Nocturnal Breed – Fields of Rot (2007)
--“Holy fucking shit, this maniacal piece of work has destroyed my house, defecated on my car, and torn me a new asshole! Nocturnal Breed play a very fast style of thrash metal with vocals that fall into the more "black" side of things - except Kenneth Svartalv is far better than most black metal vocalists; more on that later - and this is their fourth full length album, and it completely smokes.” The best album by the best blackened thrash band.

Paternoster – Paternoster (1972)
--“Paternoster is a one-shot band from Austria that brought a gloomy type of psychedelic kraut-organ rock that was far ahead of its time. At least so when it comes to the mood and plaintive vocal style. In a way it announces the Weltschmerz of Joy Division, or early Christian Death or other Gothic acts that managed to avoid over-excessive pathos. It's pretty much disconnected from anything from its own era, only the eerie vocals of Ozzy come close.” Amazing album, a prog take on goth from ten years before goth was invented.

Zero Kama – The Secret Eye of L.A.Y.L.A.H. (1984)
--“All instruments to be heard on this album were exclusively made from human bones and skulls by the hand of Zero Kama. They never have been used since the time of its recording, which took place at the Secret Temple of Laylah from 5th to 28th of May 1984 . Remixed at Psychonaut Studio Vienna in November 1987, and dedicated to the symbol of Laylah, meaning night and death, as well as to its numerical equivalent, Oz, a goat or unrestrained sexual force of creation, thus showing the identity of the basic two opposite forces in this generous universe of beauty and strength, in which the Lovers my find ecstasy in Pan. Who wishes to enter this world of darkness, in which the Great Goat dwelleth, may pass through the sigil of Oz given at the front of this Cover.” Dark ambient.

Jo Squillo Eletrix – Girl Senza Paura (1981)
--“Girl senza paura (“ragazza without fear”): basically a collection of three-chords tracks in the early Ramones fashion, with synth lines and sax intermissions here and there which remind of Métal Urbain, X-Ray Spex, or Bow Wow Wow, celebrating Jo’s shrill, almost unbearable screaming. The music paired with the elementary, repetitive lyrics about (or should i say against) school, family, males, etc. Everything was put in the simplest possible way. The result was naive and rough, yet exciting.” Punky new wave thrills.

The Stalin – Trash (1981)
--“The Stalin began in 1980 and blew away all previous attempts at Japanese punk rock with their radical, evolving style. The band was founded by Michiro Endo, a 32 year-old socialist activist, Vietnam veteran, and street singer who had spent time in the West. He chose the name because "the name Stalin is very hated by most people in Japan, so it is very good for our image.”” The most notorious masterpiece of Japanese hardcore. Superb stuff.

What binds the work of those artists with Cacciapaglia's intent for this album is a desire to funnel avant-garde influences into a robust future-pop sound.” One of the best new wave albums. This video is pretty remarkable, too.

--“ Blaring Stax horn sections, wild psychedelic fuzz box guitar, jazzy organ runs, strutting funkadelic drum and bass, and an occasional glockenspiel or sitar for freakout effect. Manfred Hubler and Siegfred Schwab toss this melange of styles into a Cusinart blender and hit the "puree" button.” A spectacular German soundtrack.

Don Bradshaw Leather – Distance Between Us (1972)
--“It's no wonder that this was brought to my attention by David Late Tibet of Current 93. David sent me a copy and described it as a strange DIY horror symphony beyond words, and it indeed is dificult to describe. There's hardly a thing about this double LP on the web besides want lists and offers for sale (it seems to be averaging around $200 for original vinyl), though rumor has it that Don was a wealthy hippie (some say a member of Barclay-James Harvest, which David refutes) who was squatting around London in the early 1970's, whereabouts unknown now. The four lengthy tracks here ("Distance Between Us" Parts 1 & 2, "Dance of the Goblins", and "Autumn Mist") are dense, swirling, and hellish tapestries of blurred instrumentation, squawking voices buried in the mix, and seemingly no layout of progression from point A to point B in various movements (i.e. it's all a giant progression, but almost like a dog chasing its tail in a mad frenzy). Tracks have the leanings of some epic Messaien pieces in some ways, though imagine Bradshaw-Leather taking his symphony and filtering it through some kind of lo-fi source like a boombox or something and then just went bananas in the post-mix.” Among the strangest and best items on the NWW list.

Ebo Taylor – Conflict (1980)
--Ghananian afrofunk masterpiece, absolute fire from top to bottom. “The record also features Taylor’s take on Afrobeat, ‘Heaven’ being one of the classics of the genre, locked into a tight propulsive rhythm inspired by the work of Nigerian Fela Kuti, whom Taylor studied music alongside in London earlier in the early 1960s. Both were clearly influenced by a wide range of sounds; not just traditional music from their homeland, but also popular styles from America and rhythms from South America - soul, jazz and funk all play a key role in the mix.”

Ritual – Widow (1983)
--“ Ritual's "Widow" is a difficult album to explain at first because there's no band that sounds quite like this, not in 1983 or since. The quick/easy/lazy way to describe them is to associate them with Pagan Altar or perhaps to a lesser extent, Witchfinder General, because "Widow" is very much a NWOBHM/doom album. Along with that are the subjects of witchcraft and other clandestine events, but this could be where the similarities between PA and WG stop. The first thing that needs to be mentioned is how incredibly fucking somber the record feels; it's rare that you'll find a record this cold and unsettling.”

Hasil Adkins – What the Hell Was I Thinking
--“He was born and lived in Boone County, West Virginia and was a self taught one man band. The reason for this was because when he first heard Hank Williams on the radio he didn't know there was a band behind Hank. He thought that Hank Williams played all the instruments. He claimed a repertoire of over 9000 songs including over 7000 original compositions. Recurring themes in Adkins' work include love, heartbreak, hunchin', police, death, decapitation, commodity meat, aliens, and chicken. His life was so unusual that you couldn't begin to start writing about it here.” Classic outsider country-blues. Adkins was run over and killed by a teenager on a tractor in 2005.

Sincere, profound and yet deeply playful, Brother John's mesmeric baritone waxed poetic about the big questions - Love, Sex, Death, War and Drugs (and God's place in all this) - over a backbeat of fuzz guitars, sitars, avant choirs and go-go drums. From 1966 onwards Brother John broadcast his widely syndicated radio show 'Silhouette' across the U.S.A (and Vietnam), speaking directly to the Hippies, Heads and Jesus-Freaks in an engaging flower-power-patter.” Incredibly strange classic. Imagine Ken Nordine, but Christian and more of a beatnik. Hilarious.

Strangely, my posts now seem to be able to bump the thread.

Vassar Clements – Hillbilly Jazz (1975)
--“It is not at all clear how you can eat barbecue and drink beer on a hot evening if this isn't on the play list. 'Course the problem is that you might have to wipe off your hands and do a bit of dancin' with your best girl.” Not an obscure album by any means, but the sort of thing probably not on the radar of many here.

This is really nice. Do you have more disco? This is a genre that I've prematurely dismissed but I'm really liking some of this stuff.

I've posted a few disco albums in this thread. Singles tend to be better than albums, though. I'd recommend looking at the People's Potential Unlimited catalogue, and especially Evans Pyramid.

The Legendary Villain – Memoirs of a Villain (1996)
--Absolutely massive New Jersey random rap. Perfect song.

Bobby Konders – House Rhythms (1990)
--“ In 1990, Mr. Konders, all-round reggae and house producer released a landmark in the realm of house music. "House Rhythms" is not just a stop-over in time, but a timeless masterpiece.”

Cortex – Troupeau Bleu (1975)
--“ Its samples have shown up on releases by everyone from DJ Cam and MF Doom to Fat Joe and Rick Ross. Once you drop the needle on the record it's easy to see way. Smooth and funky straight out of the gate, Cortex waste no time in setting the mood. Deep grooves give way to mellow female vocals; upright bass leads the way for lyrical piano improvisations.” I hate jazz-funk but I fuck with this.

i'm liking this random rap shit, you have any full albums? any other obscure hip hop?

>>51583063
Goddamn, off my game here.

Ensemble Pittoresque – For This Is Past (1983)
--“ Ensemble Pittoresque, some twenty five years ago in The Netherlands, created an LP that is as varied in styles as it is inspiring.” Somewhat offbeat minimal wave.

The obscure Afrobeat stuff is really nice. I had only really listened to Fela Kuti before this.

Dred Scott – Breakin Combs (1994)
--“ Breakin’ Combs is definitely a mid-90’s rap record at its core with endless horns, a heavy Jazz influence, introspection, and plenty of boom-bap. However, Dred puts a unique spin on things, infusing the record with a great sense of humor and a keen awareness of identity and history. He’s adept at flipping topics and musical influences and the album’s beats, courtesy of Dred himself, which will keep your head nodding.” Jazzy, superior rap.

Yo Afrodude, do you have anything that sounds like Tal National or Mdou Moctar? I like a lot of the modern SahelSounds stuff that isn't autotuned too.

I wish I did. You might dig through Awesome Tapes From Africa's archive.

Black Dynasty – Deep East Oakland (1995)
--Dope gangsta rap album. The title track was a regional hit, but unfortunately one of the two group members was killed by a convenience store owner in a failed robbery attempt, so they never really blasted off.
