Post the most obscure album you listen to. Not the best hidden gem, not the weirdest album you've ever found, just the one that statistically, the fewest people have ever heard. Made a mixtape when you were 10? Perfect. Friend has a band that never released anything online, but sold you a CD? Fantastic. Doesn't have to be good, just genuinely unknown.
Pic related is everything from the last thread.

>acapella, industrial, plunderphonics
>An album I made out of boredom when I was like, 12? I recorded myself saying "eht" and pitch-shifted it. Super obscure, only people who have heard it are me, my brother, and a handful of people on a nardwuar thread last April.

Thanks also what the fuck
Nicholas Sanders
I like this
Michael Foster
probably the most obscure album i listen to regularly is a local one, it's described as "hippie metal" and it's definitely pretty out there, constantly shifting/noisy hardcore even though it's pretty hard for me to categorise desu.

Where did you first found it/listened to it?

I forget how I found out about it but I downloaded it from their bandcamp, someone might've mentioned it here but I doubt that's where I found it. I recall it being somewhat accidental.

There was a mixtape of christian rock songs (iirc there was one song that wasn't christian: natasha beddingfield - unwritten) that my 3rd grade teacher gave to everyone in class and I listened to it pretty often all the way up until 10th grade when I stopped being christian. I still own it but I haven't listened to it for about six years
I'd provide a pic but I'm not home atm
Ian Reed
>natasha beddingfield - unwritten
Oh fuck I forgot about that song. That song was like inescapable back then lol

My best friend's brother made the beats to his friend's rap album.
It's nothing special and I'm probably biased but it's not bad.

A long time ago I found a little drive that had someone's personal documents (school and stuff) and a wierd electronic music album that probably nobody's heard of before, lemme go find it
Ian Baker
Any info on this?
Sebastian Baker
It's actually pretty solid. 8/10.
Asher Smith
Welp I don't know where I put this, shame it had a cool atmosphere, all I can remember is it had a generic name like "electronic sounds volume 1" and it was made by a guy that worked on a few ramones albums as an engineer.
Camden Bennett

You can find some of his CDs online and a couple tracks uploaded on Youtube, but most of his CDs were limited to 50 copies or less.
It's pretty obscure so it's possible to still obtain some of them on japanese auctions sites or indie CD shops, but good luck ever getting his full discography, physical or digital.
Kevin Jenkins
Surprisingly I know of two of those albums and physically own one of them
I found this about a week ago. The album feels like a point and click PC game trying to be a CD. It's all basically meant to be a demonstration for this type of audio technology made by this guy, and it comes with a B-Movie plot that pops up around the middle of the album. Some of the sounds are impressive, but others sound really stock and cheesy, despite the booklet claiming it's "So close to real life that the mind is convinced it is actually experiencing what is heard"
It came with a booklet explaining the whole album's concept and purpose, which is pretty interesting. I'll paste it out and give a link to the album. I'm pretty sure it's on Amazon for about 7 bucks, but I can't find a lick of information for this thing anywhere else online. I found my copy in a dollar bin
Justin Bennett
"Dear Listener,
The concept of DRC has been in my head for many years now. It has taken me that long to develop my editing skills, ideas, and most of all, find a way to make it happen. DRC is short for Dimensional Reality Cinema, which says a lot about itself. I have many plans for DRC, including producing other short stories, and different styles of music, such as rock. I have the script to a movie called "The Red Eye" in which DRC will be used in making the existing theater formats many times over the acoustical and imagining ability that they now have. In "The Red Eye", I will use the DRC concept to enhance the 3D presence of the special FX and most exciting of all, the music. I will compose the score, record and edit it in 3D DRC sound, then release the sound track in DRC format. I want it to be clear that I did not invent the technology to do this. I have just come up with the idea of utilizing existing programs to make this happen. This process takes a very long time due to the many technical and acoustical problems which occur while editing.
The first half of the CD includes a mind altering introduction explaining what you are hearing and the idea of DRC. By "mind altering" I mean that when the listener puts on headphones and listens with closed eyes, the reality of the audio is so close to real life that the mind is convinced it is actually experiencing what is heard. Your mind's eye is proven to paint a more vivid picture in your mind than if you were actually watching a movie in surround sound. The second part of the CD places you in the middle of a B-Movie horror scene. You will feel like you are actually there with the two characters and you will have the same emotions as they do. You will be petrified.
Caleb Diaz
The Story is about a young, high school couple going up to the mountains and your headphones are in place. It is truly the coolest thing anyone has ever heard. As the couple starts to get romantic, they hear an unsettling noise. As they attempt to investigate what they think may be a raccoon, they discover an indescribable creature, which appears to be very angry. The creature's wrath is unleashed on the couple and the story is followed by the classic ending any film would have, the big orchestral score. Follow the story, there are a few more 3D sound ideas.
DRC (Dimensional Reality Cinema) will continue to produce audio experiences, all different from the last, and continually getting closer to life.
Hope you enjoy listening,
Ryan Eldred"
This album is weird
Chase Perry
Thanks, guess I'll keep an eye out for his stuff!
Damn, thanks man
That's bizarre
Out of curiosity, which ones do you own?

Technically a compilation, but Boots never released a proper album and it only has 25 ratings on RYM

This is an excellent album my sister showed me.
Brandon Perez
Underworld - Beaucoup Fish
The other one I knew of was Superette - Tiger. I didn't buy it, it sounded like something I wouldn't have a good time sampling. The drums would've made it really hard to loop something at a steady BPM
Bentley White
Huh cool
I've got the Bradford Reed one
I'd kill for a copy of Love Boat though, and if Eme Eme got a physical release I'd buy it in a heartbeat

Pretty edgy song titles, but the album is actually pretty good
Jonathan Butler
I've got other weird stuff. I own about 2,000 CDs, I just don't like sharing the more obscure ones too often, lest someone find my super secret sampling sources
I've shared this album in the past though. Peter John Stoltzman - Cycles. It's a three disc jazz album that I bought based on the album cover, thinking it'd be prog or something. The first disc is two piece songs (mostly just a piano and one other accompanying instrument), the second is three piece songs, and the third disc is full ensemble songs (with vocals too). This album's always confused me and I've found it kinda endearing with its sound. It's like Soundtracks For The Blind or The White Album in the form of adult contemporary, easy listening jazz
Oh, and his professional YouTube page apparently also has videos of (what I presume to be) his son playing Minecraft. I don't know why. One of my friends has also managed to get in contact with this guy. I hope I can too someday. There's not much information about this album online, but he does have it for sale on his website for 20 bucks. I found it for a dollar though... Take that as you will. I still consider this one of the most bizarre things I've ever picked up

I've listened to hundreds of Viper albums unironically, I including loads of completely diffident numbered ones that were unvelievably low effort and a few I had to download in various ways because they're not in the Spotify selection. Statistically, at least a few of those must have had very, very few listeners.

another sparklehorse fan my man (unles you're a fennesz fan in which case forget this)
What's your favorite album by him? My favorite has always been vivadixie but it's nice to ocasionally find the people who know about him to discuss with
Isaac Anderson
Unit: 3 With Venus - Beer
Not quite sure what genre this is. The band is made up of a little girl named Venus and her parents plus one other guy who used to be in the band Stingers. Technically it's an EP since there are only 3 songs on it, but I guess that makes it all the more obscure? It's pretty good.
Bentley Adams
Forgot to include samples. Here are 2/3 of the EP's songs plus some extra stuff they have floating around:

Ryan Gomez
Mixtape made by obscure Baltimore scam artist, Santo Gold, director of the lost schizo "wrassling" film Blood Circus. Created bizarre commercials to promote his fake gold business and wrestling film, arrested for fraud and sleazebaggery in the late 80s.
Released almost purely to safeguard his name against a female RnB artist with the same name, this CD is a mix of Turrets laden rapping and a few actually kinda good folk songs. Also predicted President Trump 8 years early.

Jackson Ramirez
Mushroom with Eddie Gale-Joint Happening
It's a joint effort between Eddie Glae (probably best known for his work with Sun Ra) and a artist collective from San Francisco. Together they create this really far out Jazz sound that I adore.
Also if anyone can find the album Mushroom did with Faust I'll realy apreaciate it.
Elijah Wilson
That's neat. The thing I found is nothing like Sun Ra though... It's almost completely adult contemporary jazz. There's not really anything wild and crazy about it. It's relatively grounded.
Thanks for the rec. I'll look it up
Owen Sanchez

this person has posted this in a few threads, I've been listening pretty often since:
Michael Bell
I've listened to this guy in a few BC threads too. Very interesting stuff. Though I kind of believe you're just shilling, since the filename is literally the same from the BC threads.
Blake Sanchez
Probably Doctor Jazz. An old, closing down hospitals staff used to, apparently, have a fundraising Jazz band comprised of some of their doctors
Owen Hall
I have an obsessive thing about naming my files, although I've seen it posted a few times. Does repeated posting in soundcloud and bandcamp threads considered shilling?
