Favorite Albums Not in the Mainstream Found on Streaming Services


What are your favorite albums you have found on streaming services in any genera that would not be considered in the mainstream? What I mean by not in the mainstream are albums form artists generally less well known, that do not get media attention or … albums from artists that chart but the particular album does not get the same level of media attention.  
 

For example, surfing Qobuz, I recently found a live album from German artist, Loveland by Carolin No, a pop singer not popular in the US, that fuses unusual, complex and freeform improvisational structures from jazz, country and rock.  I find myself getting lost in her freeform style.  Her studio recordings do not go as far with the improvisational structure. The live recording is a well produced live album that retrieves the ambience of the large hall and solid bass, with slightly distant miking, producing correct dynamics for the miking … soft but I’m my opinion correct for the distance.  It is far from an audiophile’s standard from an engineering perspective but more than decent.  I recommend a listen.  
 

I hope to hear some of your recent finds.

A Gathering of Friends for Making Music: Golden Ring. Folkways Records 1974.  I’ve been searching for this for decades and it pops up on Qobuz. I had the band’s name wrong and the wrong name for the song I was searching for (Nonesuch).  

Any good sites or apps for music discovery? Not Roon, Qobuz, Tidal or Spotify which are not very good based on my experience.  

Rik Emmett and RESolution 9 - RES9. Great album in my opinion.

Rik Emmett is well known, but not this group.

Alex Lifeson plays on End of the Line. Cool guitar starts at 4:33.

James Labrie sings on I Sing.
