Obscure is a relative term...many odd ones are well known by us on this forum but my friends have never heard of them.
3 I really like... -Moonkyte- Count Me Out -Tonton Macoute-st -Samurai-st (also some were mentioned above like Spring, Cressida, Still Life, and Raw Material, Marsupilami...don't add these in since they are extras...) |

I'm not sure if I have a top 3 but Centipede's Septober Energy is probably the most overlooked item from this year that I could name.

Another one I was thinking of, it's got over 400 ratings on here so I skipped it. To normal general population very obscure, to us here, founding pillar of a genre

Jan Dukes de Grey is one I have that was already mentioned. The only other album I have from this year that might qualify is Beggars Opera - Waters of Change.
Is Egg's The Polite Force obscure? I doubt it is, but not sure. |

Same. I feel like anything I have been able to find on CD from that era isn't particularly obscure. Somebody thought they were relevant enough for a modern format release. And I'm not a vinyl collector. I suppose the closest to fit the criteria are: Buon Vecchio Charlie - s/t Moving Gelatine Plates - s/t Solution - s/t |

Damn, for some reason I'm having a really, really challenging time even finding an album that qualifies as obscure from that year!
The closest thing I have is Beefheart Mirror Man, lol. I'll be back!
