Gerry Rafferty isn't really obscure but no one seems to know about this album. Top tier 70's singer songwriter record that in my opinion rivals a lot of the beatles solo records from that time period.

You never see any of his albums but the original NOTIR (and occasionally Sludge Dredd) mentioned here. For me, the first expansion pack is my favorite. Makes me think of all those weird obscure free trial screensavers and shareware MS-DOS games I downloaded off of AOL Kids when I was 8-12 years old for some reason.

Gorguts + Incantation + Portal/Mitochondrion = Antediluvian on this album.

Most people know this band for Through The Cervix Of Hawaah, which was more typical Incantation ripoff occult stuff, but I like this better as it's much more interesting and crazy.

Nuno Canavarro - Plux Quba

a beautiful tape music & electroacoustic album, one of the best experimental albums imo (and I'm not much of a fan of experimental music)

And Also the Trees - (Listen For) The Rag and Bone Man

A band with a post-punk history make a left turn into art rock and folk. Some pretty great haunting stuff.

This is my favorite And Also the Trees album. Their last album, Hunter Not the Hunted was also really good I thought. I actually secretly like their newer super gloomy goth folk stuff more than their earlier post-punk stuff. Although Virus Meadow is still pretty neat.

The most "obscure" stuff I like is Brian Eno's lesser known ambient colabs, but the fact eno is involved kinda makes it instantly less obscure.
Throbbing Gristle? Completely unknown to the public but pretty entry level industrial I guess.

I'm clutching at straws, I love Code:selfish by the fall, its one of their lesser known albums
