Suggest one obsure album we all should hear

Bozzio - Levin - Stevens: "Black Light Syndrome"

Harry Partch
San Diego State prof.  In particular Eight Hitchhiker Inscriptions from a Highway Railing at Barstow California
Tidal has it, album is  The World Harry Parch
He designed and built his own instruments and tonal scale

What a great thread. Where else would we find such gems as "Eight Hitchhiker Inscriptions..." by Harry Partch?  (the king of non-12TET)

Maybe I missed it, but I didn’t see any Fred Frith yet.

My pick:
Espers "S/T"

Andrew Gold - The Fraternal Order of All
The Wondermints (Brian Wilson's backing band)

Mudcrutch's first album, featuring Tom Petty pre-Heartbreakers.

Jimi Hendrix "Crash Landing" - different take on some of the songs you might be familiar with; no input from Hendrix or his band members and some extreme editing was undertaken to make the songs more "listenable" so don't mistake it for an actual Hendrix album.
