The Lesser Knowns

The Lesser Knowns is a series of compilation albums organized by producers Belgerum and Bmo Thirteen, originally with the aim of bringing due attention to underappreciated brony musicians. As the series progressed, however, it evolved into something of a showcase for new artists, paying less attention to relative merit.

The response to the first volume was generally positive among musicians, and it spread among such artists as Circuitfry and Omnipony on Tumblr. Derpy Grooves went so far as to say it was 'better than Balloon Party.'

Three volumes have been released so far, with the second being split into two smaller releases. A spinoff project known as Beyond Our Reach was initiated by Bmo Thirteen after the third volume's release, aiming for an album truer to the spirit of the first volume of TLK, and was released on April 24, 2013.
