What's the best album no-one but you has heard of

fairly obscure(file under early 70's fuzz)

los dug dug - 'smog'(1971)
demon fuzz - 'afreaka!'(1970)
 
Metal — Blood of Kingu — De Occulta Philosophia
Dub — Scientist Rids the World of the Evil Curse of the Vampires

Both very unique.
 
Dub — Scientist Rids the World of the Evil Curse of the Vampires
Fucking fantastic album. Every tune a banger. Also constitutes the entirety of the reggae radio station on GTA3. Awesome.

I'm seeing Scientist next month. Yessss.
 
Any fans of classic style blues based rock (stones, aerosmith) should check out Izzy Stradlin's (ex Guns N' Roses rhythm guitarist) solo albums. He's put out 9 or 10. They're real chill and really badass. There's even a few reggae songs. Great albums to put on in the background for smoke sessions.
 
Tim Reynolds - "Stream"

Just Tim and an accoustic guitar. No effects, no second takes.

His first solo album from 1993

ALso:

Tim Reynolds and Greg Howard

A Collection of Spontaneous Improvisations:
Sticks and Stones - (1987)

This is out of print, but I heard some of it back in the day and it was mind blowing.... more mind blowing than Autechre live

"Guitar virtuoso Tim Reynolds and Chapman Stickist/saxophonist Greg Howard's first recording. Available in October 2001 for the first time on CD. These improvisations characterize the evolutionary path of the world. Some abstract, some agressively grooving. Recorded without overdubs. Some of Tim's absolute best electric guitar work, and a rare recording of Greg on alto sax. 10 tracks, total time 58:13. Packaged in cardstock sleeve. Engineered by Greg Howard, Produced by Tim and Greg."
 
"short stuff" by short stuff, '75 or '76 i think. out of wisconsin, funky blues kinda like the fabulous thunderbirds. always liked "if bad luck was money."
i know there's a copy in a box somewhere around here. def
worth a listen.

seven - cymatics

http://www.7band.com/

really good meshuggah/deftones/tool vibe music with all clean vocals, almost no screaming. pretty sci-fi in subject nature and tone, lots of electronics and cool vocal effects and great riffs. really worth checking out, there's a song player on the link above.
 
probably too mainstream I know however what about Captain Beyond's self-titled first album of '72?

Dead Meadow's Old Growth. I'm sure plenty of people here have heard this, but out there it might not be as popular.
 
The Coven - Boneless christian.

Old school underground seattle thrash metal. Hilarious songs, take with a grain of salt, but hella great thrash style you can bang your head to.
