I Seek Obscure Prog Albums to Review

I've decided to write reviews on this site. I'm mainly looking for the albums that have 0 (zero) ratings on this site. As, they would be rather difficult to come across using the searching tools. Yet, you can recommend me any "obscure" album. If I feel like reviewing it after giving a listen, I'll do it. 

I'm quite knowledgeable on prog metal and neo-prog. But, I can take any suggestions. Challenges are good. Plus, if I will be the first to review an album, that would be the best one of it! 

Thanks in advance!

Thank you Saperlipopette!, very much appreciated. It will be fine to delve into the unknown prog electronic domains.

Thanks Drew! I'll check all of them out, and will most probably review various albums among theirs. Actually prog electronic is one of the prog sub-genres that I'm better familiar with. But, I hardly came accross such albums that interested me. I hope I'll discover some hidden gems thanks to you and Saperlipopette!. 

^ Oh, thanks. I wasn't aware of such listing. That will be helpful!

^ The New Criticism movement in literary theories might be beneficial for me in reviewing stuff from sub-genres that I'm virtually clueless about. If I feel confident enough, I'll consider taking all prog sub-genres into consideration for my new challenge. Thank you Christian.

My focus will be mostly on lesser known bands from the recent past but not brand new(so at least a few years old). That isn't written in stone though. I just don't want to do what everyone else is doing.

As many have stated on this forum earlier, writing the billionth review for household names is also not my thing. The reason why I asked mainly for the albums that have zero ratings was that, it would be hard and time-consuming for me to seek them myself. Plus, if someone says that s/he likes such an album, it is worth considering. Given that, a very large portion of the extremely obscure cultural products probably are so for valid reasons, and it wouldn't interest many to read reviews of an uninteresting album. If some obscure stuff interests someone, the chances that it is worth checking out are bigger.

All in all, I'll not limit myself with solely reviewing such albums. I created this thread for expanding my "playground" and getting help for that. So far so good! Thank you everyone. And to you too, Cambus741.

Just out of curiosity are you planning on buying these albums or listening to them on youtube or spotify or something similar? I've always wondered if people actually buy all the albums they review. Not a big deal. I'm just curious.

None of my albums have been reviewed yet. :(
