The ten polls that follow this will be more well known but lots of excellent obscure albums to pick from here.
The four that standout for me are Xing Sa, F.Thollot, The Spacious Mind and Out Of Focus.

Not yet but we'll see lots of them coming up.  Love the electric piano in that Xing Sa album. Heck i love everything about that one. Gave it 5 stars. Three members are from SETNA and Jon i just remembered you did the bio for them here. Nice !Clap

On this site there are only four Ozric albums rated higher but they are all pretty close, so yes this is a fan fav for sure.

Good, good...looking forward to giving them a couple votes most likely.  I still want to hear this Yugen, by the way...every time I've checked on it it's been out of stock or I ended up deciding not to get it for some reason.

The debut from our avant-garde friends from Italy is a classic. 14 musicians took part in this album from YUGEN and it's not for the faint of heart.

The new live one Mirrors is fantastic, great versions of great music.

Labirinto D'acqua is the rare 6 star album for me. Absolute perfection from second 1.

I went with Thollot. Man i do love this recording. Thollot offers up Fripp-like angular guitar while Jeand'heur the ONE SHOT drummer and fellow ONE SHOT member Bussonnet kills on drums and bass repectively. And yes Bussonnet plays for MAGMA too. Jeand'heur adds some piano as well. One of my all-time fav Zeuhl records right here.

I've been meaning to get that one  I noticed on the Wayside site that they mention that YUGEN cover HENRY COW's Industy on this. How cool is that ! Recorded live at the Rio Fest in France in 2011. You were probably at that one Eugene ?

XING SA: one of my five stars

I stand with Roger Waters, I stand with Joan Baez, I stand with Victor Jara, I stand with Woody Guthrie. Music is revolution

I'm going with Out Of Focus. That S/T album is actually their second and in my opinion their best. Listed under JRF definitely doesn't cover their style, they have a little bit of everything reminds me of Thirsty Moon.

I like their first better but both are very similar in style before they turned more into the Jazz flavour with that double album. A definite Krautrock flavour which i love and the lyrics can be off the wall but if anything they are entertaining.
