Your secret album CD/album
Discussion
What's your favourite CD album that no one else will have heard about? The CD that you love but all your friends go, who? The CD that is really obscure but you would take to a desert island.
Mine would be; 24 Years Of Hunger - Eg & Alice.
Great album, bit navel gazing but the ideal soundtrack for a wet Sunday. I would be surprised if anyone else (except the music critic of The Sunday Times who has admitted he loves it) actually owns it.
Any other suggestions?

Two of my favourite albums are by an American artist called CC Adcock. Nobody's ever heard of him, there isn't much about him on the web and youtube only turns up 14 results.
He's from Louisiana and makes modern rock and roll, mixed with cajun and anything else he can throw in the mix. Great songs mixed with genius guitar playing.
Having only released 2 albums in the last 10 years you couldn't call him prolific but both House Rocker and Lafayette Marquis are superb records.
These are his only studio tracks on youtube.

Makes great driving music too.

Seeing as you own every piece of recorded music ever creadted by human beings that's quite a recommendation. I'll go check it out now.which is the best piece of recorded music ever created by human beings.

I think mine is Deconstruction. When Jane's Addiction fell apart the first time the guitarist (Dave Navarro) and the bassist (Eric Avery) locked themselves away to make this self-titled one-off piece of arty alternative rock that in parts is stunning. Listed to the song Iris on youtube for a taster: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mVADCalHJpo&fea...
Dave Navarro kick's a$$ (Jane's Addiction Nothing's Shocking has to be one of the all time greatest alt rock albums).
My secret album (although not really that secret) would have to be I am Kloot - I am Kloot, check out the link to see what there like.

FAIL - I have 2 of their albums http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=457mjzLidgo
lots of diverse taste on here but no one I know (apart from a good mate) knows Ed Kuepper who i think is great
small sample though early stuff is way better

The album 'Fabrique' by Fashion. Electro pop's finest moment missed by just about everyone.
THAT is a superb album. You know it's been re-issued on CD ? Titled "The Height Of Fashion", but it is effectively "Fabrique"I'll think about the question and add something later.
Two CDs that get an occasional outing for me....
The Scary-Go-Round EP by Jellyfish
Fireworks by Pele (Saw them supporting Del Amitri many years ago, and was hooked!)
ETA: To Hypno-Toad - I have a copy of the Eg and Alice CD - I recieved it is a freebie from the promoter when I was working in commercial radio! (I did like the track "Indian" though!)
