Ceddo, who released a self titled debut in 1979 in the vein of Dzyan's Time Machine album. Later recordings of their's don't do it for me, but the debut is FANTASTIC.

I'm quite sure that for pretty much everything I know there's somebody else here who also knows it; and I actually know that the following bands are known by some people (I checked it out seeing them live). However, they're great and I think nobody but me has mentioned them here... they're certainly not listed. (The issue may not be that nobody knows them but that they're not considered prog... which doesn't bother me that much.) |

I'm extremely surprised about the lack of ratings for Moon Tooth, I mean, yeah, didn't expect there to be a lot, but when I went to review their debut, I was extremely surprised to see that nobody had even rated it at all. Another band that nobody has touched here is Clever Girl, they're a jazzy math rock band that only ever released 1 EP, but I think that it's a great one.

this short-lived German band is extremely obscure; their only self-titled album was recorded 1972 but was first released 1997. the line-up is: Harald Schindler - bass, Ernest Cadet - drums, Charly Fottner - guitar, Otto Nunold - organ, Wolfgang Benki - vocals. the band is not in the archives

My own band from the 1980s, "Casual Crobar," would qualify. We were primarily a satire band of Spinal Tap (who were themselves a satire band), so we were a Mobius strip of bad. Some might doubt our prog cred, but we managed to squeeze "Babies On Fire" onstage....I did a very poor Bob Fripp imitation, but my Eno voice was reasonable. Fortunately for humanity, none of our material was released. I alone have it. *Bwaa haaa haaa!* |

I take the "no-one" as "hardly anyone". "No-one" is only possible if it is your own band that has not made any albums yet and has not played any gigs yet either.

Logically impossible. The band itself has heard whatever they have produced even if no one else has. That alone means SOMEONE has heard it

I am absolutely certain there are many oldies that hardly anyone knows. Like that album by Action, for example.

Even if the musicians and producers are deaf? What about my Deaf Leotard, Songs From the Deaf, story? Sorry to quote myself from this thread, but that's where I was coming from. "...Deaf Leotard was an English 80s Hairy Prog band made up of four hirsute amateur musicians whose days jobs were Aerobics instructors. What's remarkable is that all four were completely deaf, and one sure played a mean guitar. Their sole album [Songs from the Deaf] was recorded, mixed, mastered and engineered by deaf people (though they never finished engineering or recording it due to an unexpected tragedy). Tragically, a fire broke out in the recording studio, and all four died as they were not alerted to the fire alarm while possibly re-recording some portions that they thought didn't look and feel right, but that's a guess. The deaf production team also died in the fire. While the studio was badly damaged, remarkably the recordings were largely undamaged. I had happened to be in the near vicinity of the studio on that fateful day testing some homemade fireworks when I saw the inexplicable fire that broke out near me. I courageously dashed in and was able to save the recordings for posterity. Sadly, I was not able to save the people as they were inexplicably locked in for some strange reason right after I heroically retrieved the recordings from certain obliteration (I will never forget the surprised and horrified looks on their faces as I left, but I also sensed gratitude for saving their magnum opus -- I like to think they would have thanked me had they survived). I had been meaning to release the recordings out of respect to the dead, but due to a subsequent investigation of the fire, I decided to lay low despite my total innocence when it came to starting the fire and locking them in. I'm sure I would have been held blameless, cause I was totally innocent, and maybe I would have been held up as a kind of a hero for saving the music and protecting their legacy, but investigations can be tedious, and I had other commitments. I mailed the recordings to my house in Canada, and flew back to Canada later that day. To this day I have never shared the music with anyone, but it's pretty great all things considered. At least their legacy lives on through me." Edited by Logan - June 11 2019 at 10:19 |

If it was a great band and music then someone here knows of them so imho such an unknown creature doesn't exist.....other than some talented band that never really got going perhaps..
The only two really obscure ones that were new to me until about 10-15 years ago were Yezda Urfa and Khazad Doom...and the Doom lp is more psych rock than prog. Funny enough both bands are from my immediate area of Northwest, IN and south Chicago area yet I had never heard of them nor saw them play in the old days.....but then I spent most of my time in the past from 69-75 at college at Indiana University , Bloomington, IN.

^ Hopefully the police believe that too, else I might be taken in for questioning. ;) I am convinced that this is at least not true. Before sharing my story, I wrote: "I could think of many that would be little known, but none that I believe no one has heard, nor that I would be confident to say no one else, even here, has heard. Well, maybe that's not quite true, there is Songs from the Deaf by Deaf Leotard." I should have said, "This is not true, but there is this story of Songs from the Deaf by Deaf Leotard." I feel slightly burned... Just in case anyone in unclear: It's an illustration of mine written for this topic which was never intended to be taken seriously (rather like a faux review that I wrote about In the Court of the Crimson King for another topic recently). My humour does sometimes fall on deaf ears, rather like with what happened to Deaf Leotard themselves, not that arson is funny in the least, especially when one is the victim of it. |

Good point but then that wouldn't be a band then would it? That would be an electronic experiment :)
