Sorry but Phrozemlight has more than 300 full length albums (excluding Lives, EPs and compilatioms. It's almost the same track repeated for ages, but this is what the Berlin school sometimes looks like.

Hawkwind is the most incontinent band of all.

I did a check of their releases on Discogs, and this is what I found:

261 unique releases (albums, singles, compilations, videos, misc) -- not counting re-releases of the same album

1060 different compositions (i.e. named songs)

So, by my calculations, any one release contains only, on average, 1060/261 = 4 new tracks -- the rest being repeats!

It's actually even worse considering that many of the named compositions are actually repeats, but are counted as different because of spelling variations, or errors in Discogs bookkeeping. So there are actually fewer than 1060 unique compositions spread out over the 261 releases.

I mean, consider "Master of the Universe". It appears as 125 different recordings (a total of 351 different tracks) on their 261 releases. Almost one out of two releases will contain this song.

I like Hawkwind's music. I just don't like how they keep recycling the same music over and over.
 

There are certainly myriad compilations/collections and live releases, but they do have many wholly unique studio albums, all the way up to the present.

And most of their compilation albums and many of their live albums are not authorized by the band at all and should be removed from the archives, for example "The Text of Festival" or "Bring Me the Head of Yuri Gagarin".

Perhaps prolific may be more appropriate?

Incontinent has other implications.

I chose the word on purpose. as I said earlier in this thread: I thought this word best described an artist that can't hold back his musical excretions, like an incontinent person can't hold back his/her body excretions

Yeah I was noticing Phrozenlight's crazy discography just the other day.  What has he got like 30 new albums so far this year?  It's like a magazine subscription or something.
