I was digging through my album collection and I found a couple gems. What are some albums that you thought were totally fantastic but failed to make any sort of impact on the world whatsoever? Here's mine: Colourbox - s/t Fatima Mansions - Viva Dead Ponies Insides - Euphoria His Name Is Alive - Mouth By Mouth Pieter Nooten & Michael Brook - Sleeps With the Fishes Poster Children - Daisychain Reaction Glee Club - Mine Pram - Helium Bailterspace - Vortura Ultra Vivid Scene - Joy 1967-1990 |

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

Deee-Lite - dewdrops in the garden |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I recommend..the album Thermos and EP Aim...Baliterspace were also The Gordons..the legendary band that has been cited as an influence by Sonic Youth..as well as being the lineup for Skeptics...a stunning AvantRock/Industrial combo.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah the " Suburbia " soundtrack is very nice....Sonic Youth I believe isnt it? |
||||||||

selection sixteen - spusher totally underrated |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I've heard a couple of tracks by them, but i don't know what they're called is their stuff any good? what genres does their music sound asimilar to? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oops, i meant to put who i was on about....i'm on about VAST |
||||||||
|

|
Phil Collins - Face Value |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Coil - The Remote Viewer ok, coil is well-known enough, but this album isn't... probably because it's never been released in stores, nor on the internet, only 500 copies on cd-r... :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

hard normal daddy - ²pusher finally we are no one - múm beautiful freak - eels water & solutions - far the moldy peaches united by fate - rival schools |

Public Enemy - Greatest Misses |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hard normal daddy - ²pusher ? you really think its a forgotten album? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
VAST are cool mate, the first album is the better one, the guy (Jon Crosby) did it entirely on his own. The second isn't bad but it veers worryingly close to U2 - the first one is much more original. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I know 'Water And Solutions', Sine - the first 5 tracks are grrreat, not too keen on the rest :) |
||||||||
|

Vatican Nitez is best forgotten. ;-) |

| |||||||||
|
|
yea the VAST s/t album is incredible, hence its placement on my list. back then it was just a "he" btw. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i think sparky lightbourne is very underrated, hes not done an album yet (under that name anyway) but he deseves recognition..... |

What about the Goat's first album Tricks of the Shade ? I mean I don't even think you can't get that in most record stores now. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
nacmat, Agree with you there on Selection Sixteen. |
||||||||
|

Love- Forever Changes A shimmering thing of beauty. I guess it's actually LESS forgotten now than it used to be... I don't even think it made the top 100 when it was released back in '67. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ha! you beat me to it! also look out for "four sail" i think it has recently been re-issued on cd |
||||||||

The White Noise - An Electric Storm |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Too lazy to read exhaustively, but has anyone mentioned: Spirit - 12 Dreams of Dr. Sardonicus Amazing jazzy trippy funky stoned hippy album. Imagine if the Moody Blues had Fuck. I have two vinyl copies, the less fucked of which is goin on the deck as of now |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Aoki Takamasa - Silicom/Silicom Two Kepler - Missionless Days Saloon - (This Is) What We Call Progress The Saloon album did give the world the no.1 track in John Peel's Festive 50 though |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
wayout already said it : A Silver Mt. Zion - He Has Left Us Alone But Shafts Of Light Sometimes Grace The Corner Of Our Rooms. It's one of my favourite albums ever. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i have that its a great album, but i think i prefer clear spirit |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
OOOO do it have Fresh Garbage? |
||||||||
|
|

Tomita - Daphnis et Chloe |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I have mentioned it before.. bisk-strange or funny haha Readymade - Bold Cylob-Previously Unavailable on Compact Disc Tresor142 Globus Mix Vol.4- The Button Down Mind of Daniel Bell Super Collider-Head On + Raw Digits |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Unkle - Psyence Fiction already mentioned here really underrated album which in my opinion is beautifuly great |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
agreed.. dj shadow did an amazing job on it (my favorites: lonely soul, unkle main title theme, guns blazing, rabbit in your headlights) and it's interesting to hear his music w/ guest vocalists. i think i prefer this album to the private press. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
But it was far from forgotten though..It got more coverage then the Queen's Knee Operation... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"i think i prefer this album to the private press. " I dont think it... I am sure, I feel it, I totally think that... I prefer it to the private press... which is ok, but not as this only my opinon |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
far from forgotten though? well maybe, but it is underrated which is a way of not remembering it as a great album, so this means its forgotten as a great album... and for me one of the best forgotten albums... you get me? I am tired of my own conclusion |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
kinda..but it got massive press coverage..rave reviews..interviews and what nots when it came out..I remember it clear as day...the music shop windows down here all had life sized cutouts of that U.N.K.L.E logo/character thingy.. all I am saying is..dont worry..plenty of people appreciated it:) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
true and most of the albums i mentioned got good reviews and decent to good sales when they came out as well, but the thing is, they've been forgotten or marginalized since then (wrongly, IMO). |
