Before they were Daft Punk, yet after the (quite frankly) dreadful Cindy So Loud 7" which gave them their new name, this one is alright.

Gary Numan's Bombers was mentioned upthread, there's a few other little-known gems on the compilation The Plan such as "The Monday Troop" and "Crime of Passion".

Not a little-known record, but I never knew Stephen Luscombe (later of Blancmange) played in the Portsmouth Sinfonia. He also seems to be on one of the Spontaneous Music Orchestra albums.

Not sure how little-known this is but a decade before "Pop Muzik" Robin Scott was being a psych-folker, his LP has its moments
