Excellent choice. I was going to go with Future Soon by Coulton.

That one is great!

I keep mis-remembering one line as “I’m not unreasonable, I mean at some point you’re gonna hafta die”

I’ve always been into freeform radio stations that color outside the lines, college stations like WPRB from Princeton, WFMU from NY/New Jersey, KFJC near the Bay Area, etc., have discovered a ton and a half of stuff that’s way off the beaten path and has caught my ear.

Here’s a good example I picked up around twenty years ago from KFJC, it could have been any one from too many choices to count, but for some reason this was the first song to pop into my mind right now.

If memory serves, I believe it’s a field recording taken in the Sahara Desert, a nomadic people from around Morocco or Tunisia, and can only imagine the magical environment, close my eyes to try and visualize the crisp dry Saharan air at night, a large bonfire, the sky exploding with stars above, and this trance-inducing, mystical chanting.

Halima Chedli Ensemble - “Touhami Dikr”.

I dunno if it would be classed as obscure any more seen as it now has over 2m plays, but when I first heard it 4 years ago it was for sure obscure.

I also remember when it was obscure but i keep seeing it pop up as a meme of absurdity, which it is, of course. I think most people don’t realize the level of virtuosity on display.
