Throbbing gristle - should they be listened too as one of their members was a child sex tourist (paedophile)
Really good band but up there with gary glitter and Michael Jackson . |

"Lemon Jelly produce some great chill out type tracks "
I'm not sure Lemon Jelly count as obscure music. Despite no one having heard of them, almost everyone knows several of their tracks. They get used a lot in film and TV. |

"Please share
What do you consider obscure?
Think that's the main question. "
What i mean is, does the music have to be obscure/strange or is it normal genres with unknown bands etc |

Welcome to my collection 
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 |

"Lisa Gerrard
She sings in a made up language. That’s pretty “out there”.
Oh I like her, she joined Simple Minds on their Street Fighting Years tour."
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. |

Either Sunset Mission or Black Earth by Bohren Und Der Club Of Gore.
The Disintegration Loops by William Basinski.
Literally anything by The Caretaker, but if you really want to trip out listen to his six-hour audible representation of the stages of dementia called Everywhere At The End Of Time.

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. |

the allegations weren't true. However, Cosey did accuse him of abuse when they were in a relationship |

"From back in the day
Alberto y lost trios paranoias.......a punk band from Manchester formed about 73"
A total parody ..but the snuff rock ep from 1977 is an absolute classic despite it being a piss take..and no punk compilation should be without the song..kill.. |

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 |

Poème Symphonique for 100 Metronomes by Gyorgy Ligeti!
I can see why it is obscure  "
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. |
