popular can not be obscure?

right, no idea.

if it's most obscure music i would say the new boc album is
the most obscure one i've come across, i just can't get into
it and im sure it's brilliant.

obscure is kind of like unknown... it is something few have
heard and few ever will due to its nature or the
circumstances it is in.

How about "Ans Synthetizer (Russian Early Electronics
1964-71)" or "Tresors de la musique mechanigue", mechanical
piano from 1863=]

depends, do you mean obscure as in unknown or obscure as in
the style.

an electric storm by the white noise probably deserves a
mention

Obscuro is a nebulous category that encompasses the weird,
the puzzling, the ill-conceived, the unclassifiable, the
musical territory you never dreamed existed. Or, to put it
another way, it's the kind of music that devoted record
geeks play for one another, with the announcement "you have
to hear this." Obscuro records might be novelties good only
for a laugh or two; they might be so utterly bizarre that
you can't quite process them no matter how often you've
heard them; they might be failed experiments in commercially
accepted styles, or wildly uncommercial; or, they might just
be extremely rare records that have become legendary among
collectors in part because very few people have heard them.
Though it can come from virtually anywhere, obscuro tends to
be concentrated in areas that either tried to push the
boundaries of studio technology, or that experimented with
offbeat instrumentation or stylistic fusions. More
specifically, that means exotica and space-age pop (from the
easy listening side), as well as psychedelia, progressive
rock, and experimental (read: avant-garde) rock. Although
obscuro records are by definition obscure and difficult to
discover (much less track down), the Re/Search compilations
Incredibly Strange Music, Vols. 1 and 2 (and their
accompanying books) make a good entry point, as do most of
the reissues on the Arf! Arf! label.

edgas definition will do nicely, but really i was looking
for your own ideas of what obscure was..

Aidan Baker moistens me, rates high on my last.fm, and I've
heard like 20 of his releases, but a quick search of XLT
reveals only myself and Pietrobot have ever namedropped him.
I guess he must be kind of obscure, I have no problem
finding info and stuff about him on the net though.

Ahhh man, that ans synthesizer comp is great! Sounds really
kind of "tarkovsky" in places :)

Some of the stuff on oggum records is awesome and according
to the search i'm the only one to give a tin shit about
them, can't think of much else though.
