THIS IS IMPRESSIVE!!!!
Eno is an incredibly prolific musician who has been at it for 30+ years. IIRC, on the web site (?enoweb?) they even triage the releases so as to give a clue as to which releases are essential, highly desirable, of some interest, for die-hard collectors etc.
And Bill Nelson; fuhgedaboutitt!!!
His dozens of albums go in and out of print every time the wind changes direction!
Between the 2 of them I would think that there might be 200-300 releases!!

I am missing Satelite songs from Bill Nelson but should be getting it shortly, with that I'll have all47 studio releases from him plus all the other guest aprearences (Channel light vessel,cabaret voltaire etc...)
And I have 188 releases with eno, i am missing some of his compilations but do have all thats on them in one form or another.Eno's sound installations are the hardest to track down though as they are limited to those who attend only, and i'm like in iowa.

As I have previously said, this is VERY IMPRESSIVE! Obviously the internet has become indispensible in being able to even know what has been released. I think Bill Nelson is now doing his own website. Out of curiosity, how many of his releases are/were available as cds, versus vinyl only? I must have close to 50 cds/vinyl records from him (not a big Eno collector though). Even though I am in New York it isn't necessarily a given that I would be able to get Eno's sound installations. I think that recently he had one at a famous airline terminal at JFK that was cancelled when some partygoers on opening right got drunk and trashed the place[:(!] And I know that he spoke about the installation previous to that (in NYC), but i only found out after the fact.
