Recommend your "hidden gem" albums for the 1990's

Postby pcqgod » 07 May 2018, 19:21

Post as many as you'd like, whether a major label flop or some obscure release by an obscure band from your obscure hometown.

It’s Heavy in Here - Eric Matthews.
It takes a big man to cry, but it takes a bigger man to laugh at that man.

All on the fairly obscure, but not obviously beyond the tastes of BCB side of things:

Crescent - Now
Radial Spangle - Ice Cream Headache, Syrup Macrame
Movietone - Movietone
Lake of Dracula - Lake of Dracula
Solex - Solex vs the Hitmeister
Gridlock - Further
Thule - 321 Norma 2
Like fast-moving clouds casting shadows against a hillside, the melody-loop shuddered with a sense of the sublime, the awful unknowable majesty of the world.

Silver Jews - The Natural Bridge
The second Elliott Smith and the final Heatmiser (such a giant, odd that he isn’t BCB mentioned much more)
Now the alt-Country shite has blown over don’t the Uncle Tupelo records stand out?

Mostly as evidence of how record critics once wielded great power.

I never warmed to that one myself (despite repeated efforts), but I do consider the preceding run of music leading up (Supersonic Storybook, Stull, Saturation) incredibly special.

It’d make a very good Stull-sized EP.
