Mansbestfriend Pt. 2: No Thanks
  • Released: 2003
  • Format: CD
  • Label: Self-released (2004 re-release on Morr Music)
  • Inititially self-released, the album was repackaged and remastered with additional tracks in 2004 and released by Morr Music under the title The New Human Is Illegal,
    with Sole using "Man'sbestfriend" (with an apostrophe) as an alternate moniker rather than as a title for the first time, as he would again (without an apostrophe) for his 2007 instrumental project Poly.Sci.187.

2007 Poly.Sci.187
  • Released: 2007
  • Format: CD
  • Label: Anticon
  • Instrumental project.
  • Sole adopted the "Mansbestfriend" moniker for this album (as he had first done for the Volume 2 re-release), intending upon releasing instrumental work under that name.
    However, "Mansbestfriend" has since reverted to the title of a series of self-produced albums (as it began) with the release of fifth and sixth entries in the series in 2011. Poly.Sci.187 thereby retroactively became Mansbestfriend 4.
