half the stuff i listen to

I don't consider myself knowledgeable about music but even i own 2 of their albums. Reminds me of being outside somewhere warm overseas with a cocktail. At least that's when I listened to them the most.

Oh what a rabbit hole to delve down to.

Artist - song

Sleepytime Gorilla Museum - "A Hymn to the Morning Star"

It's essentially a lullaby to the Morning Star. Beautiful choral voices, unsettling video..and then it takes juxtaposition to another level once the discordance comes in. An incredibly innovative band, that made many of their own instruments I believe. Avant-garde.

Others...

Otyken - STORM

ODDKO - Kitty Girl

3TEETH - Merchant of the Void

Nitzer Ebb - Join In The Chant

Korine - Elegance & You

Rabbit Junk - The Grind

Calva Louise - Feast Is Over

Apashe - Uebok VIP

Did she also meet up with Peter Gabriel too, seeing how Biko was part of that album?

Lisa is also at her finest in the band Dead Can Dance: Here she shares vocals with Brendan Perry. Aion is really worth checking out. Medieval musical produced for a modern audience.

Aha, thanks.

I saw Gong at the Trades Club in Hebden a couple of years back and they were ace. They've been my favourite band since I was a kid the 80s. I reckon seeing them with the Ozrics would be brilliant.

The word obscure is subjective. My era 60's/70's/80's had many so called obscure bands if they weren't on topt (top of the pops if you're young). If you didn't see togwt (the old grey whistle test) the tube or no limits, then many bands would be obscure. Speak to people my age and some have never heard of Frank Zappa, the grateful dead (although their touch of grey vid was on topt), the James Gang (with Joe Walsh of the eagles) the allman brothers, to name a few. Alas with my age, nearly every record I hear now is obscure as I don't listen to radio 1.

"Nightwish - especially the Tarja era. I dunno if that's obscure though!"

Probably not quite obscure enough, but I love the Taia era too. Her vocals were absolutely amazing.

Stockport

Obscure Records #3 "Discrete Music" by Brian Eno.

Obscure Records #10 "The Pavilion of Dreams" by Harold Budd.

Several others in the Obscure sequence are quite good as well, though there are a couple that are so Obscure that I've never yet been able to get my hands on them.

Feel like ITT, obscure is taken to mean more than just unknown, not popular[ly celebrated] - a particular kind of obscure, ie 70s80s avantgarde

Which, ironically,.. kinda stops being obscure, if ye can point out the common aspects

I'm seeing Big Brave tonight. Expansive, dynamic, incredibly heavy and yet plenty of delicate space too. A guitar band that don't use their guitars like guitars

"Hi Ren

Amazing song "

I’m so into Ren right now. Hi Ren is a masterpiece obviously but some of his other work is brilliant too.

Jenny, screech and violet is a better song and the video is a masterpiece

Excellent! A very close friend is a world expert on his music and in some circles it’s not regarded as obscure. But here - it certainly is!

Did you like the Pendulum Music too? Quite brilliant in concept! As is so much of the experimental work of composers like Steve Reich. Investigate the music of Moondog, LaMonte Young and others. Cage is of course relatively mainstream as is Philip Glass and Stockhausen. But although they’re famous, performances of their music isn’t that common. So their lesser known music can still be categorised as pretty obscure!

I think pretty obscure, in music terms, usually means shite, lol. 100 metronomes is cross between the racket of a busy 50's typing pool and a badly tuned diesel engine. Each to their own, my bro is into it. Might be a hit in the bbc radiophonic workshop all the same.
