Blir Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 I'll most likely catch quite a lot of shit for this but I find Venetian Snares has fairly decent quality control if you ignore the last few releases he's done. Not every track or every album is good but it is plentiful and prolific and most of it is pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Ron Manager Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 bardo pond Nice, I didn't think anyone else here was into Bardo Pond. I fucking love them. Their catalogue is so vast, I probably haven't listened to half of it... but pretty much everything I have (which is mostly their 'big label' albums, less of the self-released stuff) is very very strong. Definitely one of my favourite bands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suffocate Peon Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Radiohead with a 7 album streak and numerous eps and single tracks that remain high quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joshuatxuk Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 I'd add Radiohead, Beatles, and Steely Dan if they had put out more excellent albums, but they top out at like 5 or 6 only Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amen Lare Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Honestly i think there is no other artist(s) that followed the same route as Ae album-wise. It was really special until after Untilted. There was even a strong myth of some cutting-edge shifting with each release. Pop music inhabitants (i.e. anyone oriented on album format) don't operate this way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dr lopez Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 yeah this is honestly the only musical artist I can think of whose career spanned over 20 years, and put out not only consistently incredible work, but also moved the entire scope and understanding of music as an art form forward in their lifetime. That is really hard to come by. I'd say 80% of John Cage's music is unlistenable shit, but he's probably one of the 20th century's singular influences. Yeah Sonic Youth and Scientist have great strings of albums, but let's get real here, they've done NOTHING as conceptually powerful and forward thinking as what booth and brown have done since cavity job.

joshuatxuk Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 @joshuatx Who's the second one from the top? Scientist. There's actually quite a few dub and reggae artists I could up there, I'm quite partial to that genre though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Roksen Creek Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 JS Bach (though obviously not "albums"). Other than that, maybe Coil? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LimpyLoo Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 I'd add Radiohead, Beatles, and Steely Dan if they had put out more excellent albums, but they top out at like 5 or 6 only You'd count REM but not Beatles? Madness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Aserinsky Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 I've pretty much never heard a bad Sun Ra album and that guy's got one of the most prolific discographies known to man... if you don't count the novelty records he was involved in during the late 50s, he had a pretty solid career.

solarion Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 i think a lot of jazz artists win just because they put out so much. if you can improvise beautifully on a standard you don't need to compose nearly as much of your own work to put out an album, and that saves a lot of time. or for that matter if you improvise for nine minutes on a track when you generally had to put out 40-50 minute albums. so shall we say Herbie Hancock?
