I enjoy Bernard Adamus. It’s blues from Quebec: http://bernardadamus.bandcamp.com/album/cqui-nous-reste-du-texas
Spacemen 3 (they’re a band).
Their 1988 ‘The Nephilim’ album is goth good…sorry can’t link the whole album

Matmos’s Plastic Anniversary album is a really interesting listen and produced pretty well. The sounds are mostly comprised of, you guessed it, plastic. Definitely some strange yet interesting music. Their Ultimate Care II album is great as well, as long as you like the sounds of washing machines.
Just had a listen to plastic Anniversary. …was rather interesting if nothing else. I was most struck by the high production quality lol. The opening track “Breaking Bread” actually has a music video. Apparently the title originates from how they sampled the sounds of breaking vinyl records by a band named “Bread”.
breakcore…
This album will give your cans a workout…
I’m not sure if anyone will call them unusual, but they’re definitely far from mainstream. Hooverphonic & Johnny Hollow are two that come to mind right away.
I like Shintaro Sakamoto, who is probably best described as “music to have an existential crisis to” . His albums tend to also be great for testing imaging, IMO.
Been listening to a local prog-rock band, Ring van Möbius, and even seen them in concert 3 times.
I so need this on vinyl. Back in the day I spun this cd almost daily.
Not that unusual, but unique nonetheless:
Belleruche
In their own words, their genre is “handmade hip hop blues soul” (at least on their first album, Turntable Soul Music; it may have evolved since then, have to check out their newer stuff).
