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 .
