FSOL do seem to release a huge amount and I can't/don't keep up with it all and take a look at their website every so often to see what is happening as they don't put everything on Spotify and if they do they don't always keep it on there.
For that reason I usually buy physical music direct from them.
Environments was a 2008 release followed by another 6 in the series and I do like them all.
'From the Archives' series is more for the collector and I don't have them all because although the quality is there the tracks don't always make sense like they would on a 'proper' album.
They have done some odd releases under their pseudonyms and as Amorphous Androgynous the album 'We Persuade Ourselves We Are Immortal' is worth checking out for a Prog Rock-esque trip.
