Found an original concept album made in its entirety by one guy. Its quite rough in parts, but god, its filled with soul.

I've attached the link with a timestamp to the song I liked the most. I feel people like this who create something completely unique but get unrecgonized because its basically unsearchable deserve any attention they can get.

You guys like obscure music?
How about music by a Japanese barkeep who goes by the name Joe and built a studio in the backroom of his bar? How about a Japanese indie band named ブランクス (=BLANKS=)?
I'm going to get this burned so I can keep digital backups and then upload so ya'll can listen.

Well, for anyone interested, I finally got around to it. Here is where I'm currently keeping my archive of it.

2 decades later and I wish I had more music from these guys...

I found this freaky illbient / experimental track made by an obscure french composer, it is so ominous that I can barely listen to it entirely :

Genki Rockets. Pretty unique case in Japanese music. Because ordinary people associate it with weeb/anime stuff. Not to mention the music video is unique. Makes me wish they still were around and composed an anime ost. Also they appeared in no more heroes and child of eden.

Regardless of how unknown it may be in the West, two million views do not constitute "obscure" in my book.

Zero shame on the mainframe
This was done for a compilation album on lainchan a while back. Most of their stuff is forgettable tbh but I like this one

Neboscrub, one man electronic producer based out of Russia. They've composed original soundtracks for plays, most of his tracks are a grungy kind of atmospheric. Lately he's been using AI for his Album covers and I think it's the most tasteful I've seen.
