If only zeuhl bands wasn't obscure enough, i'm on quest to get into the deepest, enigmatic obscure bands of this style, so, give me your recommendations! :D

Super Freego is a great combo indeed.

I really like Zravkapt's three picks. I don't see many people recommend PSEU but they are great as are the other two.
I'm not sure how obscure these are but RIALZU, AMYGDALA and DIAMONJI are all excellent. I have that SUPER FREEGO album that Damo mentioned but haven't spun it yet.

All of the previous suggestions of course and I'll add a few more, I'm not sure how obscure they are if you've already explored the genre but here goes...
Altais Honeyelk Paga Group Patrick Gauthier Rhun Serge Bringolf Simon Steensland Univeria Zekt Yog Sothoth Rahmann (Zehul fusion with an arabic flavour)

^ I must say I found Univeria Zekt quite disappointing (and not that high in Zeuhl content). Having said that I've only listened to it once.

I thought Univeria Zekt were supposed to be some kind of Magma-lite...a nice intro into the world of Zeuhl.

^ I think that was the idea. But I'm not sure how well it works for that purpose!
Hmmm, now that I come to listen to it again, it's not that awful. But more jazz fusion than Zeuhl, to me. And the vocals are really quite terrible

Well yes, it's not Magma and that was exactly the point of the band, although it's not hard core zehul the zehul influences are definitely there. How good is it? every listener and his tastes of course, not in my top league but I love it.

I was gonna add, not core Zeuhl, but certainly Zeuhl-related: Athanor and their album Vos cités sont des tombeaux. A really good modern album, and as dark and disturbing as you'll find outside of Shub-Niggurath.

Potemkine are cool

All I like is prog related bands beginning late 60's/early 70's. Their music from 1968 - 83 has the composition and sound which will never be beaten. Perfect blend of jazz, classical, folk and rock.
