No one really knows, all those albums and samplers where recorded by more or less the same guys.
 
I think saying that they are lost recodings form the 70s gets you more buyers...
Wow thanks for the info, i really didn't know the story behind Pyramid Label, sounds very mysterious tho, but thanks again because now i have more obscure albums to go after Big smile.
Zeuhl, Krautrock and Avant-Garde genres have really really obscure gems, anyway, i will look for this thread to maintain informed about these bands.

I never post anything anywhere without doing more than basic research, often in depth.

A band I always liked.....found the vinyl in a bargain bin in the early 90's. Never heard of them when they came out in 1974.

Both albums from Crow (UK), a heavy tribal psych/space-rock band that was active during the 90s and released 2 cassette albums. I feel like I've been the only person championing them for over 20 years, and I've recently been involved with remastering their albums.

Good stuff here keep em coming.

I feel like Dando Shafts first album is worth mentioning along with Wild Turkeys Battle Hymn and Toe Fats debut.

My favorite obscure albums are by Sweet Smoke - a hippie jam band that recorded 2 studio and 1 live album.

Then it was a good thing I found my sampler copy in a discount bin for 7 dollars.

Purge Solenoid is an obscure band whose eclectic stuff I've really enjoyed.

Most of these are known by those of us here at PA....but I like his presentation of the bands and I'd love to see his record collection in person.....




Another interesting collection of bands...

Oh yeah, Titus Goran, man! Totally forgot! I was suprised to read they were American. And  prices on those Indian Summer records have skyrocketed recently!

Also, there is a great obscure folk outfit called Forest. It gets a lot of hate, especially here, on PA, but I think their music is very good. A thing I agree with (and the main argument people have against the band) is that they are not excellent musicians. However, with their music, you can feel a lot of spirit come through with great feeling for the music.
Again, not great, but very good and calmind music!





Just today, I have found out about about this German electronic/ambient band called Sand. They look to have released only one album, but I've only listened to it once, so I can't really tell if it's good or not. People on PA seem to hate it, though. I do believe, though, that they have an interesting sound nonetheless.
