FYI, the "If you want more energy and a heavier sound" link on the Nonagon Infinity section is presently a broken link.
Thanks! This is the kind of crowd-sourced QA it needs.

I’ve gotten my replacements in if you’re still interested in these banged up copies, send me a message.
damn, Needle Juice moves quickKing Gizzard – Demos Vol. 3 + Vol. 4
King Gizzard have finally released a followup to the first collection of demos, and with multiple new jams and two versions of The Dripping Tap, it does not disappoint! As usual, our calling is to …needlejuicerecords.com
obviously there's no universal answer to this question, but for me there's no challenge keeping up with, and connecting to, their music (except maybe financially).3 more albums in 2022? Wow.
I know y'all are big fans, but I gotta ask, at what point does this band release so much music that their fans simply become fatigued? I think I may have hit that point. Ive stopped buying the last few releases and am still struggling to fully absorb KG and LW. I suppose one good thing is the albums seem to stay in print, so I can eventually catch up. Maybe fatigued is the wrong word. I seem to struggle to make a connection with a lot of their albums lately because by the time I've become somewhat familiar with a piece of work, a new album is released.
This is where I am too. This is just the kind of music I'm drawn to and I like what they're doing. Surprisingly I get more excited by their announcements than a lot of other bands I like these days. There's something to their creative output that keeps me coming back and excited each time to know what they've come up with. It's fun and refreshing to break the typical music mold. And I don't think there are a lot of bands who could pull this off, or of they tried that I'd actually get into like this. Thee Oh Sees, for instance, put out some good stuff but I don't feel the draw to listen immediately to everything they do because a lot sounds like filler to me. I imagine some may feel that way about Gizz, but it hasn't gotten there for me.obviously there's no universal answer to this question, but for me there's no challenge keeping up with, and connecting to, their music (except maybe financially).
I'm still excited when new music is announced, I was loving watching all the live streams of their tour, and while the Bootleg stuff can feel superfluous and out of control at times, the main output still holds constant quality for me.
not sure if/when I'll ever reach a saturation point, but they're going to have to try a lot harder for me to get there.

Honestly, when people ask me about Gizz, they often ask where to start, and my first question is what stuff are they generally into. I feel like Gizz has an album for almost anyone at this point, but I know they aren’t for everyone. And certainly not all of it is for everyone.3 more albums in 2022? Wow.

Finally got to make the pilgrimage to Flightless Factory on the weekend. Picked up these and some merch. Seems pretty far removed from King Gizz these days, but they do still have their own section, mostly just of the latest issues so I felt my money was better spent on something new to me.
It's a very niche selection, real taste making stuff (like I think most record stores in Melbourne, as I discovered), so in that spirit I trusted them and bought Spiral Galaxy and the Silver Apples unheard. Then Peanut Butter Traffic Jam is one of the few legacy Flightless albums I don't already have, Eggy on the right is one of their newest bands and that album came out the day I was in there, and Matt Berry is one of the few familiar names in the whole shop.
Very worth the visit if you're in the North of Melbourne, I happened to be staying around the corner but it's actually quite far removed from the CBD. Absolutely buried in the suburbs so it's all very local and laid back.
